      To be fair, in the fictional documentary, the camera person would have to have sat in the passenger seat and probably asked Lee to sit up front so that they could film Dawn opening the gift - but this also deliberately reinforces the lack of connection between them.

      I always think shows should end at the top, let it conclude naturally and don't keep finding ways to go on because that is when problems start. I love the US Office to bits but it should have ended way before Steve Carrell left the show - should have ended it when Dunder Mifflin went under in my opinion. That was a fitting end.

That's still escapism, because it's very rare that people are brave enough in real life to leave crappy relationships and take a chance at happiness.
      So the UK office gets to end on a happy nite but you wanted the US version to end with everyone losing their jobs? No Holly for Michael? I agree it went on too long, but season 5 was not the place to end it.

Tim didn’t ask Dawn, the resistance to leaving the party, the two songs that play, Tim accepts she’s gone, the secret Santa swap, the old drawing, Dawn in the backseat by herself, the pause before the kiss, the way she takes his hand, and the good guy David smiling at the end. Best ending ever.

    No one ever remembers a couple of heroes of this storyline: The TV crew themselves break the golden rule of documentary making and get involved in the drama, offering to fly Dawn to the reunion, clearly hoping that something might happen between her and Tim (they know what is really going on more than anyone), and "Jamie", and office worker played by Jamie Deeks, who swaps his secret Santa choice with Tim, without whom Dawn would never have received the paintbox which brought her back to the party.

That's why they made david Brent relatable whereas michael scott is unrealistically stupid. David always came across like he was half-intelligent and not unfunny when he wanted to be but kept shooting himself in the foot in front of the characters. David Brent felt like a real guy. Thats why the u.s show played up Jim's pranks so much to the point that dwight comes off stupid for not clocking them while tim pranking gareth always felt very real and believable.
