The Whistleblower ~ Suri’s Recap
Monday, May 24th, 2010
Can you believe we’ve arrived at the season finale already? It seems like only yesterday we were anxiously awaiting the season premier; wondering how the news of Pam’s pregnancy would be revealed to the office. A lot has happened during this season including the JAM relationship coming full circle, as well as major changes to Dunder Mifflin as a company. Which leads us to wonder what story there may be left to tell of our friends in The Office? Sadly, the season finale left me underwhelmed. The episode itself was just ok, not stellar, but not a complete dud either. It just kind of ended with no major cliff hanger or twist that we’ve come to expect from a season finale. This worries me because rumors have been circulating about this coming season becoming the last for the American version of The Office. As a fan, I hate to see that happen; however I’d rather remember the show for the quality that we’ve come to know then have it continue at a sub-par level.
I will now step off my soap box and begin the recap:

Hello LITO-ites! Gosh, this season is flying by, isn’t it? I can’t believe “Body Language” is already the 21st episode of this season! Only three episodes left in season 6.
It’s been a while since we had a new episode, so I for one am excited to get some new material. You might be curious about what my impression of Secretary’s Day was. Well, I thought it was a pretty impressionable episode about impressions, for one thing. It seems I’m not the only one making corny jokes. Gabe got some real face time in this episode, bringing this minor character to the foreground for some down home corn and awkward situations. We also get a closer look at psyche of Erin, who has quickly risen up in the ranks from a pretty minor character to an integral part of the office. Even though we have seen glimpses into her psyche before, this Erin-centric episode shows us just how strange she really is.
Top o’ the Mornin’ to ya, LITO readers! Sure and begorra, it’s St. Patrick’s Day in Scranton. Michael comes into the office and gleefully grabs some green M&M’s from Erin’s festive reception desk. He exclaims, “Green M&M’s?! Nature’s viagra!” Everyone seems to be a good mood. The camera pans around the office to show that mostly all (except Angela) are smiling and a wearin’ o’ the green. Kelly and Ryan walk by, they’re arguing about going to a St. Patrick’s day party after work. Meredith, looking so pretty in her green dress, interupts them and tells them to stop fighting. She says, “Don’t fight today. There is just one perfect day a year. There’s no hassles, no problems, no kids.” Ryan questions her, “Why no kids?” Kelly chimes in, “Yeah, where are your kids?!” Meredith gets upset, “Nope! Nuh-uh! Not TODAY!” and she stalks away. I guess in the world of an alcoholic (Meredith), there is no greater day than St. Patrick’s Day, where drunken debauchery is not only accepted but is encouraged? The only question is…what did she do with her kids?!

Good evening fellow LITO-ites! As I prepare to write the recap for last night’s episode, “Murder” on this unlucky Friday the 13th my Jersey shore town is being deluged with tidal flooding and blown-away with gale force winds. Things are so bad here that they closed the local schools for the day! Crazy. Lucky for me, we live in a high-ground area of the city. Unlucky for me, my three young children are running around my house like looney-toons driving me up a wall. Oh well. Hopefully this Friday the 13th finds you all in a luckier situation than I am. Or if not, feel free to share your tale of woe in the comments section. Onto last nights episode, “Murder”.
