The Office Review: "PDA"

at .

Yup, it's love. There's love in the air. A point Michael and Holly were trying to drive home throughout "PDA." It wasn't my favorite episode of the year, but seeing my favorite couple together and happy made up for the less than plentiful amount of laughs.

All the smooching and crazy touching between Michael and Holly had its moments of hilarity, but none of it as good as the joking these two used to do during their courtship.

The Office PDA Alert!

That is not to say that Steve Carrell didn't continue to crack me up on his final run on the series. Between "whispering and tickling have their place in business" and his idea for making the closets in the offices into "hook up zones", he almost had me rolling on the floor.

The minor character that came to play was definitely Kevin.

After a slow start to the season, he's absolutely back to earlier season form as of late. Two weeks after his fantastic motivational speech/upchuck, Kevin was on fire with all of his stupid faces, feces hurling, shutting Oscar down for not wanting Michael and Holly to be together, and mentioning of every type of "honking."

And here is where the episode began to fall a bit flat.  Drunk Jim and Pam was working well. Causing a scene during the pda meeting was nice, as they made fun of themselves for seeming like they were married, but after that it fell apart. The two of them walking around the office looking for a place to have sex was not funny, and added nothing to the story.

The other story going on that generated roughly zero laughs was the adventure of Andy and Erin. Don't get me wrong, I love these two as a couple. It was extremely sweet to see them together having a good time, but I didn't laugh once while they looked for Gabe's Valentine's gift to Erin. If this is what it takes for Erin to drop Gabe and make him cry, then I'm fine with the lack of laughter for the time being.

As the series moves closer to Steve Carrell's departure, we may have a better idea about where we're heading. With Holly's decision to move in with Michael, it's looking more and more like they will end up leaving Scranton together. Personally, I would like it if they went to Nashua together. That way if Carrell wanted, he could come back for one or two episodes a year for guest appearances.

Unlikely I know, but like Kevin Malone says, "dream big!"
