This Week on Blu-ray - September 7-13
Posted September 7, 2010 01:00 PM by Josh Dreuth
As soon as I received my Blu-ray copy of The Office: Season Six, I popped in disc one so that I could watch "Niagra" (aka "the wedding episode"). Even though I had seen it many times before, the episode is so encompassing of what makes The Office so great, that it serves – at least for me – as the perfect ending for the award-winning series. Of course, it's not the end, and the series marches on (even, reportedly, without star Steve Carell who plans depart after season seven), but I'm not sure writers will be able to replace the Jim/Pam drama with anything as engaging. The remainder of season six felt lazy in comparison to previous seasons, and they definitely have a lot to prove going into season seven.
