The Office Finale
asdsfkdlg;jdjgvkfdl;gvdndnkfdflnsdja;l OMGOMGOMG!!!
I have no words. I honestly am just...wow. This was probably my favorite episode of the season and the best of the hourlongs but yet it was a hell of a roller coaster on my emotions. I was just high throughout most of the 2/3, laughing hysterically, grinning madly, bouncing around and totally in love with my show the way it was meant to be. And then it just totally switched gears into sadness in that very Office way that kills me. And now I'm kind of stunned and feel...weird. And emotionally tired. But amazed.
First off, a whole episode based on Michael hating Toby and celebrating his exit was pretty much made for me. It was hilarious. But then they add in the layer of a new HR representative who Michael actually likes. And I was worried she was just being nice to him in order to get him not to hate her and do well at the office. But now she might actually like him and that makes me so happy :) I adore Michael and I really want him to be happy. And this whole episode had so much Michael love in it from him dancing, to trying to take it slow, to singing, to being excited about a kid...it basically turned me into adorable mush. I loved Jim helping him as well, that always makes me like him more. I loved how he was forced to put aside his hate for a greater purpose, love. And then he was forced to put away his love for a chance at a kid. And watching Halloween yesterday reminded me of how great Michael was with kids and what a wonderful dad he'd be with another good influence.
And then there's Jan. I don't know what to think. She seems more sane but I think it's horrible that she be with Michael but not really want to have a kid with him, but would have one with some nameless person. It really burst my bubble of love for this episode. At the same time, I don't think it's totally out of left field and it does work with the story. It breaks my heart for Michael and makes me depressed for what could have been with them. We'll see what happens next year.
Dwight was amazing with the hazing storyline. It was so him. And Mose! It was great to see him as well as Gene and Lee. And my heart broke even more when Andy proposed (which you know, really was so him) and his look :( God, it hurt. But them having sex was an awesome end! Nice to see Jim and Pam not have the spotlight for once and it was a good full circle from Fun Run and reminded me of The Negotiation. It was a very abrupt end though.
Jim and Pam...they're still super cute. I loved the opening with Pam getting into art school. SO AWESOME. I'm so proud of her. I also loved Jim fighting for the company even though it seems it's more because he wants to be where Pam is and he still hasn't faced what he really wants to do. I am glad the proposal didn't go through and I like Pam being worried because of Roy. What I don't like was the totally random mentions of Toby. Cuteness I get but I hope to god they don't just put them together. I just did not like how they interupted the singing, it was way too cut off and felt off. Poor Jim though, bad timing there. It will be interesting to see what happens when Pam comes back to Dunder-Mifflin.
I LOVED Phyllis's plot with Angela which was a wonderful full circle from back in the beginning of S4. I loved seeing her do well, take down Angela and be in love with Bob Vance. The Kevin storyline with Holly was hilarious and cracked me up so much. Sadly, it's not so hard to believe. Oh, Kevin. I loved seeing all the gang together at the party from Meredith's rabies mention to Darryl playing music (like at the Office con!) to the Jim and Pam sweetness with all the fireworks.
Ryan! OMG such a great twist. I should have expected it but it was shocking. I particularly love how it was youtube. It broke my heart how sad Michael was about him :( I wish the season had more time to develop the storyline but what can you do. Kelly's reaction was hilarious, the prison thing was perfect. I also loved Oscar's hilarious explanation with the fraud and beard.
Basically I love this episode. I love this show. I don't know how I will do without it or how I ever doubted it. It will always be my favorite show of all *heats it to infinity*
I will wait anxiously and excitedly for your return, my beautiful, brilliant show.

I am somebody who has liked Toby in the past, but I don't so much anymore. Like you, I didn't care for the random mentions of him from Pam. I really can't handle another Jim/Pam related love triangle. Please. Let's not go down that road.
I really loved Michael with the new HR person too. I sort of felt guilty about it too. Like I was cheating on Michael/Jan. Jim helping him was pretty much one of the most priceless, awesome things ever.
Also, DWANGELA YEAH!
no subject
Yes exactly! I felt like I was cheating on them but then again the ship hasn't rung true for me in awhile so I may just like them both. We'll see.
YAY! They're so awesome.
no subject
I mean, a lot of people called the Jan-is-pregnant-omg thing a while ago. I expected that one. I also expected Angela to be having a steamy affair with Dwight behind Andy's back. But just... wow. The way it all unfolded was nuts.
I'm not sure what I think about it yet. But my first reaction is that I really enjoyed this episode. I am REALLY excited about next season's M/J, even if their situation isnt perfect. Because really, when have they ever done anything the normal way?
no subject
I'm glad I haven't been reading because I was surprised. But I loved how it all went down as well. And yeah, I loved the episode which was my one hope for the episode, to go out on a high note.
And very true. I just wish I could be completely happy with them and now I don't know if I ever will...can't always get what you want though.

What made me laugh the hardest was the payoff of Michael giving Toby his watch, and then the celebration alarm going off as he was leaving. It took me a second to put it together, and then I cracked up.
Great episode. I was hoping Jan's young assistant was the baby's father, but this works too. :)

I am so glad it wasn't! Ick. And it kind of confirms they didn't sleep together unless it before their no cheating agreement (or she lied but I tend to believe her).
Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure. But the way the scene came off with Pam's intercuts in the singing scene made it seem like they were going there to build up suspense with Jim and Pam and it didn't feel right to me. Like it was out of place.

I liked Holly too, she reminded me a bit of Karen when she was in Stamford (back when I liked her I mean xD).
I have a theory: now that Ryan's gone from DM, or at least I assume so, could Jim be replacing him? It's what I immediately thought when we saw the youtube scene. And then he could be in New York with Pam :) I'm sad he didn't have a chance to propose, that was a perfect moment! It was like in The client! (Or at least I think is The Client) with the fireworks and awww I want my personal Jim hahah
I cried for Dwight :( At least Angela still loves him, or maybe she wanted some action xD
And Phyllis was great xD
no subject
Heh yeah I can kind of see that although in a different way. I just loved that she was good at her job and was so nice to Michael. Makes me so happy.
It's possible! First I thought maybe Jan would come back but I think that's a ways off especially with the baby. So maybe Jim, who knows. I definitely look forward to seeing what they do next season. It did remind me of The Client with the fireworks! I think they should wait before they propose though.
I had no idea how sad I'd be for him but it was like the nail in the coffin and he looked so torn up but still admitted it was his own fault. I think it's both! She totally misses him and doesn't really want Andy. I *heart* Phyllis.

BTW, off-topic but I watched the first three episodes of X-1999 on youtube last night, and I'm hooked... when you come up here we should watch it together!
no subject
YAY!! Definitely. It's an amazing show.

I thought my love for this show had cooled (to affection), but apparently, it's STILL RIGHT HERE.
I am all capslocky!
SQUEE! That is all.
