   I also couldn’t understand the hate for Scott’s Tots. Until I remembered the “Employee Of The Month” B-plot. That’s what wrecked that episode for me. Part of the “Jim becomes manager and turns dumb” story arc.

   I don’t understand the venom for Scott’s Tots; it was by no means the worst this season and shouldn’t be used as the barometer of bad. For the show as a whole, I think the best way to inject some urgency and cohesion is to give it a definite endpoint. Continuing without Steve would be catastrophic. This is my favorite show, but I really think next season will have to be its last if they don’t get it together.

   Because I think the show will continue even if Steve Carell was to leave, I hope they use Season 7 to really change things up. Maybe divide the sales team between printers and paper and bring in someone from Sabre to manage the printer team. That could provide a transition from Michael Scott to a new leader. Plus I’m praying they plan the plot lines out more thoroughly so that the resolution feels more earned. Too many times this season the stories (Jim as co-manager, Michael/Helene)just seemed to end without really exploring the consequences.

   I thought Scott’s Tots was really really funny.

   Well shucks, I loved the finale and it got such a low score! I thought it was a great season of a great show. Didn’t really like Mafia because it was typical clownish Michael/Andy/Dwight antics with nothing new in the mix, but even with that little negative jab, my family and I and my pals at work (we have Office Lunch Break every week and are about to start all over with Season 1!) all thought it was still a great year of the Office.

   I’ll be interested to see how the “Survivor” rankings compare to this list of rankings. My guess is that “Whistleblower” won’t rank so low.

   Tanster, when will “Survivor” for Season 6 begin?

   [from tanster: still working out the schedule, but it's probably 1st or 2nd week of june.]

   Jimmy:

   I don’t see how Dwight owning the building will be that exciting, can any interesting “conflict” over it really last?

   Sabre should be mad at themselves for building bad printers; who cares who leaked it (this plotline felt so anticlimactic).

   Finally, I don’t believe Amy Ryan will actually come back to the show for more than a cameo or two, so I don’t see the point in bringing her up. Last we saw, she was happy with her new boyfriend, so I’ll feel kind of bad if Jo makes her come back.

   Nothing really wowed me, and I’m sorry, that’s what a finale should do: tide you over until next season!

   Maybe I’m cynical, and I really hope I’m wrong, but I just don’t see the show like I used to and that makes me sad. Maybe the writers don’t read anything, but I think someone should pay attention to reviews/sentiments among the people that watch. They can do what they want, but I hope someone cares if the audience likes the show.

   I’m just expressing my opinion; I think it’s cool if you liked it and I hope you’re right that they did set things up.

   Alison:

   I don’t understand what you are confused about. Dwight’s trying to buy the building, Sabre is upset that someone revealed the printer problem to the press before they could fix it, and Michael wants Holly to come back. Pretty straight forward. They set some things up for next year.

   Also, I hate to break it to some of you, but writers don’t look to these sites for ideas. I know they appreciate the fans, but comment sections on sites like this aren’t usually taken very seriously.

   Whistleblower being the lowest fan-rated show of all-time aside from a clip show is absolutely absurd. Maybe it wasn’t a jaw-dropping finale, maybe didn’t have the same drive as previous finales, but as many stated it was a fine episode by itself. I felt that like Broke (while not saying it was up to that standard) it wasn’t the funniest episode, but it just had a good feel to it. I thought Whistleblower had more of the “natural” Office feel that most of the second half of Season 6 was missing. I gave it a 9. Just my own opinion.

    #113 I agree with you completely. The heart of this show is Jim and Pam. John and Jenna need to be put back in the mix of things to get this show back on track. It seems like the fandom has slipped since they have moved away from the original format.

    I really hope the writers see the fan reactions and take that into account going forward. I don’t think we’re asking for a half hour of JAM, but obviously there is some disconnect between the show and its fans.

    I really wish they could come out and say what they meant by the finale, because even my friends who are casual fans of the show say they didn’t get it. I would like to know what the writers meant to accomplish.

    Whistleblower wasn’t great, but it was certainly better than Mafia or Scott’s Tots, easily the worst episode they’ve ever made. Every episode doesn’t need a Jim/Pam story, but just a moment of them talking brightens the show every time.

    Shows how much I know… Whistleblower and Scott’s Tots were two of my favorite episodes. But Niagara was definitely the best.

    There have been many amazing episodes of The Office. The Whistleblower wasn’t one of them. Sorry.

    #101: I completely agree with you! The writers cannot please everyone. I think one day, when this shows completely over and we all go back and watch ALL the seasons back to back, we won’t notice one single bad episode. Because it will all be one BIG story with twists and turns, and ups and downs for each character.

    Tallyheads UNITE! We are talking about the greatest show ever. EVERY EPISODE RULES! Whistleblower on my first viewing was ok. 2ND VIEWING, was absolutely hysterical, and the plot was great! I missed so many lines the first time, but the second round, wow! Maybe cause I am not that bright and it takes me a couple times to get things,,,,,,,,,howeva, spermed lover, I sometimes run, I’m a runner, Defcon 5 means peace and problem is over and Michael messed that up, the IT guy, alchemy, suck it, woof, Andy’s face after Erin touched his leg, Kevin not knowing why Jo was there, HOLLY REFERENCE, I stayed up all lunch thinking of the situation, Michael STILL explaining to Pam what he tried to charade to her, MEREDITH’S ENTIRE VAN SCENE! Tallyheads you surely can’t be serious that Whistleblower wasn’t an amazing episode, and don’t call me whistleblower!!!!

    I rated Whistleblower because it just wasn’t very good, not because it didn’t feel like a finale or there was no JAM moments. I really felt like it was one of the weakest episodes produced in the whole series.

    Wow I’m shocked! I can’t believe it scored that low.

    “Whistleblower” was nowhere near that bad, and I have a sneaking suspicion “Niagara”/”Delivery” rated so high purely because they’re JAM episodes, not because they were particularly funny or clever.

    Anyway, I think if people really went back and watched, say, “Mafia”, and then “Whistleblower” back to back, they’d see they gave it such low ratings out of disappointment, not because it really deserved it. “Whistleblower” was a solid episode, especially given how weak S6 was altogether.

    Office fandom, I am disappointed.

    Maybe The Whistleblower is a referendum on Season 6 as a whole. Maybe not. Probably should be somewhere around the middle. At least it beat the clip show.
