THE FINAL REVIEW - In a special one-hour finale, the office is still buzzing from the events of their day at the beach. A job opening in Corporate pits coworker against coworker as Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell), Jim (John Krasinski) and Karen (Rashida Jones) all head to New York for final interviews. In Scranton, Dwight's (Rainn Wilson) new regime institutes sweeping reforms, Pam (Jenna Fischer) plays an interesting role, and Jan (Melora Hardin) comes in with exciting news. B.J. Novak, Ed Helms, Leslie David Baker, Kate Flannery, Angela Kinsey, Oscar Nunez, Phyllis Smith, Paul Lieberstein and Creed Bratton also star.

The last two episodes in my mind have been two of the best the US office has produced. In my mind Stanley stole the show last night, and I can't wait for the finale

I have to admit, I loved it when they were singing the Flintstones theme on the bus at the end of last nights episode, especially Michael's "WIIILMMMA" at the end.

Andy floating in the water made me laugh.

And Oscar - "Maybe I will try women."

"If Michael calls a group hug stand beside me"

My prediction is that Karen gets the corporate job and her and Jim break up because of it, and everyone is going too expect Jim to come running to Pam but he doesn’t

That Andy part was so funny..

"Angela! Help me, go ask tell someone!"
"What? I don't understand what you want me to do!"
"See what I'm doing here? Go tell someone!"

And then later all alone in the dark..

"Hello? My name is Andrew Bernard. Please help me."

The other part that I laughed hard at was when Merideth was talking about her suimsuit and flashed the camera.. So funny..

I had a good laugh at Dwight refusing to get off of the coals before Michael gave him the job and then subsequently rolling around in the coals on all fours.

Creed coming out with the fish bones and saying "No one told me there was hot dogs" was pretty funny too.

Kelly freaking because she was afraid she was going to run into "the big rock".

That episode was directed by Harold Ramis.

Good catch, they have had some talented guys directing it.. Ramis, Joss Weadon..

-Creed catching the fish, then eating it
-Andy down the river, and someone seeing him with the flashlight, then leaving him
-Angela's pure joy when Dwight is kicking ass
-Dwight naming his team Dumbuldor, and getting upset whenever anyone says Voldamor
-Michael's "Sandles" t-shirt
-The sing song on the bus.. pure hilarity, thats why this show shouldn't be only 20 minutes.. stuff like that, the randomness should always been in.

Best comedy is a long time.

Creed kills me. Where he just snaps that fish out. God damn!

Last week too: "He was just hanging some brain. If that's a crime, you better arrest me. I use the women's washroom for #2, and I have paid dearly for the privledge."

I loved when Stanley was pitted against Jim in the sumo wrestling thing, with his crazy ass grunt. The part where Michael tries to impersonate the Survivor competition explanation was also funny as hell.

I also enjoyed the Flinstones sing along.

The finale will definitely be interesting.

I also forgot to add the part where Toby gets shunned by Michael. I couldn't hold myself together when he walked out of the washroom with the Safari hat, and saying in the most monotone voice, "Hey, does anyone want SPF 30?"

When he asked Pam if she was gonna need any, and she responded by saying she really could because she had a two piece on, Toby's sound he made after that was freaking hilarious

Next year 4 of the episodes will be full hours. Great news! Who said comedies have to only be 30 minutes?

Remember that show Ed? Ed was hour-long.

Sounds like the ending is still up in the air....
The Office shoots two endings for season finale

Will Karen get the job at corporate, or won’t she? That all depends on what happens in actress Rashida Jones' life.

Jones, who plays the conniving Karen, shot a comedy pilot for Fox called The Rules for Starting Over, and she won’t know until late next week whether it has been picked up or not. If it is, Jones will leave The Office to fulfill her Rules contract. If it isn’t, she will stick around for another season to make Jim and Pam fans miserable.

So, Office producers shot two endings – one in which Karen leaves, and one in which she stays.

Ed was a guilty pleasure of mine. Thought it was a great under-rated show...it ventured a little too far into the cheddar from time to time though.

I still think the safety training episode was one of the funniest that I've seen in a while. Yesterday was good, lighter on the comedy and seemed to move the whole story along.

alan21 · 05-11-2007, 07:36 PM

What about the beginning with Michael's whole "chickenhead" speech. From that point on, I knew it was gonna be a great episode.

flames_1987 · 05-12-2007, 01:28 PM

37 office episodes next year. Great news for the show although it will be a definite test for the writting crew.

No trailers at least with clips of the finale are available, the producers don't want to show anything to give it away.

That was great, and you're right...as soon as he gave that talk you just knew that it was going to be a hilarious episode. Next week should be equally as amusing. I can't wait!
