Ot: The Office finale, SPOLIERS

I am SO MAD. MAD MAD MAD. Ugh. MAD! There were funny parts, but the big thing I was hoping for didn't happen and even though I posted that this is a spoiler thread I can't bring myself to post it. Ugh. Now I kind of don't care what happens next year.

I will say Kevin was brilliant!!

I agree. Although there were lots of twists, it wasn't very funny. Kevin was great, the proposal and non proposal were predictable, the pregnancy was unpredicted, but not funny or even that interesting and the ending, well that was a cliff hanger. It was OK, but nothing to write home about.

So I was right in my guess about Andy and Angela...but I have to say I was disappointed....I agree it wasn't that funny and I really hate that Jim and Pam didn't get engaged. I saw the whole "Angela/Dwight" thing coming...but you just know that she will probably still say she is going to marry Andy!

I did think the Kevin thing was quite funny...but that was about it.

I thought the whole rapport between Kevin and the new HR girl was, frankly, comedic geneous! Dwight finally pulled of a very funny office prank!

I liked the episode, esp. the Kevin/HR business. "Anything in this row is 75 cents." I was laughing so hard.

busterleroy... what were you hoping to see? Maybe I'm missing something...

I wanted the Jim and Pam engagement. I know it is comedy show, and that is a mainly non-comedic story line, but it just seems to have been dragging on for so long. I loved seeing Jim push back again Ryan, was hoping to see him down on one knee for real.

Oh well.

Aside from the hilarious Kevin story line, I did think that Andy bringing his parents to his work party was funny, the whole Holly bit was good and I had been hoping for a Dwight/Angela reunion. BTW, great twist that Phyllis would be the one to catch them -Phyllis. Her newly-sworn enemy after taking on the party planning.

And Michael and Jan. Lots of comedic potential there, can you imagine Michael at Lamaze class?

So anyway, I am still mad but more just disappointed that that particular story line has dragged on the way it has. It really is the only show that I watch regularly and last night was the first time I felt like I might just become an occasional watcher.

Do you think Jim/Pam in New York (DH was thinking that now Ryan is in the pokey Jim will take his job to go with Pam?) is the spin off? If they do get married and stay on The Office, isn't that kind of the jump the shark moment? If they have their own show they can stay together?

I thought the Kevin storyline was a riot!! My oldest brother passed away earlier this year and he was the BIGGEST office fan ever - all I could think was that he would have loved that storyline - and I could picture him talking about it....

I thought it was funny that the new HR person was the one doing the politically incorrect things... And when Toby yelled out "DOES ANYONE HAVE A CAMERA" in that super loud voice so different from how he usually is... FUNNY!!

Did think it was lame that Jan said it was not Michael';s baby - think she might be lying....
