is this the last season of the office
The course of true love is no smoother for The Office’s other soul mates, Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) and “major dork” Holly Flax (an Emmy-worthy Amy Ryan), the new HR rep. [1]
Always desperate to be in the know, Michael Scott spread a rumor about a colleague that he later regretted, and tried to cover up by spreading more untrue rumors. [2]
A Holly and Michael reunion finally happened! [3]
We saw less of the side characters: Oscar (Oscar Nunez) was gone for a while; Meredith (Kate Flannery) disappeared for a time after Michael (Steve Carell), in one of those big, loud moments, hit her with his car. [4]
Most season enders on The Office lead to pivotal moments for Jim and Pam. [3]
Jim offers to pay for fireworks. [4]
Pam: This is the last day of our summer interns. [...] Jim: You gotta figure this out. [2]
Dwight begins hazing Holly, as though being hired to work in Scranton were like rushing a state school frat. [4]
The writers continue their masterful handling of the Jim and Pam (Jenna Fischer) romance, taking care of some unfinished business from last season’s finale in the season opener with a glorious rain-swept gas station proposal. [1]
If you recall, Jim revealed that he’s in love with Pam and kissed her in season 2’s “Casino Night, asked her out on a real date in season 3’s “The Job” and almost popped the big question to her in season 4’s “Goodbye, Toby.” [3]
Season Five is not just another day at The Office, delivering break-ups, corporate shake-ups, and a game-changing finale that, as with Jim (John Krasinski), should leave you ecstatic and speechless. [1]
Maybe this will even resolve the competition between Dwight and Andy as he lets Andy pursue Erin -which actually brings me to my next point! [3]
We wanted Pam to dump her lame fianc? and be with Jim. [4]
For everyone who wonders how the blundering and tactless Michael keeps his job, it is instructive to get a glimpse of his sales acumen in the episodes “Heavy Competition,” in which Michael poaches one of Dwight’s clients, and “Broke,” in which he negotiates a buyout of his struggling company. [1]
