[@AliciaB.]

well, you can _sort of_ explain that with the fact that the cameras are often hidden or far away, but what I find to be the most incoherent is how short-lived everyone's indignation is when they all find out how intrusive the cameras really were. It gets adressed in one, maybe two episodes, and then it's like everyone forgot about it/is okay with it. also, how on earth is that legal ? you can't publish a documentary made by filming people without their consent ??

[@Colinkrauss1]

@@AliciaB. yeah that’s a good point. Lots of undeveloped or underdeveloped plots. Pete and Erin, while they may have been a good fit, just disappears. Pete and Clark sort of get sidelined. Dwight and Clark. Andy on the boat. The Farm as a potential spin off. Camera crew as an actual character, not just “Pam look, Dwight’s eating a baby Ruth”. And there’s probly like ten more. I usually watch through season 8 and skip 9 entirely. 8 has really grown on me.

[@Colinkrauss1]

@@AliciaB. my only counter to that sort-of explanation is, the normal, coalition for reason characters like Jim and Pam would never forget that the camera crew in Fun Run waited somewhere far from the office to set up a film crew to tape Jim getting in Pam’s car and kiss, and then showed them that footage the next day in the conference room. Normal people would have that in the back of their mind for the rest of however long filming goes.
