I hated that they decided that the cliffhanger/surprise was Pam being pregnant. Not only did it result in a bunch of terrible "Pam is having a baby" jokes the next season, but it also took her away from the office which was never a good idea,

I found Scot's Tots to be a real low point for the series and given that it came just a few weeks after such stinkers as Mafia and Koi Pond a real indication of the problems that would plague the show for the final 4 seasons.

Yeah, Jim's magical transfer to Scranton, Pam's inability to either phone or e-mail him while he's there and then six months of working together without ever circling back to Casino Night was too much. Nice ending, long slog to get there.

No, and Pam kissing anyone would have been out of character too. Pam only looked outside of her relationship when she was engaged to Roy and Jim and Roy are not the same character. Really, the function of the boommike guy would have been better served by Dwight as someone who provided Pam with some support during a…

There is no force in the universe that will make Season 8 seem good.

But Michael struggled because he viewed the office as his "family" and desperately sought their affection. This isn't a problem I could see Jim having.

How can they relate to each other?

That Brent movie sounds like just the worst sort of pandering/in it for the money ploy. I thought Gervais was above that sort of stunt.

I might say 4 seasons too long.

I always found the idea that Jim would turn into Michael to be fairly farfetched. Michael's dysfunction wasn't because he worked at Dunder Mifflin. His neediness is what made the office the strange place that it was. Trying to force Jim to suddenly be desperate for his employees affection while he was dating/marrying…

Yeah, given the structure of the show it just wasn't possible to show their marriage outside of work. I think they shot a total of four scenes inside their house during the entire series. Even the wedding and birth episodes felt out of place, as if the coworkers were shoved in there with no real purpose. This was true…

The three after that, Casual Friday, Cafe Disco and Company Picnic weren't too bad as well.

I thought for sure they were going to use her graphic design experience to expand Dunder Mifflin's services by offering custom logo design and instead, nothing.

I would agree with that.

I think the writer's strike in S4 made it seem uneven. I agree that S5 was good with some real questionable choices mixed in. S6-9 were definitely downgrades.

No, I'm pretty sure Pam fully intended that little shot especially after Karen basically said to her "Here secretary, do my work for me." with her request that Pam copy their sales records. Why would the receptionist be responsible for basically prepping their resumes?

"Jim Halpert. Pros: smart, cool, good-looking. Remind you of anybody you know? Cons: not a hard worker. I can spend all day on a project, and he will finish the same project in a half an hour. So that should tell you something."

Toby's little groan after walking away from reception is both creepy and hilarious. It's much like the sound I made when they didn't have Pam take off that damn tank top to show us the two piece.

Oh god, I'd forgotten the women drivers bit. The way he says it just slays me.
