I am a sucker for any "will they or won't they" storyline. Jim and Pam got me hooked on this show back when it was good, so I'm staying to see Erin and the cute guy get together.
I don't know what to think about the sudden reveal of the documentary crew. But it seems obvious that if they've been following this office for almost 10 years they would develop personal feelings for the people there. Jim is being a major jerk.

I thought the fight was very realistic, but Pam's cry-acting left a lot to be desired. That's all I got.  |

I thought she was crying the way you would in front of other people, when you're trying your best not to cry. It was neat finally seeing the crew.
I'm really liking this season, probably just because anything's better than the past two seasons. Yikes. I've said before that Jim and Pam were Bob Vance and Phyllis, just younger and filled with more unwarranted self-regard. Now that Jim is trying to actually exert himself, he's finding out that he's not really good at either of his jobs. He bought his way in to Athlead, he didn't earn it. Pam can't finish a mural in the warehouse or work an iPhone. The show hasn't had many of the characters actually face up to their own mediocrity (they're mostly oblivious to it). I don't think they'll have Pam and Jim split up but I could see Jim's new business failing and they have to resign themselves to boring Scranton lives forever. Bob and Phyllis.
I'm not sure why the English woman with the mole is on the show. She ruins the Scrantonicity of it. The writers seem to give her a new personality or motivation for every single episode and she's seldom done anything on the show that couldn't have been accomplished by the established cast. Is the actress famous for something? Is there some reason she's been shoehorned into this?

Catherine Tate is very famous in England. She had her own sketch comedy show for several years that was very popular. I've only seen her in this Comic Relief sketch[/color] with Daniel Craig. I think people who are familiar with her agree that she's being wasted. |

So let's talk Brian! I don't know how I feel about this whole storyline. On one hand, it seems very rushed and contrived, and on the other hand, it is nice to see Pam and Jim actually have something to do. They have been so boring since getting together.
I cannot believe that I am saying this, but I thought that Dwight and Angela were very sweet in this ep.

I'm with the show until the bitter end but it's been hard going. I was such a Jim&Pam fan but I can't stand watching them now. Last night's episode was pretty horrible on that front. Best line was Clark's "Are you both high?"

Best line was Clark's "Are you both high?" Last season was so horrible that I'm enjoying this one a lot by comparison. I laughed when nobody cared for more than 2 seconds about Toby getting stabbed in the eye, and Andy screaming as he rinsed his eyes. |

I am sticking it out until the bitter end too and the season has been pretty good except for Jim because a douchebag and Andy becoming insufferable. Andy's entire storyline sucks and I wish they would have had his storyline end after he sailed away to the Bahamas.

Anybody watch the finale? I laughed when Creed was giving his emotional speech at the end, as he's being arrested.
There was too big a turnaround for Angela. I get that she's happy for a change, but I still would have liked to see prickly, judgmental Angela being happy. She suddenly became too touchy-feely.
I did like Dwight calling Pam his "best friend." I liked Stanley showing some love for Phyllis (but where was Bob Vance?)
Steve Carrell has aged. A lot.
Jim and Pam moving to Austin was too much of a leap. I would have gone for Pam surprising Jim with brochures for a house in Philly (with a terrace).

I'm glad they didn't mention or show any clips of Robert California. That was really the low point of the show. Most of the clips they showed were from the 1st-4th seasons.
