Wow, I can't believe this review said so little about the Oscar/Angela plot, which was for me the highlight of the episode.  The Jan story was a cute touch, a nice bit of closure and amusing reunion of the Jan/Dwight comedy team.  But the emotional meat of the story to me was the Oscar/Angela plot.  It developed well,…

Say what you will about the final season, this episode is one of the show's all time best.  Granted, I'm a huge Paulie Walnuts fan, ever since he stole the coffee pot thing from Starbucks in season one.  But still, this episode is brilliant.  The callbacks to earlier seasons, the way it seamlessly tells a crucial…

Agreed, though of course the show hints that they DON'T maintain their ships all that well.  Isn't their introduction (either here or in the pilot) via a character who notes that the oncoming ship doesn't have a "radiation containment system" or some such thing?  I.e., they are doing without something sane pilots and…

Wow, one thousand comments already?  Well, this is probably buried in them already, but here goes:

Yes, those were insanely sweet offices.  I'm going to assume the show's producers, set designers, etc. have never looked at a real government office.  Even in DC, let alone a small town with a small budget.
