Originally posted by samoflangeI'm really surprised Karen is going to be back. I figured they'd have some little scene in the first episode where she quits or something.
Ditto. And there isnt even anyone else in the office for her to move on to. AWKWARD!
Also, Pam looks a little beefier than she was last we saw her. Still hot though.
The promise of hour-long episodes to start the season makes the month-long wait a little more bearable.
This reminds me. Local news bumper ads have been advertising "The Office Convention" (theofficeconvention.com) in Scranton. The specificity of the details would make Dunder Mifflin proud. ;)
If it true that NBC wanted Apple to charge $4.99 an episode, then good for Apple for sticking to their guns. Frankly, I think the $1.99 price was a little steep, especially considering the DRM limitations.
The press release doesn't mention other NBC Universal networks. I wonder if the price increase only applies to NBC shows, or will USA and Sci-Fi shows be disappearing as well?

I was fine with the $1.99 price because I think when I added it up before the cost to buy the season was about the same as buying the DVD season so it seemed fair. Not sure why NBC thinks they should be able to charge more for downloading them than buying them on DVD now.

There's an associated benefit with getting the episodes right away as compared to waiting until the season has been over for a couple of months to get the episodes on DVD. That's why NBC thinks the iTunes downloads should cost more.
Personally I feel that despite that benefit, the cost per episode from iTunes should be FAR less than the cost per episode on DVD. There's a huge difference between being able to watch the episodes on any TV screen or monitor that accepts input from a DVD player and being forced to watch the episodes on a (relatively) tiny iPod screen. But if people are willing to pay for it..

Eh, I've also got AppleTV so I don't always have to watch on the tiny screen. Though yeah the picture isn't close to DVD quality.

I didn't notice a difference, though.
