I think the idea is that she suffered enough. She also grew as a person throughout the show in ways that weren't in your face. Look at her interactions with oscar early, when he is outed, and towards the end.

I mean, Pam totally gets a pass for cheating on her fiancee, and Jim never really gets judged for blatantly hitting on and kissing a woman who's engaged. The show was pretty lax on its judgment for infidelity.

angela is easily the most unpleasant person in the office
she didn't deserve a happy ending and withholding dwight from fatherhood for so many years is super shitty

I mean Angela definitely did worse than Pam or Jim as far as that goes, but that's not the worst part of her or what makes her deserve to be unhappy. To me the more telling things she does are the examples of petty and pointless unkindness or cruelty, like at the dinner party where she agrees with jan to make it seem like there's something going on with pam and michael.

I don't think she ever actually cheated on him. Jim kissed her, but I think he was the one who initiated it.

They weren't criminals except for Creed and Dwright. What kind of bad ending did you want for her? You want her to go to prison or something? Albert cheated on Lily, but it doesn't mean he deserves to be robbed and beaten.

Yeah, I think they looked at it as a happy ending for Dwight more than anything.

Presumably if the horrible back door pilot for "The Farm" hadn't been... so horrible... then things would've gone much differently.

it kind of seemed like a sudden decision, made when the dwight spinoff show did not happen, with writers sort of bending over backwards for it

along with everything they did with andy that season

this is a weird post, dude, the framing of this topic is about whether or not she deserves a happy ending which I think most people would infer to be based on stuff like being a good person rather than being funnier than the rest of the cast or how much the audience likes her

maybe I'm assuming too much

There's a deleted scene where she confesses to her and Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration, pulling a hit and run on their honeymoon.

Nah thats one of the better late season episodes. The Farm was literally just a corny failed pilot with filler scenes interspersed so the footage wouldnt go to waste.

Angela learned her lesson by the end of the final season and she had already paid for her past behavior.

Her husband left her. She lost her home. And the man she loved (and real father of her child) was engaged to someone else. She even tried to counsel Andy with the lesson she'd learned: don't let pride ruin your whole life. It's not worth it.

She had suffered enough by the end of the show.


yet she was still willing to let pride ruin her life by refusing to accept dwight until she knew he wanted her for her, not for the boy and the family thing
so did she really learn her lesson?

I guess to me Angela just always seemed stuck in her season 1 demeanor where every one else kind of changes as a character as the show progresses

I mean she does change but a lot of the arc is just kind of shoved in at the end

like you know how the writers basically thought season 1 michael scott was way too mean and obnoxious without anything to make the audience like him

so they recalibrated it so that 10% of the time Michael does or says something that makes you sympathize with him or at least pity him and like 2% of the time he might even impress you

it feels like Angela just stays unpleasant and without redeeming qualities except her work ethic I guess
