That is probably the best episode of this season. This whole season was really missing Jim screwing with Dwight. And the whole Kevin storyline kicked ass, too.

Yeah, those were posted before the final clip with Angela and Dwight. However, I still didn't like Michael's choice. I guess this was their version of cliffhanger for next season. Nothing really dramatic (with the exception of Angela and Dwight), but just a lot of uncomfortable non-resolution of plot.

5/16/2008 9:49:11 AM

That is what good season finales do. Set it up for next year.

5/16/2008 9:53:32 AM

have they shown pam's old boy (rob?) in a while? i cant remember having seen him.

also
hilarious about internman in cuffs.

and Michaels decision was pretty dramatic
Holly liking Michael and going out with Kevin (just b/c she thinks he is slow)
Jim not proposing to Pam
the set up for Jim taking over Ryan's job

i thought all of that was "dramatic"

fucking great episode.

5/16/2008 11:03:33 AM

yea that's gonna work out perfect with both of them in NY...so they leave Scranton and start the new spinoff series?

who'd be the good actor/fit to replace Jim. Dwight needs a counterpart...or at least a promotion

only way I can't see Jim getting the job is if corporate hears the voicemails Jim left Ryan...I can't see Jim and Pam breaking up....only procrastinating the proposal til the start/end of the next season

So I see this : Kevin and Holly end up having a great laugh when she in one way or another finds out he isn't slow while eating pie. They actually hit it off, and then we get this great conflict all next season between Kevin, Holly, and Michael.

I don't make predictions very much, but this seems like something that they would do, and could be funny and increase kevin's role a bit.

When I saw Dwight's back there at the end I laughed so hard coca-cola came out my nose, and it burns like hell, but that's OK, it was worth it.

5/16/2008 1:53:31 PM

Haaha just watched it, holy shit great episode. My favorite part was "Oh it even has an alarm?" when Toby was getting escorted out. Hahhahahah.

Holly thinking Kevin was retarded was great. That and the present Michael got for Toby.

what happened here?

5/16/2008 2:58:28 PM

phyllis walks in on angela and dwight fucking in a cubicle in the office

5/16/2008 3:00:28 PM

In retrospect, my favorite Toby moment was during the Christmas episode when Michael told Dwight to take back Toby's gift basket.

Dwight grabs it and Toby just asks a very resigned "Why?"

5/16/2008 3:09:02 PM

greeeat episode last night. I really hope jim and pam don't do their spinoff next season. they were the sane part of "The Office" and losing them would hurt it i think....atleast in my POV. Oh well though

5/16/2008 3:25:33 PM

great episode

but the whole time michael and jan were talking i was thinking, "but he had 4 vasectomies!! and we know what kind of toll that has on a person!"

Yeah...when is Pam's school thing? Saying it was 3 months (iirc) made me think it's a summer thing, and she'll be back for the start of next season.

I'm gonna miss Toby. He seriously has had some of the better scenes in the show. I really hope he comes back at some point next season, has anyone heard if hes officially moved on? Other then Jim tormenting Dwight, Michael tormenting Toby was the next best thing. I love in the episode where Jan is suing the company and Michael eats lunch with Toby, then after like 30 seconds pushes his tray off the table. Hahahahha I love Toby.

5/16/2008 5:41:25 PM

I think he is still writing so I'd assume he will show up somehow in the future. Not sure how likely the film crew would be to go to whatever tropic place he is going to.

5/16/2008 6:07:26 PM

is amy ryan going to be a regular or semi-regular next year or was last night a one time thing?

5/16/2008 6:20:00 PM

I'm sure that Toby will end up failing at whatever he's trying to do in Costa Rica and end up back in some capacity. It was a pretty spur of the moment thing.

5/16/2008 6:33:06 PM

Jeeze, am I the only person who really doesn't want to see more of that new HR?

5/16/2008 7:51:17 PM

Sounds like it to me. The general consensus among all my friends was a thumbs up.

5/16/2008 8:11:26 PM

a BIG thumbs up for her

5/16/2008 9:51:46 PM

man I was hoping Jan was out of the show for good... I hate her character

5/16/2008 11:13:41 PM

at first I thought the episode was getting off to a slow start and saw the show going downhill pretty quickly . . . the last 15 minutes changed that quite a bit.

5/17/2008 12:31:48 AM

I was also wondering about BJ Novak . . . he always seemed like one of the better writers on the show, so I hope his getting arrested doesn't mean he's gone.

Although I suppose they could do a spin-off about white collar prison

5/17/2008 12:51:14 AM

he could always be gone as a character and just be a full-time writer. toby was one of the writers too, and i imagine he'll probably still be writing.

if not, the losses of the writers will outweigh the losses of the characters they played.

5/17/2008 12:54:47 AM

They are some of the best writers, they won't write themselves out.

I feel next season will have some good episodes dealing with both of them although maybe not in a main character short of way.

5/17/2008 2:51:35 AM

are you guys serious?

Just because their characters left the show doesn't mean the writers are leaving...

(and I'm sure we'll see more of them both later anyways. Michael testifying at Ryan's trial, anyone?)

also:
"okay."
"Into the mike, babe."
"I SAID OKAY."
"SHE SAID YES!"

The episode was a thumbs up just b/c moses was in it. He always gets a couple laughs from me

5/17/2008 1:11:26 PM

just got around to watching it. it's about time they gave me my office back.

5/17/2008 6:27:37 PM

Am I the only one who thinks it would be hilarious if Holly goes through all of next season thinking Kevin is retarded? It could easily happen. Everything he does is sssllllloooooowwwwww.

5/18/2008 4:35:28 AM

Yeah I hope thats something they keep up for a while.

5/18/2008 8:57:59 AM

it'll end at some event outside the office when kevin moves in for the kill

i just hope they dont change his character to act more retarded...everything in this ep was exactly how he was prior, no change required

5/18/2008 10:46:07 AM

Best episode ever, followed by the deposition.

5/18/2008 10:40:02 PM

they really picked up the pace with the last few episodes. they have been much better than the first few that came after the break.

5/18/2008 11:06:46 PM

now we have to wait several months AGAIN for new episodes

well, some webisodes are coming out in july, so i guess thatll be ok

along with the dvd release of season 4, whenever that will be

5/19/2008 12:54:02 PM

Toby hated being on the show, he much prefers writing.

5/19/2008 1:51:53 PM

his name is kunta
