The Office, Idris Elba’s final appearance
(Thursday, Apr. 23, 2009)
Suffice it to say, we’ve been lovin’ Dunder Mifflin way more since the five-weeks-ago addition of Stringer Bell — er, we mean, Charles Miner. (But in our hearts, Idris Elba will always be known as S.B. a la The Wire.) Elba is excellent at portraying no-nonsense characters from all walks of life, and Office-wise, he shook the shiz out of some feathers, particularly those of Michael Scott’s (Steve Carell). But unfortunately, the big boss man’s six-episode arc wraps up tonight — hmm, I wonder what happens in an episode cryptically titled “Broke” — and it’s time to bid adieu to our former drug pin/business-school grad (wait, wrong show again). Gosh, we do hope Michael is decent enough to throw a little goodbye fete for “the black George Clooney.” (NBC, 9PM ET/PT).
