Plus he sings the "nananana" part really hoarsely, trying to sound cool. It sounds really dorky, because it's completely out of the blue and he sings ever so slightly off key. Gareth opens his suitcase, but before taking a black book - his diary? - out, he starts humming the The Muppets theme song. He doesn't reply to Tim's greeting, and Tim furrows his brows but leaves it at that. Somehow I find it hilarious that he would own a suitcase, as if he's a big businessman. Gareth lifts a black suitcase on the desk. "Morning, Gareth," Tim says politely yet tiredly. Tim can't work peacefully for long, though, as Gareth walks in to add annoyance to the mix. There are many Xerox boxes on the floor - oo, product placement? - and Gareth's policeman-shaped cookie jar is waiting to be introduced. In the establishing shot, we see him sitting all alone, as if there is no one else in the office (even if the voices of others can be heard), and it's the same effect as in the end of season 1: Tim is left in his purgatory, lonely and bored, in a job he hates. We open where we left off: Tim is still here, at his old desk. This is going to be awesome.ĭisappointingly, each season 2 episode lacks a name for chapter one - it's only "episode one", and I don't want to repeat it in the title, because it might get confusing and boring. And David really gets into a downward spiral that quickly culminates in him being fired. Stephen Merchant will make two cameos as the Oggmonster. Rachel and Tim's relationship brings a triangle drama into the Tim and Dawn plot, which I hate and will probably recap very bitterly. The arrival of Neil brings out new, more desperate and pathetic sides in David. In come Neil, Rachel, Brenda, Oliver, and Gareth's mostly invisible friends. Gone are Malcolm, Donna, Ricky, and Joan.

The dynamics of season 2 are quite different from season 1 because of the character changes. I actually saw this season first and it was the first The Office DVD I owned, so I've seen these episodes even more than the first season ones.
