I finally got around to watching The Office season finale. This is the first season I've watched The Office regularly, and I'm very impressed. The finale wasn't fantastic - there weren't any dramatic Jim/Pam revelations and things are basically back to where they were a couple episodes earlier. But the way Ryan said his last lines was great, and next season has definite potential. I love the Dwight/Andy dynamic, Creed is amazing, and I'd like to see how they continue to handle Jim/Karen (I'm also glad they made Karen a likeable character from the beginning).
As far as the season as a whole, I'm convinced that sometimes The Office is a better drama than actual dramas. Lost is wildly uneven, my interest in Prison Break has dropped dramatically, and I didn't even bother finishing this season of 24. "Grief Counseling" and "Business School" had some genuinely moving moments that none of the other shows I watch are able to replicate.
