As for "The Office" I was really hoping that Pam would've just beat the crap out of Kelly, whether it was physically or in ping-pong, but I kind of saw the weak girl-game coming. Dwight & Mose at the end - I was sad it wasn't longer. But the lawsuit seemed a little forced, and yet, I wasn't really sure how to feel for Jan, but she threw Michael under the bus, as did everyone, and that sucked. He took it like a champ. I wonder when Jan gets a new job - what will she be doing? Gus - I like your "Michaeldom" revelation.

I just kept thinking this week's show had a tinge of sadness to it, and if need be it could function as an effective season finale, with Michael and Jan each trying their hardest not to figure out where to go from where they'd ended up, and with Michael's rationale for supporting the company here. About the only thing left unresolved to me (since it wasn't really touched on at all during the episode, and maybe this is because they were trying to rush the script to completion) was Jim's descent into "Michaeldom," which I think he began to realize during last week's tag. Also, there was no Creed last night, which at least to me, was devastating. The biggest problem of the night came during a commercial break, when we realized at our house that there would be no Christmas episode this year.
