kind of a meh episode for me last night. although i had to laugh at dwight and clark getting stanley out of the building after dwight shot him full of tranquilizer darts.
andy has gone overdrive on being a michael wannabe. but that last scene made me laugh - with roseanne of all people. so will andy end the show as a party clown?
and the senator finally came waaay out of the closet. it was too unrealistic for me, bringing out his new boyfriend and kissing him on camera. kevin's jubilance over his ability to keep a secret was funny. i hope oscar and angela team up to get sweet revenge on the senator.
and jim and pam. pffft. i am hating this story now! who's with me? i never thought i'd dislike pam this much. she was kvetching about how jim bought their house without telling her - wasn't she thrilled when he did it, though? she's acting as if he wants to move her to guam or something. and why is jim the bad guy in this?
i lost interest in pam and jim after they got married and now the two of them just make me grit my teeth a little. i think i will be relieved when the show is finally over. i miss michael too much.

my top 10 - #8 boys and girls this is the great ep where jan holds her women in the workplace seminar, forcing michael out of his favorite spot, the conference room. i love this one because it shows what a brat michael can be when he doesn't get his way. how he keeps lurking around, peering in the window, interrupting a clearly harassed jan. when she's telling him to get out they are like a strung out mother with an overactive, irritating six year old. but damn if she doesn't give pam some good advice. it's weird to see pam all meek and timid with her frizzy hair compared to her shrewish ways now. but it was a good episode to see how good jim would be for her, compared to roy, as he supported her on going back to school without even hearing the details. it's the first episode i remember where you see one of them break down, as pam did as she tried to talk herself out of her dream house. where was that boom mic guy for her then? michael taking the guys to the warehouse is the funniest part to me. he is so hopelessly inept, even more so than usual. i love how he can put darrell down, yet you can see how terrified he is of him at times. his awkwardness, his desperation to fit in - it's all so painful, but hilarious too, somehow. i LOVE how kelly was playing jan in their meeting. it was beautiful. but even better is when michael inadvertently gets the warehouse guys all psyched up about starting a union and jan's reaction to it. and then michael, cowering behind something while jan told the warehouse guys off. it is one of my favorite micheal/jan episodes out of many - really, any episode with the two of them is funny as hell.

Boys and Girls is awesome, and I can still remember exactly where I was when I saw Pam break down in that scene. I, too, miss the old Pam. She and Jim used to be so much fun, and now, ugh.
I did catch up on some episodes last night, and found myself digging them for the most part. I loved the one where Andy is unknowingly arguing with Nelly through Internet comments. It seemed like a gag they should have done years ago. Had a nice old school feel. Andy arguing with TexasPoonTappa was great.
Of course, it's still overreaching and silly sometimes. Dwight shooting Stanley with those darts was extremely funny, but I didn't get why Dwight thought that would be useful for the sales call. I mean, it ended up being fine, but still. It was an excuse to wrap Stanley in bubble wrap and push him down the stairs.
I'll have to work on my top episodes list again here in the near future.

i never thought it would happen - it reminded me of kenneth on 30 rock getting president of nbc before the series ended (i watch waay too much tv). last night was dwight's banner episode - getting his black belt AND manager? i loved how he was like a six year old with his sensi "bobby." i especially loved how, for the rest of the day, dwight walked around with his black belt on outside his suit. i thought for sure wallace would give the job to jim, but for once he decided to take a chance on the one employee who had the passion for the company no one else did, even wallace himself. but i think dwight has finally earned it. he's still spastic as ever, but he has grown over the years. he owns the building. he still owns his farm and is taking on added responsibility with his late aunt's farm. he's got a hottie for a gf and can even freely admit his feelings for not only jim, but pam as well. i have to say i am kind of relieved andy's saga has come to an end. i liked him better as a sweet goofball salesman. all the changes they have put his character through over the last couple of years really knocked him off balance and made him very unlikable at times. i got tired of his waffling and (to me) still acting like a michael scott wannabe last night. but his rendition of sarah mclachlan's i will remember you turned out to be quite touching. ed helms is really not bad on the guitar. it's unfortunate that the writers of this once great show has really made me actually hate jim and pam, but they have. i am so freaking sick of their story and i have gotten to where i just loathe pam. now that she got her way and jim is staying home, she is all cutesy again. it just pisses me off when i think of how encouraging jim was when she was going to school in new york. just because she wimped out and came home doesn't mean he has to. i'm hoping that when she overheard jim and darryl at the end that she will think of him for once and let him go - for three months? come on, pam! and for the love of god, will jim ever stand up for himself?? CLARK, the little snotty (but admittedly funny) temp bullied him out of his own desk! jim just stood there until pam gave him permission to take clark's desk. wow. man up, jim! though it was cool as hell when dwight ordered clark back to his desk, as his first act as manager. that was awesome. and jim accepting assistant TO the regional manager was nice. so was jim's sincere congratulations to dwight for getting the job (as well as his recommendation). the unexpected emotion from angela was rather jarring. it's kind of hard to feel sorry for her after all the mean things she's said and done to her co-workers, but i couldn't help but feel bad for her. what really shocked me was the drinking. she pulled a meredith! that seemed a little bit of a reach; i was sure angela was hitting rock bottom already. two sackfuls of her cats were taken away, after all. and it's clear she values them over her own child. it made me happy to see oscar take pity on her and step up to help. which was appropriate. but really - why is she struggling so? are we supposed to believe the senator just kicked her out with nothing, with their son? that seems a little hard to believe. but hell, make a spin off about oscar and angela, nbc! i'd watch that for sure. i predict: dwight will kick heidi out, rescue angela's cats and invite her, her son and the cats to live with him on the farm. she will reveal to him that he really is the father of their baby (i still can't let myself believe he isn't).

Angela and Oscar as roommates. That's not something I expected to see, that's for sure. But in the end it was probably the funniest part of the whole episode. I agree, spice, Jim and Pam have run their course, and Pam is screwing up big time. They have a chance to go and do something bigger than Dunder Mifflin and she wants to stay in Scranton with Dwight as the manager. No, it doesn't make sense to me.
I'm also glad we're through, hopefully, with Andy. The writers and Helms ended up aping Michael Scott just a little too much. Could have done without the guitar number, too, by that point.
Word is Steve Carell is not making an appearance in the finale. I'm not sure I buy that company line, but if he doesn't make some type of appearance, I think it would be a mistake. I liked he ending on the show as much as anybody, but he was too crucial not to get some kind of cameo in the last episode. Make it happen, people.

i wonder what carell thinks of the show now that he is no longer a part of it. i heard he definitely won't be coming back for the last one, but i was hoping it was just to throw everyone off. i can't imagine them wrapping it up without him. i have a feeling when it is all over and done with and the show is entirely in syndication, i will pass over the ones without him.

Episode 5 (Season 2) - Halloween
This is the first episode I remember watching from beginning to end and I tapped immediately into the juicy uncomfortableness of the show. The Michael character clicked with me immediately. I understood what they were going for with him. I know a lot of people never got into the show because of how Michael Scott was portrayed, but I welcomed it.
This was also a good first episode to take in because you get to know some of the supporting characters right off the bat. And Jim and Pam are still just ramping up the good parts of their relationship. These were the golden years, in my opinion.
Jim: Honestly, I don't think Michael has the slightest clue of who he's gonna fire. I think he keeps hoping that someone's going to volunteer. Uh, or be run over by a bus before the deadline. But in the end, really, what's going to happen is it's gonna be the first person to give him a dirty look in the hall. And therein lies the true essence of his charisma.
Michael: [clearing his throat and interrupting Jim's talking head] Can I speak to you a minute?
Jim: Um... yes.
Following these lines, Michael walks into his office while taking off his costume and Jim follows timidly behind, not sure of his fate. Pam sees him walking into Michael's office and then Dwight makes the "cut across the throat" sign at Pam. Pam looks at the closed door with extreme concern.
Still gets me.
Michael: Yeah, I went hunting once. Shot the deer in the leg, had to kill it with a shovel. Took about an hour. Why do you ask?
Classic one-liner talking head from Michael. And the scenes where he tries to fire someone, and then finally does, get more and more painful.
Michael: Devon, wait, please.
Devon: What!
Michael: Look, look. In addition to severance, and everything, I want to give you this gift certificate to Chili's. From me. Okay? No hard feelings.
Devon: [takes the gift certificate and tears it up] Kevin, Jim, Pam, Kelly, Toby, Oscar, Meredith, Phyllis, Stanley, or the temp. If any of you wanna meet me for a drink, I'm going to be at Poor Richard's. And the rest of you can go to hell!
For Devon being an unfamiliar character to me at the time (and, really, still is), I was surprised how effective this exchange was. I felt bad for him and Michael at the same time.
But I was really surprised by how bad I felt for Michael as the closing voiceover ran.
Michael: I love Halloween. You know, it's just, it's just fun. Every year, it's just fun. Last Halloween I came as Janet Jackson's boob. It was topical. People got a... a big kick out of it. The year before that, I came as Monica Lewinsky, and I wore a stained dress. The year before that, I also came as Monica Lewinsky. And before that, I was O.J. It was pretty funny. Oh, I wish you were here last year.
The above quote is intercut with shots of Michael picking up the torn-up gift certificate and brushing the smacked pumpkin off his car. And then the final scene:
Children: [ringing the doorbell of Michael's Condo] Trick or treat!
Michael: He... Hey, hey, hey, hey! How you doing? Wow! You guys looks great.
Kid: I'm a bumble bee.
Michael: You look great! And you're a princess?
Kid: A fairy princess.
Michael: A fairy princess. You're very...
Kid: I'm a lion.
Michael: You're a lion. [trying to to open a bag of candy] Wow, I want to hear your, your... Oh! [the bag tears open, spilling all the candy] Oh, okay, that's all yours. That's all yours. Grab it, grab it. You know what? You guys are getting all of these.
Michael is obviously torn about how everything went down at the office, but the trick-or-treaters put a smile on his face, and he likes being able to be their friend and maybe spoil them a bit with candy.
As this episode ended, I turned to a friend of mine who had seen a few more episodes than I had and asked him if the show always ended on such a poignant, melancholy note. I was surprised by the low-key emotional burn of it all.
The first complete episode I remember seeing, and the one that told me I was a fan.
Episode 7 (Season 2) - The Client
Ah, Jan. Seeing her early in the show reminds me how far these people came in the years we watched them. In this episode, Jan and Michael take a big-time client played by Tim Meadows out to lunch at Chili's to schmooze him for more business. The tension between Michael and Jan is delicious, and Meadows plays his role perfectly as the third party.
Jan: So when we get to the Radisson, I'd like to, um-
Michael: I changed it. To Chili's. Jan: Excuse me?
Michael: Radisson just gives out this vibe, "Oh, I'm doing business at the Radisson". It's kind of snooty. So.
Jan: You had no right to do that, Michael.
Michael: Here's the thing. Chili's is the new golf course. It's where business happens. Small Businessman Magazine.
Jan: It said that.
Michael: It will. I sent it in. Letter to the editor.
Jan: Alright. But you will let me run this meeting.
Michael: Uh huh, uh huh. [under his breath] Power trip.
Jan: What?
This is an exchange my friends and I sometimes still use. If we have a ridiculousl, questionable plan, we tend to say that Small Businessman Magazine will have a letter to the editor about it. It's just always stuck with me.
I loved how we see that Michael is not a complete idiot, as many viewers suspected. He is the branch manager for a reason, and in this case we see one of those reasons is that he was an excellent salesman. He and Meadows' character get along swimmingly, much to the chagrin of Jan. It kind of takes us by surprise, just like it does Jan.
Christian: Right down the street?
Michael: Uh huh, Kenneth Road, born and raised. Spent my whole life right here in Lackawanna County and I do not intend on movin'. I know this place. I know how many hospitals we have, I know how many schools we have. It's home, you know? I know the challenges this county's up against. Here's the thing about those discount suppliers. They don't care. They come in, they undercut everything, and they run us out of business, and then, once we're all gone, they jack up the prices.
Christian: I know.
Michael: It's bad.
Christian: It's terrible.
Michael: It, you know what, it really is.
Jan: Uh- [Michael signals for her to shh]
Christian: I don't know. I guess I could give you guys our business, but you have to meet me half way, ok, because they're expecting me to make cuts.
Michael: Well, corporate's gonna go ballistic, but, uh, you think we could Jan?
Jan's stunned look and smile as Michael wraps that series up is, and I hate this term, priceless. Michael has some game, and despite everything he does that actually made the view mad was tempered by his good-natured success. It was a great moment for Michael and the series.
Oh, and he hooks up with Jan. Of course, it's pretty much the beginning to a huge disaster, and in the end Jan rejects him, confusing the hell out of Michael and leaving him feeling lost. Later, Jim is to know that feeling.
And, of course, there's the Threat Level Midnight table read.
Dwight: If it isn't my old partner, Samuel L. Chang.
Ryan: Agent Michael Scarn, you lost some weight.
Dwight: Thank you for noticing. Now keep me company for one more mission.
[Pam gets up to talk to Roy]
Pam: Hey, uh, I have to work late.
Roy: [looks around conference room] You're joking right?
Jim: Michael Scarn takes out a nine-millimeter gun and shoots the-
Dwight: Pow! Pow! Pow!
Ryan: Hahaha, Agent Michael Scarn, you so funny. Word.
This is such great stuff I might as well quote the whole thing, but of course time is limited.
Then there's that bittersweet ending again. After Jim defends himself by saying "at least I didn't leave you at a hockey game" and makes Pam mad at him. Jim scuttles back to his desk, feeling down. He looks into Michael's office and sees him sitting there. Jim gives him a "I don't get it" kind of shrug, and Michael gives him one back, a moment of connectedness they may not normally experience.
This episode will always be one of my favorites.

great choices, mod. i love both episodes. that first halloween taught me to look forward to all future halloween eps - most of them, anyway. i think my favorite costume was creed as the joker. he was almost more convincing than ledger (imo).
it was the first episode i remember where the jim and pam thing showed it was more than just a flirtation - at least for me. pam only had good intentions when she suggested jim take the job they had wrangled for dwight, but when she saw how she'd hurt him, you thought - uh-oh, sh*t's getting real.
and michael having to fire someone was just a classic michael episode. any time he was forced to make a decision that would be unpopular is a favorite of mine. i loved how creed managed to talk michael out of firing him - i loved michael's reaction when dwight told him he could have left for another job and then broke down and admitted it was never offered to him.
seeing michael obviously upset after work made me feel so sorry for him, and that was the magic that made michael so endearing to the fans. just when you wanted to punch him, something would happen to hurt him and you just wanted to make him feel better. his scene with the trick or treaters was very cute, very sweet. you saw deep down, michael was a sweet guy who just almost always came off just the opposite.
and the client should be on everyone's favorite list. it was the prime example of how screwed up dundler mifflin was to take michael out of sales and put him in management. almost every time we saw michael in a sales situation he came off well. and he and jan were just too damned funny together. tim meadows was a great choice for their client. and of course that was the iconic episode where jan and michael first make out. you could see that look on her face in a split second - should i really be doing this?? before she made one bad decision - great for us, though.
but the funniest part is the reading of michael's threat level midnight script. i don't know why, but every line ryan read just cracked me up the most. and poor dwigt. that was painful.
i didn't realize that was the one where jim screwed up with his "at least i didn't leave you at a hockey game" line to pam. but hey, he had a point. pam's reaction just showed how unhappy she really was with roy. and yeah - jim and michael's "women, right?" look was precious.

and then there was ONE... it is going to be so strange not to have the office on anymore, no matter how much the show has changed. i know every thursday night for the foreseeable future i will automatically want to look for it. i still look for 30 rock. i won't go into my weekly rant about the pam/jim thing. they've wrapped it up, jim's dreams are dead (unless something happens next week) because pam is too needy to let him go for THREE lousy months, and they will spend their remaining years at dundler mifflin to make pam happy. pam wants it to be fun the way it was when she and jim were oh so painfully close to flirting - no moving on - just goofing off at dwight's expense until they retire. actually, that does sound pretty awesome. but the writer's just wrecked pb&j for me and i wish they hadn't. i guess i ranted after all. sorry. andy's story just felt like it was getting in the way. it just got too silly for me, even though i do like that chick who hung out with him - i don't know her name, but she used to be on best week ever and i've seen her on a few other shows and she's pretty funny. the big story, of course, was angela and dwight. i loved seeing angela and oscar living together, seemingly as parents for the baby. kevin's jealousy was funny at first, but one thing i will be relieved to see go with the office is how stupid they have made kevin. it's not even funny anymore. at least not to me. dwight's proposal to angela was PERFECT. it cracked me up to see him ruthlessly force her off the road - especially angela's reaction to it. angela dropped the F bomb!! i couldn't believe it. but oh, it was awesome. their relationship has been going on just as long and pam and jim's, and it made me happy to see them finally come together - with no contracts or sneaking around in the warehouse. i love it when dwight is happy. and of course, he finally learns the truth that he is the father of angela's son. we all KNEW he had to be, but it was a relief to finally hear it. the scene where dwight conducts his tests on baby phillip - watching him choose the beet over the check was so funny - and sweet. but kind of scary to think of dwight as a father. i just love the expression on his face! and did you see the pictures on the walls - my favorite was the one of dwight and mose in dwight's office. a friend of mine said dwight looked like a mormon prophet in the one in the conference room. the office's reactions to darryl was funny and odd - his character has been used more in the last several seasons, but still darryl has always been kind of a background character and i didn't know the others would react so strongly to his departure. i guess he didn't either. oh, check out jimmy fallon's show on tuesday, 5/7. john krasinki is on it and it's so cool to see him as a real person. jim is so low keyed and laid back - on this you get to see him lip sync to run-dmc. it was AWEsome. i'm looking forward to the 2 hour ender next week, especially seeing the actors discussing the show. and no matter what i feel about how the show has changed, last night's show was worth it for just this few seconds:

Yeah, say what you want about how things have gone for this show the last two or even three years, I'm suddenly getting very sentimental about the end of this show. I've been watching since early in the second season and have a ton of fond memories gathering with friends to catch up on episodes.
I remember one night, my co-worker buddy, who had just gotten married and didn't get out of the house much, called me and my brother up and asked if we wanted to watch the Office that night - he had just gotten a bunch of episodes downloaded off iTunes and said he'd bring his computer out. We said definitely. So about an hour later he shows up - with his entire Mac desktop machine (brand new at the time) complete with subwoofer. It took him three trips to the car to bring it all in. I figured he was bringing his laptop, but he took the time to bring the big guns. It was the first time I had seen The Dundies. Laughed so hard that night.
Dwight and Angela were, surprisingly, the best part of the this last episode. Dwight in charge has gone remarkably smoothly, but I'm liking how everyone kinda seems to have bought into it. He always has been a good salesman and he does love paper. And the proposal was great. Dwight's "get out!" talking to Angela on the side of the road just cracked me up. They are a sweet story, but I hope Oscar can come and visit to balance out their crazy parenting influences.
The Jim and Pam video was nice. I figured there would have to be something like this somewhere before the end, but I thought it more likely to see it during the retrospective. I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff, and so help me it was Jim and Pam that put the show over the top for awesome when I first started watching, so sometimes - like when the end is nigh - these misty moments really work.
And while I have been pretty hard on their relationship lately, I have to admit I thought about them in a different way after last episode. How many couples give up on their dreams to concentrate on a "mundane" life at a nine to five job and raise a family? Many, many do. It's both sad and inspirational. And actually quite realistic. They could both end up back on the dream path, but it would be interesting to leave Jim and Pam as a married couple who both gave up on something for the group and ended up not resenting the other for it, as many couples do.
Looking forward to Thursday. Sorta. Probably gonna be tough to watch.
Odds of a Michael Scott appearance? I say four to one.

my countdown - #7 the return this is the one where michael is driven to ask dwight to return to the office after he realizes how much he did there - and because andy, still new, is driving him batsh*t insane. it also is oscar's return - when he is acknowledged from this point on as gay oscar, basically. and we see angela try to reach out to oscar by inviting him to join the party planning committee, which he agrees to do to pacify her. angela, of course, feels terrible that dwight left because the favor he did for her. andy is brutally annoying in this ep - i was glad he didn't remain this way. and jim, restless to find an outlet for his pranks on dwight, has an almost medical need to put andy in his place. this is when i started to feel sorry for karen, which at the time i did not want to do, because she begins to see the closeness between pam and jim as they set out to prank andy. i love seeing michael in the position of being cooler than someone else - how he hides from andy - the awkward invitations from him and just andy's weird ass way of delivering responses. michael finds out dwight arranged his desk toys in a "pleasing manner," watered the plants and basically balanced the office much better than andy. it was great to see michael stand up to andy and actually be the one to tell him to shut UP because he was so annoying. seriously, if you are new in an office, do you really walk around singing about your plans for the evening and acting bored in front of the boss? poor andy is obviously as lonely as michael. but the look on michael's face before he snaps at andy is priceless. and of course, the scene where he asks dwight to return is oddly touching. "it takes a big man to admit his mistake. and i am that big man." i like that dwight told michael he didn't want to do his laundry anymore. and i loved how belligerently he ripped his work shirt off and threw it down before leaving with michael. and hey - that's the episode where shirley from community appears as dwight's co-worker he pisses off. the best part, of course, is when andy loses his cool and does this - every time i heard his stupid cell phone start after jim or pam called it, i cracked up, still to this day when i see it. we see andy's dark side, his temper he must always have been wrestling with. but it all ends well when dwight comes back, oscar politely steps aside so dwight can bask in the party he never really wanted and beat the pinata to death. it's also the episode when karen asks jim if he still has feelings for pam and he answers honestly. it was a painful scene - i didn't know who to feel sorry for more. favorite line: when ryan rudely turns jim down to prank andy and jim says, "i liked you better as a temp," and ryan stoically says, "me too."

countdown #6 business school definitely one of my favorites. michael, a guest speaker for one of ryan's classes at his business school, thinks it will be a pretty major deal - possibly with hundreds of students cheering and throwing their hats up in the air after michael's speech. ryan's nervousness is funny and understandable. i love how michael enters - playing classical music on a boom box he carries (which is what sounds like a motivational speaker tape), while nodding pompously at various students. his opening remarks are even better - tearing up that guy's school book, throwing candy bars at them, etc. it's wonderfully painful. back at the office, dwight discovers a bat in the ceiling. watching everyone run around like crazy is hilarious - particularly seeing angela just go flat on the floor. but jim using it as an opportunity to quite easily convince dwight he's turning into a vampire after supposedly being bitten by the bat. and of course we know pam is giving it another go with roy, but she is clearly more excited (as excited as pam could get back then) over her art show that is taking place that evening. you see her invite different people in the office, but did she invite jim? i always wondered that. if she invited kelly, surely she would tell jim about it. even if she didn't, i kept waiting for him to show up and it was weird that he didn't. ryan blows it by telling his classmates DM is doomed. he should have known that would come back to bite him on the ass, but it was worth seeing michael's tantrum over it. as silly as michael could be, you had to admire his commitment to his job. the scene with dwight, meredith and the bat is one of my favorite from the entire show. and it's painful to see pam with her pitiful little pictures at the art show, alone. even worse, when roy shows up and thinks it's pretty cool that none of the people from work showed up except for him. even worse than that, when she overhears oscar's partner, gil, calling her work "hotel art." ouch. but it was one of those eps where michael totally saves the day - even though he was furious with ryan and demoted him back to the annex with kelly (brilliant move), he shows up to see pam's art and is blown away by her talent. she is the only one who gets it, what they do, and he sees it in the picture she drew of their building. very sweet ending. but my favorite part of that one is when jim just seems to kind of appear behind dwight before he leaves - the way he pulls his collar up and says goodbye to dwight cracks me up every time.

Finale was definitely fitting. Loved seeing Michael again. I immediately knew where it was heading when Jim said he was too young to be Dwight's best man...but I got the biggest smile on my face when there Michael was, just standing there looking amazing.
Even worked in a "That's what she said." Couldn't have asked for more.
