Oh Boy

The penultimate episode of The Office had Jim and Pam about to go off and get married, and then decide against it. It was already a mistake to get them together--marriage would have been the final nail in that coffin, so it's just as well.

The finale had what was supposed to be a surprise, but I saw it coming--Pam is pregnant. This is a bigger JTS moment than marriage. Maybe it's time to end the show.

Well that's a little harsh. It doesn't have to jump the shark with the baby story line, depends on how they play it and I really can't see "very special episodes" in the show's future. A grumpy pregnant Pam at the Office seems promising.

My theory-Jim and Pam will be probably go wacky next year and fight and maybe the other normals, Oscar and David Wallace (though he's just becoming pathetic & ineffective as CEO), will get strange too. The show has a way of taking the "normal" characters and have them spin off into weirdness- Ryan (As intern), Jan, Toby.

On the other hand, Rashida Jones stayed pretty much normal throughout her entire run and has continued as a normal character on "Parks and Recreation" (so normal that I can't recall her character's name is either show). I guess if you're the cool pretty girl, you don't have to be funny.
