There’s a petition to supersize The Office series finale. I DON’T want to have to rent the damn DVD to see the full finale… so I signed it. I hope not to get junk mail.
Why are they still filming if the documentary is already available?
“Senator, were you always gay or did your wife make you gay?”
“I have a question for the beard.”
So they can make more seasons, I assume. Of course why they waited 10 years to even show the first season is pretty weird, but it’s just a show, so we should really just relax.
It would make an interesting epilogue to show later to see how the group reacted to the documentary.
Were they fuzzing the feathering on the tranquilizer darts?
“Just say arms and legs. That’s the vernacular I’m comfortable with.”
They are just making Pam come off so badly you start to root against her.
I actually thought Toby had the best line of the show
“Kelly totally called it. 2013”
on Jim and Pam’s demise.
And I agree with DigitalC, they are making Pam the bad guy. Jim was incredibly supportive when she ran off to art school. Now he is trying a dream of his and she is crapping on him at every chance.
You should head down to Santa Barbara. There’s a guy on State Street who just hangs out with a dog, cat, and rat on each other.
Ha! I meant to post about that dude. I haven’t seen him in years though. I think that he’s fairly transient and moves his schtick from city to city.
That’s a mouse, not a rat.
And I just realized that they referenced both Kelly and Ryan in this episode.
Wow - are you me?!? I had the same immediate thought!
What was the Ryan reference?
Jim’s meeting was with a baseball player named Ryan Howard and Pam mistakenly thought it was with the Ryan Howard who had worked with them.
That was last episode.
I thought it was a great show. Dwight was completely in-character. Stanley was hilarious. The ‘Dwight 2’ guy was awesome in his reactions. The press conference was sweet. The dog/cat/mouse act was great. Roseanne was funny. I loved Andy’s naivete (again, completely in-character).
I’m also irked by the Pam/Jim dynamic. I hope it’s false drama for the happy conclusion where the family moves to Philly. Pam is coming off as ridiculous that she won’t support Jim’s dreams.
And now she’s a liar too. She told Nellie that Jim took the job in Philadelphia without telling her. Except he did tell her. They had a long discussion about it where she agreed it would be OK to try. Jim did agree to work part-time on Athlead in Scranton without telling Pam, but I honestly can’t understand how anyone can justify her “no.” At that point, it wasn’t a job, it was a hobby. And making Pam be pissy about one of Jim’s hobbies would be borderline psycho.
Also, loved the blow dart and I was more surprised that it hadn’t happened before than that it happened at all.
Shit, you’re right. I watched them back to back.
That’s not how I remember it. They had a long discussion and Pam said ‘no.’ Jim went ahead anyway without telling her. And for a few episodes was actively hiding it from her. And Jim’s promises of it being only part-time and non-disruptive also didn’t pan out. And Toby’s point of this being all open-ended is dead-on. This isn’t a one time instances of didn’t get consensus first, it’s a constant and never-ending reminder of how this isn’t something she said yes to.
And it doesn’t matter whether Athlead is successful or not. If it succeeds, it doesn’t make Jim right and Pam wrong. If it fails it doesn’t make Pam right and Jim wrong. The end doesn’t justify the means. It’s wrong because of deception. Pam has good reason to be distrustful.
