So, I watched The Office last night with my brother as his arm was getting re-aligned (it’s a long story) and I realized something about Michael Scott. Well, first, I have lost a lot of the sympathy I had for him in past seasons. And second, he has privilege oozing out of his face.
I’ve watched the Office since season three, having seen the first two via the Internet and getting them as presents (TV on DVD is the best thing ever). It’s been on for six seasons, and it’s definitely changed a lot since then–but the one thing that hasn’t is that Michael Scott is still really clueless, totally awkward, and very offensive. It’s the last one that interests me the most, actually.
