The Office posts have been noticeably absent from this blog, mainly because I haven't been that impressed with season three (I've found many episodes a bit formulaic, and what's with going on multi-month stretches without new episodes??).
That being said, last week's episode was pretty good and clearly set the stage for the season finale this week. First, some background. Then some predictions.
Michael got called by the CFO to come interview for a job.
Jim and Karen are also interviewing for the same job.
Here's what I think is going to happen:
Michael isn't really being considered for the job, but was invited to interview to keep up appearances. Before he gets too far into the interview, he'll down the position out of a sense of honor and loyalty to the Scranton Branch (despite the fact it was never going to be offered to him in the first place).
Jim will really be offered the job. He won't take it though, because he wants to see what will happen with Pam.
Karen, by default, will get the job. Jim, being the good guy he is, won't tell her he was offered it first. Ta-da. Karen is out of the picture, we're even more endeared toward Jim and we get to wait until next season to find out what happens with him and Pam.
Maybe it won't be that simple. They sure shocked everyone at the end of season two, although I can't imagine what they could do that would leave us hanging that much.
What are your predictions?

I think Pam is really one of the others, and no one has realized it yet. And that she knows how to get off the island but won't say because the Dharma Initiative stopped buying their paper from the Scranton Branch.
ReplyDeleteJust a hunch.
Wrong show Matt. Wrong show.
ReplyDeleteI think we're going to find out the job they're interviewing for was formerly occupied by Jan Eagleman. Karen will get the job (why else would we even care that she's interviewing?). And Jim and Pam still won't get together; or they will get together but they'll find out they don't work so well together and Jim will yell something like "WE WERE ON A BREAK" and it'll be Friends all over again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment James...James who? James from school?
ReplyDeletedo you know that many jameses? yes, james from school.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to make sure. I mean, what if it was a different James? That would mean my blog's readership would have risen by, like, 33% and would warrant a special "welcome" or something like that.
ReplyDeleteYour predictions were pretty good. About like mine. But that bit with Ryan in the end definitely was a nice twist. The writers kept us guessing.
ReplyDeletePeter - Yeah, I liked that twist with Ryan. Definitely unexpected. However, I found it kind of hard to swallow considering Ryan still hasn't made a sale. But I guess they could have brought in someone with an MBA and no sales experience to fill the position.
