After a long summer of wanting more, the season premiere of The Office finally aired last night! I still say this is the funniest show on television and was pretty happy with how the episode went.
Spoiler Alert if you haven't seen the episode yet!
In last night's episode, we learned that Jim took a sales job at the Stamford branch to get a fresh start away from Pam. Ryan, "the temp", took Jim's old job and is sitting at his old desk. But I was happy to see that it doesn't look like Jim fits in at his new job. Maybe he'll come back to Scranton!
Last night's episode also introduced a new character, played by The Daily Show's correspondent, Ed Helms. He plays a character (whose name I can't remember) who works at the Stamford branch with Jim. Ed's character is so much like people we've all encountered at work—the corporate tools with no sense of humor—that it almost hurts to watch.
And to my relief, after last season's Jim and Pam cliffhanger kiss, the show delivered and revealed that Pam didn't marry Roy after all. Stay tuned to find out what's in store for them. I know I will.
According to The Office website, next week's episode will be following Michael and Dwight on a trip to the paper industry convention in Philadelphia where they will interact with Jim and the Stamford manager. Michael has some issues with Jim leaving, and Jim is trying to get news of certain individuals who work in Scranton. And Pam goes on a date with someone new.
