Why would they mention it when they had already resolved it? I know people got oddly obsessed with the strangler storyline, but it really was just a goof they threw in a couple of times for laughs.

Nice come back. Do you start middle school next year?

Your superior attitude is certainly helping make you look intelligent. It goes along with commenting on a board about a show you claim to hate and barely watched. Dullard indeed.

Bob Vance and Phyllis actually kissed during Kevin's reading.

Creed had at most one line of nonsequitor dialog an episode. How that translates into being a momentum killer I have no idea.

Sure Pam could have done that, but nothing on the show indicated that was her concern and they went to some lengths to show that in fact Athlead was a huge success. You can't just invent reasons to justify Pam's behavior that have no basis in anything the show presented. The storyline was poorly written and left Pam…

There are no deleted scenes that say that Gabe is the strangler. There is an episode this season where Toby goes to talk to the strangler in prison because he thinks he's innocent and just gets strangled for his trouble.

I think if that had been the reason for Pam to deny him the job she would have come off even worse. I bought the insecurity angle, but thought it took too long for her to get over it. The idea that, nine months later, she would torpedo either this job opportunity or their marriage because of how he initiated it rather…

Meredith: "In my experience, guys are much more interested in the back of you."

I'm not sure Pam is in a position to judge how economically viable a sports marketing firm is going to be and every indication on the show was that the company was succeeding. The fact that they were on the verge of a buyout and she still refused to let Jim work there sort ruins the economic argument, especially since…

@avclub-043a5755513643c7f4a9cd35380ec33e:disqus  He made the decision to go to Athlead without telling her true, but after that she told him to go for it and then withdrew her support. That really undercut the argument that she was upset about him making the decision.

Because he wasn't?

You seem confused about criticizing aspects of the show with hating it completely. In fact, you seem confused about many things, like hating a show you never watched.

"Robert California: Success (much of S8 except the end)"

Well and the time he comforted her in S3 or when she helped him get Angela gift for Valentine's Day or about eight other times they showed they had a special bond.

You think the Friends finale was better than this? I'm surprised you didn't put the Lost finale on there.

Yeah, why couldn't she have continued her quest to be an artist before it was shoehorned in here in S9?

Gotta be S2.

There should have been far more turnover in that office than was shown. Some real stakes to being employed in a dying industry in a fading Northeastern industrial town during a terrible recession would have been nice, but probably not achievable given the demands of a network sitcom.

I found the ending to AARM pretty dissatisfying with it's portrayal of Jim just giving up on Athlead to show how much Pam means to him. The two things just weren't mutually exclusive and in fact her supporting him going on the tour would have been more resonant than the "hey just go back a year later and take up where…
