Office-holic and I have listened to the discussion about the spoiler thread being cluttered with speculation. We are creating this all-new Spoilers Only Thread.

This thread is to post spoiler info ONLY. No speculation allowed. Please post your thoughts and speculations in one of the following threads:

The JAM Spoilers & Speculation Thread

or

The General Spoilers & Speculation Thread

As usual, when posting your spoiler info, please post the source and provide a link.

Please abide to the law according to the rules. This means that if O-H and I have to do a lot of hands-on maintenance to move posts into the appropriate thread, we will re-merge all three threads and have spoilers and speculation all in the single pinned thread at the top.

We will gradually move the spoiler only posts that pertain to future episodes from the old Official Season 3 Spoilers Thread into this one.

Thanks for your patience and cooperation in this matter!

Here is a thread created to speculate on future story lines regarding any aspect of the show in general. Speculation based on actual SPOILER info is allowed and in fact encouraged, so read at your own risk.

Feel free to quote from the The New SPOILERS ONLY Thread.

Also, there is a JAM Spoilers & Speculation Thread to discuss JAM related spoilers to your heart's content.

NOT A SPOILER - BUT JUST SOME APPRECIATION...Thank you very much for doing this. It will make things much easier. I hope it's not too much extra work for you

Can I be the first to spoil?!?!

Preview Clip!

I'd have it no other way - and a great Ryan clip to boot!

I've been to the E! website to look for some spoilers from Kristin. I watched a couple of the videos to see if she mentioned any but she doesn't seem to be giving anything away. If anybody finds some from her- go right ahead and post them here. I believe she usually releases new spoilers on Mondays.....

ok .. this is going to tak e some getting used to

does anyone have the links to those two promos... the one with pam and michael..i didnt get to see it yet.

COCKTAILS: Michael and Jan attend a party at a Dunder Mifflin bigwig's home, where they finally go public with their heretofore hushed romance. While at the party, Jim meets Karen's ex. And the rest of the office dwellers are also in a partying mood, as they head out for a boozy happy hour.



I'm hoping during Cocktails when Jan & Michael 'come out' that it goes smoothly but with Michael I'm sure it will be awkward and comprimising. I can see Michael attempting to 'brand' Jan his woman.

With Cocktails, I wonder if that means that Dwight & Angela will be boozing it up? or not?

I think Dwight's at the party with Michael, Jan, Jim, and Karen. At least for some of the time.

You saw him there in the Myspace pics.

*slaps forehead* I forgot about those! With these two upcoming episodes I keep getting confused.

Any new summaries?

Nothing new from kristin, surprise:

YES! YES! YES! Pam straightened her hair for this week's episode! I've always wanted that.

"Is there...something in your pocket?"

This is hilarious. I love Michael. He is so crazy funny.

From Michael in San Luis Obispo, California: Kristin, I heard Joss Whedon is directing The Office! Can you tell us anything about his ep?
I can tell you that it airs this Thursday, that it's about Michael going to business school with Ryan (the temp) and that it's gonna be freakin' hilarious! Don't believe me? Watch this clip. And FYI, JJ Abrams is directing the episode that airs next week! Office cast, please tell me you're ******* yourself with excitement right now to be working with the two best TV directors alive! (On a related note, the next two episodes of my new Vine show will be directed by Stan, our security guard.)



This is what Kristen on E wrote... now why would she say on a related note... that might be a small hint into something.... any thoughts??

I found this promo/interview of the director for this week's episode. It looks pretty funny! Office Promo

This is from Kristen on E! Nothing Jammish:

From Michael in San Luis Obispo, California: I heard Joss Whedon is directing The Office! Can you tell us anything about his ep?
I can tell you that it airs this Thursday, that it's about Michael going to business school with Ryan (the temp) and that it's gonna be freakin' hilarious! Don't believe me? Watch this clip.

(On a related note, the next two episodes of my new Vine show will be directed by Stan, our security guard.)

From Lauren: I must have scoop on The Office. It's killing me! Anything you could tell me would be great!
Okay, then. Straight from the cast and crew, I give you brand-new shiny...foilers! Executive producer Greg Daniels spilled at last night's WGA Awards that "Toby murders Michael." B.J. Novak was a little cagier, saying only, "I cannot give you any spoilers about the Jim-Dwight romance." (Love. Them.)

From Mandi in Boston: What happened to Andy from The Office? The last thing I remember is him punching a hole in the wall and he's been MIA ever since. What gives?
Fear not, Ed Helms (Andy) is now a series regular, and I'm told the producers love him (smart souls) and plan to give him even more focus in coming episodes. Yay!

Yeah, I posted that 4 posts above yours, Dinored64.


You know....I try. I have a repuation to uphold. And, I do love me some Ryan!

Question: Is this supposed to be a spoilers only thread that allows the comments to other posters, but no speculation...or do you eventually want it just spoilers, no talking (which is probably unrealistic)?

Spoilers will be going into all folders pretty much right?

TV Guide, source TWoP boards:

Sorry Bailey, oversight, I should just start to assume you're one step ahead of me. I can't stay on top of you 24-7

O-H and I have been debating this for a while. I think the idea is that this is the main thread where people (like you ) will break spoiler news, others can ask for links to promos or beg for more dish, and everyone can congratulate and thank those for the info they dig up and share.

Any speculation based on the spoiler info posted here should go into the Spoiler and Speculation threads. Originally, we were going to have just one speculation thread, but then I got tired of posts and PM's complaining that "people only want to talk about Jim and Pam," so I decided at the last minute to create a seprate JAM speculation thread.

Spoilers are allowed in all 3 (and only those 3 threads). I hope it doesn't get too complicated!

OK cool. If I find info, I'll post in here. If I want to talk about that info, I'll post in the speculation threads.

That's simple enough.... Good Luck!

This from TV Guide's issue

Pam and Roy Reunite!
Look who's back together. Yes, that was Pam getting close to ex-fiance Roy at Phyllis' wedding reception on the February 8 episode of The Office. While fans of the NBC sitcom keep wonderng if she'll ever hook up with longtime pal, Jim, Fischer says the reunion makes sense. "I think it's realistic for anyone who's been in a really long-term relationship like Pam and Roy, who are still seeing each other every day at work," Fischer tells TV Guide. "Pam kind of owes it to herself just to make sure that she didn't act hastily" when she called off their wedding.

Where does that leave Jim? He's still with his current squeeze, Karen, but we all know John Krasinski's character has feelings for Pam. "I get letters from young men saying they have a crush on some girl they go to school with or that they work with and what's my advice," Fischer says. "They ask, "What would Pam want?'" They'll have to keep watching to find out.

Hey, I am not sure if this was posted elsewhere, or if this is the right place to post but I noticed on Officetally that Rainn Wilson will be hosting SNL on Feb 24th. That should be funny. And worth staying up late for this old mom!

That info is sooooooo 45 minutes ago. LOL.

Fun times....all the info will probably be repeated about 10x each anyway. Usually is.

Ooooh, then all I'd have to do is lock them together in the supply closet, wait about nine months, and *poof*, my wish would be granted!


Tease.

I heard about this, Jim'sWife.... thanks for reminding me.

I was reading TV Guide today and for the "Cocktails" episode, it said that "Jim has an awkward moment when he's introduced to Karen's ex." The TV Guide summaries are usually just a rewording of the synopsis released by NBC, so I don't know if the introduction of "an awkward moment" actually means anything.

It seems to me that when Michael makes a total over the top idiot of himself in one episode (PW), he somewhat redeems himself in the next. I sense shades of Booze Cruise in Business School....he's *supposed* to be giving Ryan's class some good business advice.....that backfires.....and he ends up giving either Jim or Pam (or both) significant and meaningful advice instead. (Sorry if this belongs in the JAM thread, it's more about Michael than Jim and Pam so I wasn't sure).

Also. Please forgive me if this has been addressed, but refresh my memory: Why was "Cocktails" changed to "Making It Official" and then back to "Cocktails"? Anyone know?

I'm wondering when something big will happen with Dwight and Angela. Since they were reunited in "the return", there's got to be some major "excitement" between the two. I'm thinking maybe a pregnancy... maybe they get caught kissing or something like that?

Anyone know what episode Andy will be coming back for?

I think that pretty much takes Roy and Pam reuniting out of speculation and right into the fact column! That is going to be so hard to watch. If they put RAM together and JAREN break up, basically rewinding the show back to season 2, I'm going to kick my TV and throw it in the trash!!

Sorry, I didn't mean to speculate on the last part, just air my frustration.

I couldn't figure out why in the world Ryan would invite Michael to talk, but I think it's obvious now that he's setting Michael up. The topic is probably something regarding people with no business education in executive positions or why businesses fail, and Michael hasn o idea that he's going to get hammered with tough questions by the students about his lack of business knowledge or the downfall of Dunder Mifflin.



It's killing me, what episode is that from???

I've only seen the justjared pic from Cocktails. Were there other pics released from that episode I haven't seen yet??? If so, does anybody have the link?

I'm home having lunch and just saw the promo for Thursday's Business School on the Sci Fi channel of all places. Pam was hugging Michael (looked like she was upset maybe crying), and then she says, "Michael, do you have something in your pocket?" Too friggen funny!!!!

I think that those pics were from bealsebub blog on Joss Whedon Blog

However, it would appear that the pictures are not working anymore. They were behind the scenes pics with Rainn & Steve in full character in front of the CFO's house, I believe.

edit - Opps. Now that I think about it - Cocktails is directed by JJ Abrams, right? Bealsebub also has a blog about working with JJ Abrams and that must be where the pictures were. But of course those pictures don't work either. Bummer.

The links to the new spoiler speculation threads are on the first page of this post, along with all the information about the switchup. I'm sure you could also find them by searching "speculation" or "spoilers". This way, people who want only spoilers know where to go, and the rest of us can speculate to our hearts' content.


~Holly

SEARCH for speculation and you'll find it. I believe its actually on the first page- just look. I'm much happier with the threads separate.

Yahoo Clips

One new one with Ryan/Michael.

Not hard, O-H, not hard at all.

Oh, wait...was that a rhetorical question?




I posted the Yahoo clips! Don't let that get lost in here.

Those clips were great! I just noticed that in The Bat clip, you can see the boom mike for a few seconds. We'll have to add that one to the list.

I also loved Mindy and B.J. talking about the Office Romances.

In the Yahoo clips about romance, Mindy Khaling says that Ryan will be moving to her section of the office soon, so Andy must come back pretty soon and Ryan moves out of the front.

That may mean that Jim is getting his old desk back too- maybe.

Maybe Ryan won't get credit because the prof won't believe Michael is really a regional manager!



Awesome! Does that mean Jim will get his old desk back and we'll see some more JAM interaction? Maybe Ryan will develop that desk allergy Toby has!


Cute pic Spicycurry! You would make Pam want to put lip gloss on!

Would any kind-hearted soul want to transcribe or summarize the yahoo/tv addict clips? I am without speakers, and very sad.

~Holly

Yeah...I loved it, too. But, it also makes me kind of sad. I feel like I shouldn't like Ryan and Kelly together so much, because apparently, it's a horrible relationship that shouldn't last. Well, yeah, it is- to an extent. I guess I have this ideal that Ryan actually does like Kelly more than he lets on. But maybe not!?!? I don't know. That's for another thread.

You had to be the first!

Thanks! Couldn't resist watching, especially since it's a Ryan clip. "Visiting professor." LOL

I can't wait for Thursday. I loved how the story about the cool teacher Mr. Handel, takes such a dark turn at the end I was not expecting that at all.

Not sure how long this has been there, but on Office Tally, they have the March 1st episode being a rerun. Not really a spoiler, but info on the show.
