That would have been brilliant, though, because with a few exceptions life is normally realistic and open-ended.

Season 4. But as someone else has pointed out, Michael deliberately drove the car into the lake to prove a point about how technology was trying to kill him.

You should also see "Goodbye Michael"!

Easily the best part of the whole episode. It felt like something that had been ripped out of the AV Club comments.

Exactly!

Has his hair really greyed that much in just three years? I thought maybe they had powdered it.

It feels right that Toby wouldn't have a happy ending. Everyone else was being paired off in implausible ways (as Michael pointed out), and having him suddenly find love would have strained credulity.

Seconded. Seasons 2 & 3, please!

Absolutely he was. Deleted scenes, folks.

The 2000s just never end!

Within the last week "Ya Hey" has ascended into the pantheon of my all-time favorite songs.

I wonder if that was supposed to be another "Vertigo" reference.

I was just wondering the same thing. I figured Todd had just forgotten last week.

"He IS black!"

"Yes, I can see the horror here, but there’s also a certain appeal that is easier for me to see now than when I was a teenager."

Well, "The Office" is ending in less than a week. It's almost as if the World knew.

I nearly cried when I read this

in short, this event went wrong in just about every possible way
