Finally watched “Niagara” tonight on the DVR, and I have to say I fear a little bit for the Office now because this would have been the perfect series finale and now I don’t think they can go up any further from here. To be honest, as much as I love the characters, I’d be fine if they wrote Jim & Pam out and let them just live happily ever after in smirking glance land, because their story arc has reached the conclusion it needed to. Plus it’s not like Andy and Dwight couldn’t carry this show on their own anyway.
Regardless, this was one of the most wonderful hours of television I have seen in a long time, although I haven’t seen the Youtube video in question and I really don’t want to now. I was also distracted by Pam’s sister being the Fellowship wacko from True Blood, but that was a minor complaint. Dwight kicking Isabelle in the face during their dance was worth the price of admission, and the whole wedding speech was the kind of wonderfully awkward trainwreck that this show has down to a science. And of course Michael had a whoopie cushion, just in case.
Just wow. 30 Rock has a big challenge topping this one.
