‘When I Specifically Told You Not To??’ Amy Ryan Graces Tonight's Hour-Long OFFICE Finale!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
How tonight’s episode begins:
Dwight's inability to snatch Jim's earpiece is unconvincing but Jenna Fischer’s reading of “I’m confused” kills me.
Last season ended with Jan’s meltdown and intern Ryan promoted to Michael’s boss. Will Toby, at the last minute, be convinced to serve as Ryan’s replacement?
NBC describes the season finale:
4.14 "GOODBYE TOBY"
05/15/2008 (09:00PM – 10:00PM) (Thursday) : It’s Toby’s (Paul Lieberstein) goodbye party at Dunder Mifflin and Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell) demands a huge celebration that matches the joy in his heart. Angela (Angela Kinsey), sick of Michael’s unreasonable last minute demands, refuses, and Michael turns to Phyllis (Phyllis Smith) to take over the party planning committee. Meanwhile, Dwight (Rainn Wilson) and Meredith (Kate Flannery) haze the new HR woman, Holly (Oscar Nominee Amy Ryan).
* According to Wanda Two Saints over at E!, Andy will become embroiled in the party-planning power struggle between Angela and Phyllis.
* According to http://thescrumbrandon.com, Mose Shrute may turn up tonight.
* According to Mike Ausiello at TV Guide, Ryan is headed for a brush with the law.

Where Jim sends Dwight faxes from future-Dwight
-
Jim talking to Dwights mom is easily one of the highlights of the entire series if you ask me.
-
this season if Jenna Fisher did all of her scenes nude.

God DAMN I hate the internet.
-
...um, what was I talking about again? Oh yeah, I'd go after Jenna Fischer. What I mean is I would woo her. She is single now after all. She is so dang cute.
-
regarding Toby. Toby's a simpering, conniving, mealy-mouthed little worm. Looking forward to Ryan getting jacked and prison-raped. Great show.
-
is so great. They really captured lightening in a bottle. Even though Carell is the "star", the show would be nothing without, well hell everybody else.And I love Jenna Fisher, a terrific comedic actress. She was terrific in "Walk Hard" as well.I'm sure the other twelve people who paid money to see that movie would agree.
-
Just the scene with 'The Beeeatuls' is genius, and I wept. So so funny.
-
This one was good, not as good as making Dwight hit himself in the face with his phone. Remember, he put nickels in his phone a little at a time until Dwight got used to the weight. Then one day, he took the nickels out.
-
new photos of the Busted Tees ladies (especially red).Oh, I am now hooked on The Office. Never really watched till this season. Damn my friend.
-
Every comedic bit pushes off of sadness- and nothing has been funny-
-
safe, sitcom-funny isn't really funny... the best humor is the most bitingly realistic, which usually involves some amount of squirming. Humor is just tragedy seen through a different lens.
-
comedy out of sadness, awkwardness and despair is the hallark of the office, from the british version forward. This season has actually come the closest to matching the brilliance of the original, in my opinion.
-
I love this show, and the pranks that Jim plays on Dwight are some of the best parts of the show.
-
The time he put all of Dwight's stuff in the vending machine was a good one.
-
What's great about this prank is that it was talked about, not shown. But there are people who would swear they saw it.
-
Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
MICHAEL!!! -
A foil for the leads, but has so much endearing (yet brutish nerdom) qualities that he transcends just being the "butt of a prank." In fact, sometimes it is just mean to begin a prank without establishing a "Dwight is being a jerk" scene. (By the way, "I shall go to New Zealand and walk the trail to Mordor.")
-
If you want that, turn on Two and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory or Rules of Engagement

The time I really noticed Dwight was Burns-like was when Angela was encouraging him to replace their inept "commander", Michael. Very much a Frank/Margaret relationship. But Dwight has more good qualities than Frank did. Usually, Dwight is very loyal to Michael, ignoring the fact that it's really strange and creepy that he does. He stopped Roy's attack on Jim, he protected Angela when she was in trouble, he even comforted Pam when she was crying. He may have blamed it on her period, but it still counts."You try and hurt Mozart? You're gonna get a bullet in your head courtesy of Butch Cassidy."
-
dressing up as Jim in the same ep! He even did the "breaking the fouth wall" camera thingy that Jim tends to overuse. "Blah! Funny comment!"
-
where they make him go to the roof to wait for the chopper and then make him though his phone off the building because his mission was compromised.
-
Good call on that. But Office is better in that their Agenda is a lot more subtle, and the bad guys usually have some redeeming qualities. I put this paragraph break to call attention to the fact that I learned how to insert a paragraph break.And to those who think the show isn't any good, I say go watch "The Dinner Party" again. That's the best ep of the entire series.
-
those words alone = instant boner
-
Dwight's stuff in the bathroom was the best. "Jim, I've already given you this information twice."
-
HAHAHAHA!
-
"I think Jim is the REAL murderer."
-
It would be beyond awesome!
-
and it HAS to be URINE."
The image from the Drug Testing episode of Dwight as the sheriff leaning back in his chair with his hat and his big belly gets me every time. -
So isn't there supposed to be someone getting married and someone leaving the office? I'm guessing that it is a misdirection and based on last week's episode it is Dwight and Angela getting married and Pam leaving for art school
-
by far.
-
Jan has a little michael in the oven.. Just when he was catching a break.
-
Didn't see THAT coming. (That's what she said.)
-
he is going to get roped back into her. now i feel sorry for him.
-
Tear Pam and Jim apart.
-
The stuff with Kevin was just beyond comedy gold. Great finale.
-
I did not need to see that last scene. Good luck sleeping tonight, everyone.
-
I hope they continue to take the high road and keep Jim and Pam a happy normal couple, instead of going the cliche route of throwing trouble after trouble in their path. That never ends well for a sitcom.
-
I can't make up my mind how I feel about this one. Ryan finally went down, the Jan reveal elicited an out loud "Holy shit!" and the close with Dwight and Angela was great, but Michael and Jim both got the shaft and it pissed me off royally. I refuse to believe we've seen the last of Toby. Annnnd I'm rambling. Oh well.
-
I hear ya. I was annoyed too because they could've given michael a somewhat happy ending, but they brought Jan back in, they should've ended that storyline. But that Dwight and Angela scene made up for it.
-
Then it all went downhill from there. If the end was better, this seriously might have been the best episode ever. It had so many funny parts. Kevin being "special" was gold. Such crap that Jim didn't get to propose and that Michael wussed out going to dinner with the new HR chick. Seriously ruined the episode. The dwight and angela part made it a little better, but not by much. My least favorite season by far. Of course I'll watch next season though :)

-
I must watch that again when I have more time....
-
...oh wait, I forgot, I can't do that anymore
-
Ends in a fake out non-proposal. Yawn. A shame since as clock says above, the first 45 minutes was gold.
-
is having to skim over all the talkback posts regarding Jenna's breasts. With mildly annoying, it does warm my hear to know that 11 year olds are into a show as well written as The Office. Way to go, kids!
-
I just have a Kelly Kapour thing.
-
The best part of the episode was Dwight saying to the camera "You know, it's my own fault". It was touching and poetic. That is the first time, that I can remember, Wilson not playing it comedic at all. Even when he and Angela broke up Dwight's crying was kinda funny.I bet Toby takes Ryan's job. But what's going to happen to Ryan. Are they gonna write the character out of the show? Even though Novak is a big part of the writing staff? And Amy Ryan? She was adorable and fun tonight, but is a recently Oscar nominated actress really going to join a sitcom? Don't get me wrong, I think it would be a good choice, but unconventional.And was it me, or did the writers build up this incredible amount of tension throughout the entire episode? I mean it wasn't obvious that they were trying to do it, but by the end, my stomach was in knots. The tension in this episode put most Hollywood thrillers to shame.
-
I really enjoyed it.
-
that Toby will end up being wherever Pam goes off to School.
-
"Plus, she's really helpful."
-
Damn you Andy Bernard!
-
The bits were funny and I actually cared about what was happening with the characters. Retarded Kevin was one of the funniest bits ever, and Phyllis' expressions, particularly when she was asked to be the party planner were hysterical. You know the sadder parts (Michael back with Jan, and Jim not getting to propose) will be rectified at some point, so they didn't bother me that much. I just hope they don't wuss out on Jim's proposal and have something better planned down the line. He has it in his mind to do it really well, and I think it would go against the character if he didn't find a way to top the fireworks attempt.
-
I could give a crap about Jim and Pam now but Michael better ditch that crazypregnantJan for Amy Ryan's character. Anybody who returns your Yoda impression is a keeper!
-
I like the fact that this episode, while still making Michael a buffoon, made his desperate affection for the Amy Ryan character believable. All the moreso because she meshed well with Michael. Loved when he shorted himself in mid sentence "Thats what she s---". And mentally challenged Kevin was priceless. Loved the wave from the car as he headed to the store. Best Office season ender so far.
-
creepier, if filmed in night-vision, with Dwight and Angela's eyes glowing like wild animals at night, caught in the act.
-
any mention of it has disappeared.
-
NBC released their schedule for next year, a week or so back and it is on the schedule. I don't remember if it's scheduled for fall or as a mid-season replacement.
-
The ending, anyway. I hate the non-proposal cuz it's just a setup for strained relationship bullshit down the road. Michael missing the boat with Holly was just too much. I hope that isn't the end of it though. I like Amy Ryan and would like to see her stick around. I would've liked it if Michael realized she was basically asking him out, but after she and Kevin decided to go. The last scene could have been the most awkward date ever, with Kevin thinking Michale was the third wheel.On another note, I wish I had posted in another talkback my prediction that Toby's replacement would be someone Michael really likes, and that maybe she'd be kinda like him. I know it doesn't count cuz I didn't share it. But, long ago I predicted Dwight would save Jim from Roy's attack. I seem to have a knack for seeing where this show is gonna go...
-
For what it's worth, I'll take your word on the prediction, 'cause that would be a wierd thing to lie about.
-
Somehow that was worse than cheating on him. Wow. It's almost like she does this stuff on purpose. And this has got to be the third love triangle going on right now. Oh, well. Looks like we might get to see Andy explode again.
-
Somehow I've got this image of Michael pressing his chest up against the glass.
-
If Michael finds a woman who appreciates a Yoda impersonation and can do one herself, he should make a move. He should listen to Jim and try to take it slow.
-
would be great. A work release program back to a temp position at Dunder Mifflin would be even better. I also think the Andy bits are getting kind of stupid. He was so awesome in season three . . . but this season, he's become a kind of pathetic lackey for just about everyone on the show.
-
And if Michael was real, and I knew Michael, he would be getting a swift kick in the balls just to remind him that he has a pair. The whole Michael/Jan having a kid thing is beyond fucked-up. It's sorta funny, but way more troubling. I hope the series manages to drop that whole story line.
-
is obviously the point where Michael will redeem himself. David told off the british version of Todd Packer as his turning point, but I see Michael dumping Jan and ending up with Toby's replacement as the way he makes up for being such an ass. It was also interesting to note that Jim getting out of his funk and working towards helping Michael(and Michael taking the advice) that there is a chance Michael will become a Jim, instead of Jim becoming a Michael.
