1. After two seasons, that relationship has to move somewhere or that arc will stagnate, and that makes for bad TV.
2. I think the moment/the relationship, while awesome (for me), did not dominate this episode, which was very well-written and multi-layered as are most of the episodes (hence my love for the show). They could have made the whole episode about Pam & Jim and shippers would have LOOOVED it. But they didn’t. And that’s good.
3. I trust the writers to treat the material well, and I expect the Jim/Pam thing, however it may turn out, will be used as a foil for the Dwight/Angela thing.
Ok, you’ve gotten our attention; what are you referring to?
I KNOW. I was DYING. The kiss???? What will happen? Good bye Roy?
NO! BOO! I wrote about this already today. I’m all about some Jim Halpert, but I hate how much is focused on Jam!
See, I’m okay with it, and here’s why:
