honestly, I loved the season 4 Ryan just as much as I loved Ryan from the previous seasons. It was very entertaining to see him think he was the hottest thing in the world, and I think it was in character for him. I always thought he would be the kind of person to let power go to his head.
I totally agree with number 36: Emily. Ryan has been treating Jim horribly. Anyone notice the bad treatment started after he found out about Jim and Pam dating? But I’m glad Jim was the bigger man and stood up for himself.
I can’t believe I have to wait 5 months before I find out what happens next! Andy’s proposal was upsetting, but not as upsetting as thinking that Pam might start to have negative feelings toward Jim, since she thought he was going to propose. It was good to see that Jim has a good backbone; he’s usually the nice guy who just lets things go, but I’m glad he stood up to Ryan. It all seems too obvious now that Ryan was double-counting sales. Toby can’t be going! On the other hand, I love the new HR woman. Finally, someone who would be good with Michael. Someone he can actually censor his inappropriate jokes around. Writers, my heart is torn, yet I’m happy/sad/anxious/blahblahblah. You guys rock!
Yep, I like the old Ryan better. His transformation in Season 4 was too strange and quick. If he’s gone, I hope he remains gone or else bring him back as the old Ryan.
FutureDwight, I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Ryan, there are a thousand ways they could return to the character, he could cut a deal with the DA as many white collar criminals do. But we haven’t seen the last of Ryan.
I was thinking you could *salvage* the Ryan character by having him get busted for drugs and go through some employer-sponsored Rehab stint. Not now, though. With Ryan leaving and Toby leaving, that pretty much leaves Mindy as the only writer/actor. Please don’t take away such classic lines as “Ryan used ME as an object” or her messed up “romance” with Darryl.
Not a big fan of what they did with Ryan in Season 4. He was much better as a quiet background character, who always displayed a nonchalant attitude. The Michael man-crush was one of the better bits on the show. Once Ryan got the promotion, it was all downhill for him. They messed up pretty good, since it is seemingly irreversible damage done.

OMG, I love it! When Ryan was being a d*ck to Jim on the phone earlier in the episode, I was so mad! This was sweet justice. What a little punk.
I seriously thought he would burn out from the drugs and get busted with that, though. This was a funny twist, as we all knew Ryan’s fate would not be a good one. Nice one. :)
OMG! I knew OfficeTally would have this. :)
Anyway, Doesn’t the guy filming it look a TEENY bit like Jack McBrayer from 30 Rock? It’s not him, but he kind of looks like him.
Hey, at number 27, you can see several other people filming Ryan getting arrested on cell phone cameras as it is happening. I would say that pretty much everybody would put it on youtube in 2008.
Mwahahahahaha!
47 | Benny Wed. May. 21, 2008 at 4:48pmThis was awesome. I despise Ryan. Serves him right. LOL
Maybe Ryan will rejoin Dunder-Mifflin through a work release program a la The Convict?
