The finale should start with Michael waking up in season 5 after a sugar crash and all the shit was a dream. Then we get a normal 1-2 hours of good The Office where Andy is still Director of Regional Sales and Nellie doesn't even exist.

Pam calls Jim from New York to say she's failing a course and has to stay in New York for another 12 weeks:

Jim: Well, okay...

Pam: That means another twelve weeks... Can we do another 3 months of this?

Jim, immediately: It's not about me. This is your dream. And... you went to New York to do this, so when you come back, you come back the right way, right?

I swear if this doesn't end up with Pam realizing that she's at fault, I'm going to retroactively hate every minute of this show. Nothing would piss me off more.

The difference is that Pam made sure Jim was okay with her going to NY, and Jim just went ahead and did it.

Yep, Pam would never leave her job to work at some crazy start up without running it past Jim first. Even if she did, she would make sure it was with an amazing boss who didn't drive cars into a river.

Pam didn't leave town to do that. And she certainly wasn't plotting to do it behind Jim's back.

Jim didn't "plot" about it. 9x01 He and Pam initially discussed it, they initially decided no, 9x02 he kept a line open to them and said he was still interested (with no time or money commitment at this stage), 9x03 he told Pam, 9x04 she was on-board (passively aggressively), 9x05 she agreed to invest money (passive-aggressively), then she lost her shit at him later on in 9x05 and has persistently been very negative about it since.

Isn't Jim looking for a new investor for the company? Im smelling Michael Scott saves the day on the finale.

My guess is he sells to David Wallace and uses the money to take control of Dunder Mifflin himself. He then runs the company from Scranton.

Meh.

Then fires Pam, Nellie, Creed, Darryl and Andy because they don't have actual real jobs

That is right. It is all well and good for her to say "I should have said my truth" to avoid the conflict but that doesn't resolve anything. At this stage Jim has expressed plenty of times that he is doing it to make a better life for the family and to make something of himself. She still hasn't come up with an alternative plan or justification besides "lol nope".

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Hahaha, the business card.

Andy going to ask for his job back all the way to David Wallace asking Dwight to come in was pretty great :lol

Creed, as amazing as always.

Awesome of Dwight to give Jim his seat back, and then offering Jim the assistant regional manager and Jim wanting assistant TO regional manager. Fantastic.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
I am enjoying this episode greatly. Get out of Jim's seat.

Good lord, they should have done this at the end of LAST season and then have had Dwight be the manager all of the final season. What a stupid screw up on their part.

Don't like seeing Jim back in the office with his old job. What was the point of all that drama then if they weren't working towards something better?

What was with the look Erin gave when Pam and Jim declined on the thursday date?
Click to expand...

I think it was just a bit of a "well sorry we are alive and not good enough to hang out with you guys" kind of look.

Very good episode overall. Always best when they focus on office interactions and each character can just do their thing.

The whole Philly thing at the end came a bit out of nowhere though. They could have foreshadowed it a big earlier throughout the episode.

After which it will be too late as Jim will have quit Athlead, he'll make a desperate attempt to get back in for some dramatic tension, but the company will have sold for a billion bucks without him. Crushed, Jim settles back into life at DM, looking like PB&J Are about to divorce, when all of a sudden Darryl, feeling bad, gives them a few million dollars for helping him get his start at a new career in philly.

Credits roll, everyone's happy. The end.

if they do this.. or something close to this... well, NBC, send me a PM. Apparently I can write sitcoms.

You know, I can't fault Pam after thinking about it.

When she went to new York, they didn't have kids. Having kids really changes everything, let alone two of them.

Tonights episode was the best in a long time. Good feels. Loved the Jim and Dwight moments
