I assume after this break of several years, this new season had a rested development.

I bet there was some wrangling over which character got to have the final say in the show (Pam is an obvious and good choice), and I bet there was at least one writer who was pulling for Creed to close the door on the show.

He deserves to eat a whole thing of candy beans.

"Mirror Image" has always stuck with me. And of course "The End" (still watch that at least once-a-year.)

I also totally saw "AARM" as being the series finale in a sense, and this was much more like the Christmas Special for the BBC version. I'm pretty sure this was by design.

Was he? I was actually looking for him in the backgrounds for some reason.

He was in the last scene. In spirit. He hung Pam's picture.

"The people of the future will watch this and remember a time when people on The Office wore crazy outfits and brought us all to the verge of laughter. That's right, and sometimes they made us all think, and that's when the ratings took a nosedive."

Apparently, Creed was in a band called The Grass Roots.

Are you wearing his eyebrows?

Perhaps Michael doesn't want to have much involvement with the doc.

Big choker of the night for me? Phyllis reminiscing about Stanley at the wedding interview.

"Your internet search history was so dirty, we had to throw the computer out."

Paddlefoot!

I'm guessing that after such a long hiatus, this new season had a rested development.

"My…"

I read the whole "Oops, that's the universe" bit when he unveiled what the Extremis does as a nod to David's walk through the holo-universe in Prometheus. Even though it probably wasn't.
