Office Continuity Error
Posted on 4/20/14 at 2:45 am

Episode 21 of season 9, "Livin The Dream"... One of the major plot points of the episode is how Clark has taken over Jim's desk (rightfully so as Jim has been splitting time between DM and Athlead), and Clark refuses to give up his desk which he has earned. Jim wants this particular desk because it is adjacent to Pam's. Andy, who was manager at the time and ends up quitting as manager and then is rehired as a salesman, takes a desk on the same island as Pam/Clark.
Why didn't Jim/Clark take that desk and avoid the awkward confrontation with Jim/Clark near the beginning of the episode?
And for those who say, "Dwight was made manager, so it freed up that desk," Andy rooted himself in that seat before Dwight was made manager.. so there would have been no available desk on that particular desk-island at that time.
I'm not really complaining or trying to point out errors in an awesome show, just something that bothers me upon review.

If you're not trying to point out errors, what is this thread?

Thought this was going to be about whether Jim or Pam started working at Dunder Mifflin first.
Both tell stories about the other helping them on their first day

I don't think you know what a continuity error is.

That's not really continuity

Might they have started the same day?

How much sleep did you get last night? Tossing and turning huh?

Pam worked there first, when she told Jim the first time she realized she liked him was when she was showing Jim to his desk and was informing him about his new desk mate Dwight.

I can't even remember details of post-Michael episodes. They were all so unmemorable

THIS
Jim says he remembers Pam eating mixed berry yogurt for lunch on her first day and he says in another episode that Pam wrote him a note on his first day telling him to enjoy his final moments of not knowing Dwight.

I barely slept a wink last night. It's pretty clear that the OP is onto something.
It's clear that Jim/Clark was afraid to get into an altercation with Jim/Clark, so Jim/Clark hid behind the desk situation so as to neutralize Jim/Clark, leaving Jim/Clark with no ammo to attack Jim/Clark. Jim/Clark never saw it coming.

Not exactly. Here's the converstaion (from when they are dating and discussing when each of them knew they liked the other):
quote:
Jim Halpert: Do you remember what you said to me on my first day of work, just before you walked me over to my desk?
Pam Beesly: Yeah. "Enjoy this moment, because you're never going to back to this time before you met your desk-mate, Dwight."
Jim Halpert: And that's why I knew. You?
Pam Beesly: You came up to my desk, and you said, "This might sound weird, and there's no reason for me to know this, but that mixed-berry yogurt you're about to eat has expired."
Jim Halpert: That was the moment that you knew you liked me?
Pam Beesly: Yup.
Jim Halpert: Wow. Can we make it a different moment?
Pam Beesly: Nope.
I don't remember Jim ever talking about helping Pam on her first day...when was that? Everything I know/remember about The Office has Pam working there before Jim. There is one scene from season one where Jim mentions that Pam's favorite flavor is Mixed Berry, but that doesn't allude to either of their first days.

I'll be honest with you, everything in season 9 and 8 was an error. I refuse to re-watch or buy those two seasons. But I'm gonna go ahead and try to answer what you've posted:
Ok, so I didn't even feel like there was anything to answer.
RIP The Office (my all-time favorite and "go-to" show)

Thats some fact based, evidence-supported, clearing up of an apparent, although now discovered to be incorrect, error in continuity.
Now if you could tell me why i clearly watched Topanga be a hippy and Cory hate her (started liking her during their Scarlet Letter video project) and then Topanga become a hottie and Cory like her, yet the show later tells me time and time again that theyve dated since they were 2.

No, really. That might be a plot hole. It isn't a continuity error. A continuity error might be if in one shot a character is drinking a coca cola, then in the next shot of the same scene the character is drinking a pepsi for example.

Season Nine was pretty solid/legit good.Posted on 4/21/14 at 11:07 am to Hester Carries

quote:I just watched it a couple of weeks ago, and I agree. I watched three or four episodes post Steve Carell and thought the show sucked and quit watching. Watching the last season on a Netflix binge, I frequently found myself laughing out loud and realized it had returned to form. It took a few episodes to figure out why but I think it was two main reasons: first, the writing was just funny again, and two, Ed Helms/Andy Bernard was on his sailing trip for a big chunk of the season. When he moved out of a supporting role and into more of a lead role, I think it killed the show. This was confirmed for me later in the season when he returned and the first few episodes when he's back just drag and aren't funny.
