The Office 5x25 'Company Picnic:' Discuss & Grade(season finale)

[Samurai8472]

At the company picnic, Michael and Holly are reunited for the first time since their split. The rest of the staff competes in games, such as the volleyball tournament.

Season finale time and it's been a good season IMO.

 

[Captain Craig]

Tell me again why you would tell Michael Scott anything important. Such as the closing of a branch?

I actually liked seeing Michaels old rival Charles still hanging around. He makes a good foil.

Holly! Love her character.

Jim/Pam...jeez you think she's pregnant?

I voted the finale as GOOD. It just lacked that certain something(s) for me to push it into EXCELLENT territory.

But it's an excellent setup for Michael revealing David Wallace as the douche he is.

 

[Broccoli]

Kinda worthless episode. Nothing was really brought forth with the Holly/Michael story arc. Pam possibly being pregnant is pretty much "okay...so what?"

The Volleyball game was petty funny and I think Stanley had the best lines in the episode.

This season has been disappointing. It started out great, but nose dived big time.

According to Office Tally, there was a character appearing that we haven't seen since season 2. Who was it?

 

[Mr Light]

This should have been a double length episode showing more side characters. Where's Creed? I'm really not happy that Pam is pregnant. I'm so sick of sitcom pregnancies. I don't want to see any more pregnancies or touching birth scenes or cute baby scenes.

 

[CommodoreKong]

Tell me again why you would tell Michael Scott anything important. Such as the closing of a branch?

Because he is a branch manager and may be absorbing employees from the branch like he did last time?


Anyone see how many different branches there were? I only remember seeing 4 or 5 different colored shirt, one of which was corporate.

I have to agree with Mr Light, this episode really should of been an hour long.

 

[Samurai8472]

How appropriate, corporate was wearing black.

 

[SlyCardie]

I enjoyed it although I thought it was interesting that they put so much work into Michael and Holly again. I wonder if they are going to try to milk this along and then eventually get them back together?

They kind of wasted the chance at having Jim and Karen butt heads going down the line.

 

[TheBrew]

I loved all the Jim/Pam stuff. The actors were really, really great in selling me on the relationship and the reveal at the end was wonderfully done in pacing and in acting.

 

[Jono]

It wasn't a great joke but Dwight's horse doctor joke had me in stitches.

 

[Nobody]

They kind of wasted the chance at having Jim and Karen butt heads going down the line.

I figured that had to do with Rashida Jones being busy over on Parks and Rec to do an Office guest spot. Plus, earlier in the season they had revealed she was at peace with the whole incident and had married and had a kid on the way. So, really, as funny as it would've been, unnecessary for the character considering what happened earlier.

I loved Dwight's stalling: "How many people need to get hurt before another gets injured? 1? 2? 3? 4? 5?"


-nobody

 

[Docbrown777]

It was ok but if they are going to bring back Holly for an episode I wish they would try and move that relationship forward. Nothing really happened. booooooo

It was a terrible joke, but that's why I loved it.
