That's what happened with Skynet

“People will never be replaced by machines. In the end, life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to murder you in a lake.” Michael Scott; Dunder Mifflin


Did a computer try to kill Michael in a lake?


Yes and no. A couple weeks ago, Michael was upset with the new Dunder Mifflin website, and his beloved Sebring was in the shop. His rental car had a GPS system in it, which gave him some moderately confusing directions. To prove a point, Michael purposely drove the car straight into the lake...thereby making everybody believe that people are better than computers.


I see. So tonight is pretty bittersweet, isn't it?


Definitely. While we do get a new episode of Office (Jan sues Dunder Mifflin for wrongful termination, and Michael is deposed as a witness), it will be the final new episode for an indeterminate amount of time until this whole writer's strike thing is resolved. Too bad, too..because rumour has it, what would have been the next episode is one of the funniest ones ever...Jim and Pam have a dinner date with Michael and Jan at Michael's condo. Oh well. At least it's hockey season.
