“The Office” finale is on in approximately 3 hours and 28 minutes . Not that I’m counting or anything. I want to make some predictions, mostly because if I’m right I’ll get to say “I told you so”. And I so rarely get that kind of satisfaction in my everyday life. (If I’m wrong, this post will most likely be deleted at 10:01pm).
So…
- Andy’s leaving. Despite the fact that the episode is titled “Goodbye Toby”, I’m pretty sure he’ll be around to annoy Michael for years to come. The producers say someone’s leaving Dunder Mufflin tonight, and my money’s on Andy “Drew” Bernard. Why? We know there’s going to be an “Office” spin-off premiering this January after the Super Bowl, and in my opinion Andy’s the only character (other than the main 5) that could be a lead on his own show. I will be seriously depressed if anyone from the original Dunder Mifflin family leaves (remember- Andy’s the last survivor from the Stamford Branch). Plus, with the Nard Dog out of the way, perhaps we can hope for a Dwight/ Angela reunion?
- Jan is pregnant. With Hunter’sMichael’s baby. I lost count of how many vasectomies/ vasectomy reversals (is there a technical name for that?) Michael’s had, but I’m guessing the last one didn’t take. Despite the fact that this seems a little too “May sweeps-ish” for my tastes, I actually think Michael being a father will help the character evolve a little bit. I don’t think I’m alone in expressing my growing weariness with Michael’s continued over-the-top antics. They were funny for the first three (ehhhh… two and a half?) seasons, but at some point he’s going to start becoming unlikable. So please executive producers, don’t make me hate Special Agent Michael Scarn.
- Jim will propose. To Pam. I’m not exactly sure when it’ll happen, but hopefully it won’t be in the last 30 seconds of the show, forcing us to wait until September for her answer. I don’t think the producers would stoop so low, but you never know (um, remember when Michael and Dwight drove into the lake? I know- I try not to either). But I’ve been very happy with the way their relationship has gone this season, so I’m delightfully optimistic.
