re: Any chance of an Office reunion?

-Ryan and Kelly was a big loss because those characters had come into their own

Characters had run their course. Had closure in the previous season

-The best thing left on the show was the Jim and Dwight dynamic and you got rid of that in half the episodes with Jim in Philly

---

It was a final season and they were both moving on. Jim in Austin, Dwight as Regional Manager. Season was about closure for all the characters. Had to send them on their seperate paths.

-The Jim/Pam marriage stuff was crap, with sound guy's abruptly ending story making it worse.

---

Two finally came back to realizing what made them happy together. Their struggle wasn't as bad as people made it. They had an unplanned child, got married, had another child, started a business, and Pam realized she was not going to be a huge success in the art/business world. Lot of stress on a newly married couple and the show depicted that. Having them not figure it out and end up happy would have been an insult.

-Making Andy an a-hole for 80% of the season didn't help
-The sloppy episodes that jammed in the pilot of Dwight's spinoff that are pretty much ignored after they're done
-Trying to recreate an office romance with Pete and Erin except Pete was boring

---

All of these are the only knocks on the Season. Can't defend them, though the relationship wasn't terrible and I enjoyed the reappearance of stalker Gabe and Andy and Pete's conflict at times.

-A good finale doesn't make a good season, also why is Michael in the finale for 30 seconds?

It wasn't a good finale, it was a great finale. And the season stood alone as good even without it. Michael's involvement was the absolute right amount. He had his finale, which was great as well, and this was about the other characters. He had to be there though for something as important as Dwight's marriage.
