I wonder if this will be the last Office episode ever. I don’t think that there’s been word of a new season. The possible Dwight spin-off seems horrible. ---

According to Wikipedia “The Office” has been renewed for a ninth season. ---

Andy hired Nellie for special projects or whatever. Wallace payed Robert $1mil to go away. But what about Gabe? He works directly for Sabre not DM, so I was surprised he didn’t get a scene or two to either freak out about Sabre going under or get rehired directly by DM. I really don’t want Gabe to go away, he’s a funny character. Good riddance to Robert, though. Never much cared for that weirdo. Nellie bugs me (the character, not the actress, I quite liked her on Doctor Who), but hopefully if she really is sticking around they can work on that, now that the Nard Dog is back in power. ---

Wait…that was the season finale?! Wooooow. So if it was bad by normal episode standards, it was god-awful by season finale standards. It just got worse i retrospect, somehow. Also, I remember the days when people were like “The Office writers are too smart for that.” Heh, they proved that dead wrong, unfortunately. ---

I liked the episode as well. But I stopped watching it for plot a long time ago. I watch it for gags. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-office-5-10-12-free-family-portrait-studio/621604.md?page=1)
