I still don't understand why they decided to show The Injury out of order. It should have followed Christmas Party with The Booze Cruise and The Secret being the next two.

I wonder if it was Kevin's continuing descent into mental disability that drove Stacy away.

Yeah, there was still some gas in the tank in Season 5.

Yeah, I can't blame him for the sentiment, but I can for vocalizing it.

I'm with you on Season 3 stretching the soap opera a bit too far. Putting Pam back together with Roy only to end it with an outburst of violence sort of curdled my love for the show. I still liked it more than most shows, but that was where I began to see the sitcom skeleton peeking through. Season 2 is still the…

Yeah, without free food and drink I'd be catching a ride with Roy and Darryl to Poor Richard's. This was one of my biggest problems with the later seasons, the idea that these folks would spend so much time together outside of the office as if this was their only social life.

Along with a "your mom" joke.

Dwight as a ladies man was a bad move by the show. It just wasn't believable.

I thought her "It was nice meeting some of you." as they walked out was a nice touch.

Yeah, dumping her wasn't wrong. Doing it when you're trapped on a boat at a work event you invited her to is.

Her face when she sees Karen rub Jim's back in the parking lot in The Merger crushed me

"Now you ruined it."

The expressions of the other folks in the conference room during that kiss are priceless. They had no idea it was coming and it looks like it.

Yep, Scott's Tots was just too much for me. The Jim as co-manager plot in that one is the dumbest thing the show has ever written and combined with watching Michael end those kids dreams means I've never rewatched that episode.

Frankly, I thought she under-reacted to the idea of Michael dating her mother. The entire story was ridiculous given that Pam's mom must have known what Michael was like and so dating him was sort of betrayal. 

I agree that her clinging to Dunder Mifflin and Scranton in S9 was fairly off for the character. I could see her being somewhat reluctant, but not to the point she was about to trash their relationship. It really should have only taken a few episodes to resolve that and not the entire second half of the season.

I don't think they gave her too much confidence when she got together with Jim, but they did give it to her too quickly. The contrast between Pam at the end of S3 and the one we saw in S4 was a bit jarring. Watching her get trashed by the likes of Kevin or Michael early on was tough.

I loved Hot Girl. Michael's pathetic desire to attract Katy was far easier to take for me than the idiot boss in Basketball. The glimpse into Pam and Roy's relationship and Jim's ease at picking Katy up gave us a lot of background for the S2 storyline.

Yeah, watching S1 Michael for almost seven seasons would have been hard to take. He is easier to take in Hot Girl where we get the first glimpse of his desperation to find a girlfriend.

I found Erik's review of both episodes to be a bit off. The:
