THE OFFICE: Secret Santa, Not-Secret Firings

Did anyone else discover this week’s Office episode, “mystery Santa”, borderline tedious? I don’t be deficient in to go off on a whiny deliver oneself of a tirade, but why did Michael just invert into an insane d*ck to go to thirty minutes? He’s always bumbling, stingy, and childish to various degrees, but latest night, he was just a expressly unlikable A-hole from the document the episode started through to the semi-portentous plot development (which I’ll circumvent to in a sec).
Michael’s testimonials — mispronouncing words five times, forgetting Russia still exists — felt Season One again, and coupled with his grumpy-over from “awkwardly selfish” to “inexplicably noisome human being”, it was the foremost Office episode in a while where I truly kept glancing at the clock, as even so I was sitting through a Friday spur meeting [sidenote: we don't in truth have meetings at BWE.tv, or luxuries "computers" or "W-2s"]
I initially attributed my task eye-rolling to being in a disconsolate mood after watching the Steelers’ already-nailed sarcophagus get lowered into the ground by way of the Browns earlier in the continuously, but I watched 30 Rock right after The area and it was frickin’ amazing — perhaps the best of the season, and identical of the best ever (“Did you lease this guy to come into my dressing dwell and keep punching me in the throat?”)
Anyway — I’m not posting this honest to whine, I’m posting it to review a potentially major plot point that was raised in the event’s third act, which I’ll talk in after the jump:
IS THIS THE termination OF DAVID WALLACE???
Amidst the Christmas d*ck-being, Michael learns from Wallace that Dunder-Mifflin has rest a buyer and the board hand down have no choice but to deliver up, spelling unambiguous doom for the comrades’s highest-paid executives. Michael reacts to the hearsay with doom of his own and on the double passes the info along to the officemates, who straight away panic and insist to get David on the phone tout de suite, which they do, via Michael’s gruesome ‘get him on the phone’ method (all things considered my favorite part of the matter).
David then clarifies via speakerphone that on the other hand the executives are in trouble and that the buyers would scantiness to keep distribution intact, especially the flock’s most profitable branch. This can no greater than mean one of two possible developments proper for the show:
1) Wallace and Co. require be replaced by a new management to oversee Michael, which will on the brink of assuredly lead to Charles-like controversy between Michael and his new basis-line oriented supervisor. Hopefully, whichever customer star they pick for the revitalized boss can stay for more than six episodes (I hypothesis it’s better than nothing, but having Amy Ryan and Idris Elba both meet up in, be awesome, then have to be written sneakily out of the show quickly was reasonably bluebally.)
2) The office will actually subject oneself to a major shakeup — relocation and/or firings — and Wallace was perfectly lightening the truth when put on the acne by the employees. This seems play a part go overboard less foreseeable, unless the producers in effect do want to make a unalterable “Coach Fox leaving Minnesota State quest of the NFL” caliber change in the responsibility continuum.
The common detail between these two events?
No more David Wallace.
You wouldn’t do that, division, would you? COULD you?? The is that you can’t! There has to be some selection — how about instead of Wallace they give someone the axe, like… I don’t know, Jim?
I demand updated this photo to reflect the nearing Wallace / Dunder-Mifflin fallout:
