I actually wouldn't mind seeing Dwight get the job. It did feel like there was a bit of a push there. Of course that could've just been for that episode and wasn't any type of foreshadowing or anything. One reason I like Dwight as boss is because, well...he's Dwight. But also, during that episode where he was boss, you got a couple tastes of that whole Jim-vs-Dwight thing going on again. Like how Jim started messing with Dwight when they were blackmailing him. They need that element back. Those two have good chemistry when vying against each other like that.

I also felt the same way about Jim Carrey as you did. His character seemed like something he did just to be crazy cause he knew it was a one-off. I seriously don't see that being something that he could keep up for a long time. And even if he could, it would get annoying after a while.

I kinda liked James Spader. He was crazy but funny and also seemed real genius. He could make for a very interesting addition to the cast I think.

I agree on Darryl as well. Just doesn't seem cut out to be a boss, and he's such an underling type of character that it wouldn't feel right. For that same reason I don't like Andy as the boss either. He's just too timid and lacky-like to really lead the show as the boss.

Now, all that being said, I'm not even sure the writers of the show have made up their mind about who to be the boss. In fact, I'd almost be willing to bet that they haven't made the final decision and that's part of the reason they didn't announce it. Of course not announcing it does build hype for next season as speculation builds between now and then. But I think they're going to use this speculation to finally make their decision. They know this is a big turning point. There's a good possibility they're sitting back listening seeing what the fans think and use that to help make a decision.

fair enough, different stroke and what not.

I'm with you Megaton. I definitely think the US version is better. In fact, I even know several people from England that will flat out say that the US Office blows the UK Office away.
