Nikki Finke takes time out from writing 973 posts about The Dark Knight‘s box-office (we get it, it’s going to make lots of money) to write about how The Office spinoff will not be a spinoff at all, and it’s largely due to Greg Daniels’ determination to create something similar but unconnected:

Like most of you, I have no idea what the Office spinoff will be about. I do think, however, that no matter what the title turns out to be, many of us will continue referring to it as “The Office Spinoff.” I’m just so used to that title after NBC blaring it at us for months.

How many episodes of The Office this season have advanced the idea that Jim is turning into Michael? Several, I think. In the episode where he screwed up and trapped everybody in the parking lot, and his co-workers turned against him, it was clear that he was surprised to realize that he, not Michael, had become the guy who ruined everything for everybody. And in last night’s episode, as he tried for the first time in his life to actually expend some real effort on his job (for Pam’s sake), we got a glimpse of how a Michael Scott is created: if you want to succeed at this job, you have to be obnoxious, persistent and always “on,” the way Jim became by the end of the golf match.
