"Did I Stutter?" didn't do much for me as Michael embarassing himself is pretty much the theme of every episode, and having that as the central element of the episode doesn't leave room for much else. Not a terrible episode, and a few funny Creed moments as well as a somewhat poignant, dramatic ending with Michael asking Stanley to respect him. "Job Fair" was a good deal better, with Michael's comments about kids "being wary of lured" into his booth due to "Dateline". Jim's golf game was sort of fun as well.
I did enjoy the finale. I never loved Toby as a character but I suppose his exit is pretty much adequate. Andy's proposal to Angela is pretty shocking ("My parents are here!") and her acceptance ever moreso. Great little finish with Dwight and Angela having their affair the night of her engagement. It's too bad that Jim didn't propose to Pam, and I worry that it will have negative effects on the future of their relationship. I don't know how to feel about Jan's pregnancy, but hopefully that will play out well next season. The best part of the finale was guest star Amy Ryan, so unrecognizable from her recent Oscar-nominated turn in "Gone Baby Gone". She did an amazing job as Toby's replacement, making fun of him and flirting with Michael. I hope she gets an Emmy nomination and I hope she sticks around next season. What a great potential addition to the show. My one worry is - what next? Where does this lead us for next year? I'd like to hope for the best.
