Only You . . .
So surely you saw The Office season finale last night: "Casino Night." In case you wanted my thoughts, here they are:
I loved it when Pam winked at Jim when he mentally moved the coatrack. (I watched that scene twice.)
I think that Jan is crazy. Nuts. An overnight bag? To stay at Michael's? I knew her in college, I think, and she was psycho then even.
Jim's tear. That Mr. Krasinski is a really, really good actor. (Did you know that he went to high school with BJ Novak, aka "Ryan the temp"?) I want to try that. Am tempted to go tell a woman in my office that I am in love with her and try to get a tear like Jim. (However, all the ladies are married, so maybe that isn't such a great idea.)
And the "speech scene" and the "kiss scene"? Both were heightened by the lack of music. (Although I think in the British version the "Only You" playing in the background for Tim and Dawn was quite nice.)
Apparently Steve Carrell wrote the episode. Well, well done you 40 year old virgin. Thanks for giving us so much in the episode. I thought the speech was all we would get.
Is it weird that Pam called her mom? Shouldn't she have called a friend? I suppose her calling her mom was more significant. More telling of her feelings.
I apologize for not giving this show a fair shot when it first started. I heart it.
And special thank you to b-lo who gifted the episode to me via iTunes.

A well-timed fake tear or tears is a great talent to have. I'm proud to say that I can well up, chin a-quiverin', and be exceedingly convincing. It's yet another talent of mine that is not quite resume printable. Much like the beer can in the mouth.
Thanks for the bold point font mention. It made me feel as warm and fuzzy as I did watching The Office last night.
But am I the only one who is in love with Phyllis? Come on, she's so cute. I'm rooting for her and Bob Vance as much as Jim and Pam.
"Old friends! New lovers! And the disabled...Welcome all!"
I totally thought that Bob Vance's announcement was to propose to Phyllis. Turns out he was just giving the refrigerator prize to Creed. I'm a Phyllis lover, too.
I thought Bob was proposing too, but she seemed just as proud to have him giving away the grand prize.
What's with Creed saying he's never had a refrigerator? I loved how stunned Bob and Phyllis were.
I like how Phyllis is always giddy and wears a "full face" for parties. My one complaint - why wasn't Meredith loaded and running around topless? She should have been representin'!
There is a great scene with Meredith in the background drinking and trying to be part of the gambling, but she appears a little too drunk to make sense. I watched it twice and laughed both times.
Miss b-lo, about the refrigerator--remember when Creed said if he won he was going to gift his winnings to the local soup kitchen? And then he said that they have a great pea soup on Thursday? I think he eats some meals there. He is either just a strange, old man, or hurting for cash.
I saw Meredith, too. I wish she would've had some speaking lines.
I'm guessing strange AND hurting for cash. Remember last week when he identified the pot by its actual horticultural name? Is he a stoner or a genius? He's the kind of guy you have to be nice to at work as a defense mechanism because he's so scary.
G: And she likes it "blended, if possible." That killed me.
I need to try this urban legend - ambien.
