I think that Michael dosn’t know that whole jim and ryan confrentation ever existed.

I think you were wrong about the 3rd deleted scene from “Did I Stutter”. Or rather, I think your initial interpretation that Toby was responsible for Jim’s probation was correct.
Toby’s inflection on “I know, but *RYAN* thinks that they’re not good enough” was the biggest clue that Toby put the idea of Jim’s productivity in Ryan’s head.
Plus his weasely “well as you know, Dwight has filed a LOT of complaints against you over the years”. And Jim’s, “But no one cared” reply was 100% accurate. No one ever cared, and Toby never filed them anywhere but the warehouse. I think Toby brought them up to Ryan, who was all too happy to have a reason to bag on Jim.
Keep up the good work, ladies. :)

I think the engagment is a macguffin. Pam won’t get engaged again, will she? I say they get married or they could pull a ‘Gilmore Girls’ and have Pam propose instead. I refuse to believe they’ll break up. I think they’ll still be going steady after the season finale.

I would love to hear performance reviews and your thoughts on the british version of the Office.

I never thought of Dwight going to college, but if he did I would imagine he took lots of classes in medievel history and mythology.

Ladies, thanks for putting this all together for us, week after week. You work really hard and it definitely shows.
My suggestion? Take a few writers at a time and devote a show to their work. You could also do the same for Randall-filmed vs non-Randall-filmed episodes. And you could also do the same for directors. I know you’ve done it before, but I think you only devoted one show to this concept. Now that we have another season’s worth of episodes, there’s probably a bit more material to work with.

I am getting a feeling of dread concerning a good outcome for any engagement bit tomorrow night.

I keep going back and forth, Craig. Part of me thinks, “They’re perfect for each other! How could this not happen?!” And then the other part of me has this feeling of impending doom. (DOOOOM!)
I think I need to tell myself that it’s going to end sadly and tragically - or even just left hanging. Defensive pessimism. And then if it ends all happy with bunnies and rainbows and rooftop picnics, I can just feel delighted and relieved!

I need to go back and check to see if this would even make sense, but when Pam was looking for her art hanging up, I thought it was a reference to in season 3 when she won an art contest and it was going to be hung up in a local school. Thoughts?
Also I was waiting the whole episode for something between Dwight and Angela! I thought it would be subtle but still maybe one of Angela’s hidden smiles or an accidental touch. But I agree it will come up in the finale.
I am so excited for the finale tonight!!! Who do you think is leaving?!?

oh ps my prediction for jim and pam is still that there will be a job opportunity in philly or new york that will wreck their future plans (aka engagement) i really cant see jim just proposing and that be the only jam event happening in the HOUR long finale

I really enjoyed the first 45 minutes of the hour finale, but it didn’t leave me as satisfied as I was hoping. Still very happy with how everything turned out, and can’t wait for some Office webisodes! Also, can’t wait for your analysis!

I liked most of the finale…and absolutely hated the rest. You can guess as to what.

I just ordered a sweet Dwight Schrute for President shirt from www.PantherTees.com. They have tons of stuff from The Office. They said not to tell anyone, but here is a 10% discount code, “pts10“ (it’s case sensitive, so copy and paste it). Enjoy!
