Right, less than three months down the line and it's all over. It won't go down as a classic. It didn't have the storylines or humour to make it so, but enjoyable nonetheless.
I'm sure it's not a very popular opinion but S9 for me was possibly the best. It actually introduced storylines and drama. Pam and Jim finally had a fight. They introduced two new characters who were better than the outgoing pair, and everything was wrapped up nicely.
My issue with it was that the characters just weren't interesting enough. You can say they're not meant to be as it's a boring paper company office, but we're watching a comedy. Jim and Dwight's dynamic was good, and I actually liked how they became friends in the end. Michael was probably the weakest lead character I've seen in a show though. I wasn't really bothered when he went as it gave the show new life. Found Will Ferrell's stint very strange though. I thought he was going to be a permanent character, then he apparently got brain damage after walking back into the office.
Andy was quite shit too. When he was introduced and he had his anger problems and his issues with Dwight he was a good character worth watching, then he came back and was just irritating. Though when he fecked off the show got good. They even managed to make Erin a slightly interesting character.
Personally I think it'd have done better to have been shorter and wrapped up quicker. I was starting to wonder how they'd wrap it up, with it being a documentary, and Michael with his last line finally gave some indication when he asked "Will you guys let me know when this airs?" It'd got to the point when it was like they didn't know they were in a documentary any more.
I really liked them breaking the fourth wall in S9 though, I just felt that if they were going to introduce Brian and make a story out of him, finish the story. He just fizzled out which was weird.
They did finish it well though which is a real credit to them. I thought the ending to Friends was shit, Scrubs was okay and for some reason I'm blanking on other sitcoms I've watched.
Three great moments though: Jim professing his love to Pam, only for her to reject him; Jim realising Michael was leaving today and saying bye; and Jim telling Dwight that it's about love, and Dwight tearing up. The wedding was great too, of course so was the fire.
One thing that bothered me was BJ Novak's character. Why the hell was he in the opening credits? He was a temp who did feck all apart from go from temp to corporate with a phone call. Then got high, and came back as a pretentious temp. I actually thought that him and Kelly were going to come back, so it was a bit weird when they didn't. Though like I said, the new characters were far better anyway.
