Wait, you mean you can't just park a random SUV anywhere around CIA headquarters?

While I enjoyed the finale (but agree that smoothed off all the rough edges of working at Dunder Mifflin), the statement that Ellie Kemper's Erin was "the most consistently enjoyable character of the The Office's fallow, post-Carell period." is completely nuts. Unless you enjoy poorly written "will they/won't they"…

Yeah, lots of folks like the final few episodes before Michael left, but I found Threat Level Midnight and Michael's Last Dundies to be completely out of character for the show. The idea that people like Roy would participate in the film or that they would learn a show tune to serenade him is just so over the top that…

"I fucking hate Steve Guttenberg!"

Early S2 Jim kept pushing the boundaries with Pam as if he couldn't help himself.

I think it was Jim's "but still romantic" that pushed her over the line from flirty to cutting him off.

"A chop is not a kick."

There's also one that is crucial to the entire Jim/Pam arc where Jim describes his best first date that ends with the him telling how she was engaged and so his best first date was also his worst first date. That it never aired, but most fans of the show remember it is amazing.

Although I don't really enjoy "Performance Review" that much for a S2 episode, it has a bunch of great lines and sight gags. Phyllis' recreation of Tom's suicide is one.

Fischer just kills it with her facial expression alone.

I loved Agent Michael Scarn and  then they went and crapped all over it by making Threat Level Midnight in Season 7. Karen and Pam's mom participating? Angela? WTF?

@sharculese:disqus  But is that enough to make up for that horrible scene at the dump in S6 or the dickish breakup scene at the bachelorette party from S8?

@avclub-43f6ba1dfda6b8106dc7cf1155f37fdb:disqus  I find Pam adorable in almost every scene up to Season 4, but you're right. Also the poker scene from Casino Night.

How does Jim not see him appear in the doorway?

I am always a little baffled at how Jim and Pam managed to gloss over their disagreement in Conflict Resolution so quickly in Casino Night. The idea that your "friend" complained about your planning your wedding at work is just a huge thing to sweep under the rug.

God, the Andy/Erin stuff was the worst and it went on for three seasons without a shred of chemistry between the two actors. Just brutal.

There were repeated scenes in S1-2 that demonstrated that Jim was madly in love with Pam and just barely holding it in. His decision to go to Australia rather than attend her wedding is just one of many. Or maybe the scene on the deck of the boat in Booze Cruise. His growing desperation through S2 that he get can't…

While Season 3 might have been more planned out, I found that a detriment rather than a benefit. Right around "Phyllis' Wedding" it became clear that the Jim/Pam story was going to be dragged out to the season's end for network purposes rather than real life reasons. Season 2 felt much more real to me.

In the real world there is no way Stamford would have been closed over Scranton regardless of what Josh did. Of course in that world Jim marries Karen and Pam ends up dying alone.

There was a lot of potential for the Sabre plotline, but they just completely blew it. Their lack of understanding of how a business works in the later seasons was crippling.
