And it's a long three months ...
Not an overly spectacular season finale to The Office, but a good one nonetheless. As far as comedy goes, it definitely paled in comparison to say 'The Carpet' or 'Dwight's Speech' ... but as far as being pivotal to the development of the Jim/Pam storyline it was monumental. The poor guy finally gets the nerve to tell her about his feelings, she rejects him, then confides in her mother and the whole thing ends with the two kissing.
Numerous ways to process this ...
- It's definitely a relief to see Jim do something about his feelings;
- However, the show now could lose part of its charm (not its comedy) by forever erasing the subtle, unspoken romantic tension between the two;
- The kiss, as we all saw, ended rather awkwardly ... was she pushing him away or was she gently touching him ... alas, we don't know;
- And if they do get together, how will this affect the show's comedic flow ... I mean much of the great jokes on the show stemmed from Jim and Pam conspiring to torment Dwight.
Still ... we learned Kevin is in a band and that Creed enjoys stealing.

Spoiler!! Nooooo!!
I haven't watched it yet. And this morning I had a minor freak-out that Tivo might not have recorded it in its entirety, since I remembered it was supposesd to be longer than 30 minutes. I'm too nervous to check.
i liked the episode, but have a feeling this is the point of no return...
she's got to say 'we can't do this' for any hope of the show to continue at its current level, which could be tough to match.
still haven't watched earl.
office is the best show on tv
