Oh where has the office gone

1.0

What can I say about this season of the Office. There were some decent episodes and there were some awful ones. Which brings me to the big problem with this season, there were no great episodes (at least not any that i can recall.) The worst part is that this episode was the worst episode this season (right behind the clip show episode). I don't understand what happened to the writers this season, but they need to get their act together. What happened to the office and the brilliant humor that went along with it. What's with all the childish jokes, the dull story lines, and the pointless character add-ons. If season 7 turns out to be just as bad as this season, I can only hope that NBC will put the office out of it's misery.moreless

I thought this seasons finale was decent. But nothing spectacular happened, it was just like another episode

Although it didn't have as many laughs, it was still fun to watch Michael Scott and his boss trying to discover who leaked to the press that some of the printers they were selling were catching on fire. Most people suspect Andy, but it was pretty interesting that the leak could have came from Pam, Darryl or Kelly. I, also, thought Ryan's joke of developing a one-in-all social networking website called woof for $12.99/month was pretty funny.

Although, I was pretty disappointed in Andy because Pam, Darryl and Kelly all told the truth to Michael about being potential leaks, but Andy straight faced lied on his (living) parents grave. The others did it by accident, but Andy was the only one who directly emailed the press (with video). He never came forward until the IT guy ratted him out. I understand why he was concerned about the safety of the customers but he should been a man and told the truth about his connection to the leak. On the other hand, he most likely would have lost his job if he did. And Andy is one of my favorite characters on the show, so in a small way I am also kind of glad he didn't.

But overall, I really enjoyed the episode for what it was and looking forward to where the writers are going with this Holly thing.moreless

Worst Season Finale in the history of television, I want my 30 minutes back.

Way to go Office, I hope NBC cancels you after this abysmal attempt. So I watched this episode giving the Office my last chance at allowing them to make something funny or at least something creative, and we get an episode were everyone is mildly upset with Andy for messing with the press about the faulty printers. There are absolutely no funny scenes, Michael, Jim, and Dwight don't say anything amusing, and yet they somehow are unable to make any of the scenes serious. The entire episode is flat, and I really hate to see this show go out like this, but if this is the trend they continue to follow, I hope it does.moreless

Awful.

1.0

By Canogaparkcindy, Oct 10, 2010

What was that? Probably the worst season finale I have ever watched. Usually finales that don't have a cliffhanger tie up all loose ends, and it really just ties a bow on the whole season. This episode left me annoyed. Can you call this a finale? Really?

Was anyone really paying attention with the printer crisis Sabre was having? I noticed a lot of filler scenes, basically just to keep the time go by. None of the characters really found out about who snitched, and you'd think that the possibility of Holly coming back would excite me. But in this case, it felt like the writers were asking themselves, "Hmm what are we missing? Oh yeah a cliffhanger!" "I can't think of anything" "Just say Holly might come back, that will leave them hanging" Wow, worst Office episode ever and probably the worst finale in the history of television.moreless

Whistleblower

1.0

By thefanof, Oct 01, 2010

When you think about shows that have big season finales, that go all out to make this a huge deal, do you think of The Office? Probably not. Who even remembers what happened in the Season 1 finale? Season 3 was decent with the beginning of Pam and Jim, but then next year you had Andy proposing to Angela during that dumb story arc.

Tonight's episode took the cake though. A half hour of television completely devoid of laughs and one that the crew should be ashamed of.

Is a potential Holly return something any of his really care about? Doubt it.moreless
