While it may have done a little too much fanservicing, it was fun to watch those people after all this time. <br /><br />I will say, though, considering we could follow right along with pretty much all the emotional beats, it seems the show sure didn't care much about any of the characters who were introduced after season six, right? I mean, Catherine Tate got a little something, but otherwise, the "new" people were up there on stage at the Q&A thing, but that's pretty much it.bristlesagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-75593999756175330152013-05-17T10:00:39.850-04:002013-05-17T10:00:39.850-04:00As I said previously, I've come back to the sh...As I said previously, I've come back to the show this season, and have been less harsh on it (perhaps because I had a break from it) than others. And I liked this episode, though it was less of an episode than a reunion special, which is an odd way to end a show. I think I'm going to think of last weeks episode (AARM) as the last episode, and this as something else - the TV movie after the show ended, or something. <br /><br />Poor Angela and Dwight - they must have a painting (by Pam?) of their kid in their attic which is aging, because Phillip looked the same a year ago (aka last week) as he did this week.<br /><br />I don't know what Greg Daniels looks like, but I assumed that the PBS execs were all real Officey people. I thought the inclusion of everyone in the group photo with the Real Cast getting annoyed was a funny way to do it, and not any more self-conscious than the whole "here is a reunion episode about a reunion in the show-within-a-show" and liked the story of a superfan who got to be in the finale also (from officetally.com) with an actual part, and not just a "stand here, you might get cut."sconstantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-79810817224781811202013-05-17T09:51:57.931-04:002013-05-17T09:51:57.931-04:00I liked that Pam gave in on the Athlead thing.

By the end of the penultimate episode, she realized that Athlead was very good for Jim, and then actually seeing the documentary made her realize that he was holding him back. <br /><br /><br />I spent the first part of the finale just really upset that Jim was still at Dunder-Mifflin. He might be happy with Pam, but had to be wearing him down.BarbL114noreply@blogger.com
