Live "Office" finale thoughts!

7:29 - B.J. Novak has a haircut!

7:32 - Haha, "How you can do that to another dude."

7:31 - On the DVD commentaries, it was indicated that they would have a new opening for season 3 - guess not. LAME.

7:34 - Ed Helms! I wonder if Jim's new job will stick, or it'll be like the 1/2 episode where Elliot worked at a different hospital on "Scrubs." Hey, Rashida Jones. It probably won't stick.

7:37 - Oh man, gorillas! Giant ones! And a Jeep of some kind! This episode has taken a weird turn.

7:40 - Poor Roy.

7:41 - Jell-O callback? HELL YES.

7:44 - This is surprisingly tense and mean-spirited compared to season 2. Oh hey, it's that stupid Audrey Hepburn commercial. Phew, I needed that break.

7:48 - HOLY CRAP. PROFESSOR LASKY ON A HYUNDAI COMMERCIAL. That guy's everywhere.

7:50 - "Sounds great."

7:52 - I don't know how bad we're really supposed to feel for Michael here - I'm down with the "Michael's not that bad" school of thought, but he mos def had it coming. I just don't know what to think!

7:55 - "Or he said." Predictable? More like predictalicious. These hip new NBC bumpers are really, uh, something. They're no CW, man.

7:58 - Well, the fans who hoped that this would be 30 minutes of Jim and Pam humping are disappointed. I am not.

Mega-Huge Veronica Mars season 3 spoiler!

No, not really.

But Patrick Fabian, who played Kelly's hunky Professor Lasky on "Saved By the Bell: The College Years" is in the first episode as...Veronica's hunky criminology professor (you know, because so many first semester freshmen take criminology classes). Whether or not his casting is at least partly Rob Thomas tongue-in-cheekiness, the kind that casts Laura San Giacomo as a love interest for Keith Mars, who knows.

The second episode has another cool professor cameo, a cast member of one of the biggest shows in TV history. Who wants to guess?
