did neither of you see the ending with Toby?

pretty sure people on death row aren't allowed to leave prison to attend office parties

4/22/2011 5:02:05 PM

Nah, Toby said he wasn't sure they got the right guy or something

4/22/2011 5:03:52 PM

ahh, I thought I remembered him saying something about being against the death penalty

my bad

4/22/2011 5:20:15 PM

I didn't really enjoy anything after they entered the restaurant, maybe the end with Deangelo reading the "award" for Toby.

Jim Carrey will be on the finale as well

HAHAHAHA I just realized that the whole sitting on Will Ferrell's chest, talking about traumatic childhood experiences, and reciting with loud music blaring in your ears is a slight to the King's Speech. HAHAHAHA

4/26/2011 5:46:42 PM

i can understand missing the chest sitting, but you really missed the headphones?

4/26/2011 9:18:47 PM

I'm sorry okay!

that was great tv

4/28/2011 9:51:30 PM

Wow quite a cast for the finale

4/28/2011 9:54:13 PM

4/28/2011 9:56:36 PM

Good episode. Definitely enjoyed it. I still don't like Will Ferrell. But the episode was nice...looking forward to the rest of the season

4/28/2011 9:56:57 PM

I'm like four episodes behind. I need to catch up. Haven't watched any since the proposal

4/28/2011 9:57:58 PM

Good episode. DeAngelo is a douche. Good that he bounces next episode.

4/28/2011 10:27:18 PM

watching this on DVR...Gabe's "walk away bitch" caught me off-guard.

4/28/2011 10:28:26 PM

^Yes hahha. Gabe was funny this episode.

DeAngelo is still painful to watch...

4/28/2011 11:12:49 PM

I was hoping that Prison Mike would make another appearance. Alas, I am disappoint.

4/28/2011 11:49:47 PM

He'll be back for the series finale in two seasons.

4/29/2011 1:01:57 AM

he'll definitely be back for a guest appearance.

4/29/2011 1:23:33 AM

After this week's episode I am now convinced:

GABE is the Scranton Strangler.

Are you sure?

Gabe is introduced in the episode "Sabre", Season 6 episode 15.

The Scranton Strangler is first mentioned in "The Delivery", Season 6 episode 17/18 when Andy buys a commemorative copy of the paper for CiCi, but it says "Scranton Strangler strikes again."

Of course, the newspaper implies the Scranton Strangler has been around since before "The Delivery" but maybe that's just two weeks or maybe Gabe moved from Florida to Scranton earlier than "Sabre".

He owns over 200 horror movies. He's under constant pressure from Jo. I think it would be a neat twist if it turns out the shy weirdo in the office that Erin has been dating is a murderer. It would also be a way for the writers to cut that annoying character and bring Erin/Andy together in a unique way.

4/30/2011 2:24:35 PM

so unless something in a previous episode where they explained it, how about the mindfuck at the beginning of the episode where they incorporated the ending part of the intro to the placement of michael's best boss dundie. that was sweet.

4/30/2011 3:18:05 PM

^ thank you!... i thought it was awesome, but my wife acted like she didn't know what i was talking about

4/30/2011 3:20:35 PM

^ Yeah, I thought maybe I was missing something, but that was pretty awesome. Anyone catch that Michael's last words after taking off the mic were "that's what she said".

4/30/2011 3:20:55 PM

hahaha didn't catch that

4/30/2011 3:36:29 PM

yeah, I re-watched the trophy part a few times. slick.

4/30/2011 3:40:43 PM

^^^ my favorite part of the episode

[Edited on April 30, 2011 at 3:51 PM. Reason : and I, too, noticed the Dundie placement]

Whoa, look who the camera focuses on. And look at that death stare.

I know it's a little thing, but how the hell did Pam get through security?

At some airports if you have a good reason you can get through security without buying a ticket.

Alternatively, you just buy a ticket on Southwest for that day and then when you don't actually get on the plane you'll just have a credit for the ticket amount with them for a year.

4/30/2011 7:11:43 PM

I've been to the gate without a ticket before.

Oh, and I think Phyllis is Erin's mom:

http://www.hulu.com/watch/235368/the-office-goodbye-michael?c=1261:1294

I was already suspicious when Phyllis mentioned giving up a baby in high school, but then they made sure to mention Erin doesn't know who her mother is. And then that transition in the clip above sealed it.

4/30/2011 7:24:01 PM

^Interesting...I didn't make that connection. We'll see how that plays out.

4/30/2011 8:14:06 PM

I'm glad will ferral is on this show now. Hopefully everyone will realize how unfunny he is and he will stop acting.

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

Best two parts of the episode. The episode was full of amazing callbacks. I loved it.

4/30/2011 9:46:49 PM

That last episode was just really well done.

The Creed in the ladies room callback was the one that made me LOL the most ("I pay for this privilige"). I guess people criticized Pam in the airport thing but I think it ties their entire relationship together well. She always "dealt" with him throughout the years but she also always had a really soft spot for him.

(oh and Toby's brother? He HAD to be related to him IRL. Dude was spot on with more hair!)

This is what keeps me from thinking it was Gabe. I'm not sure how many kills a serial killer makes before he gets a catchy name like that unless it was his second kill and he left a note at the first one saying "call me the Scranton strangler". I want it to be Gabe so bad though.
