I've really gotten into this show lately, and I'm trying to mass-watch all episodes before the S6 premiere. I had seen some eps before offhand, but never in order or watched it religiously. That is changing!

So I've watched a lot of eps in the last few days and I watched so fast I probably missed lots of little things, but here are some thoughts/comments/questions/etc, mostly about JAM but some other stuff too.

-Creed is my favorite character. So off the wall. "Creed Thoughts" on Microsoft Word is one of my favorite gags from the entire show. Also randomly selling underage IDs and talking about it like it's an everyday normal thing everyone does.

-Season 2, ep 1, the Dundies...Roy/Darryl leave, Pam fights with Roy and stays. (More assertive Pam already?) She then gets wasted and after getting the "whitest sneakers" award she kisses Jim on the lips. I wasn't expecting that, also no real followup to it as if nobody would talk about an engaged chick smooching a guy she always flirts with at work in front of the ENTIRE OFFICE? I thought that was an odd moment, I suppose they were going for her just being happy and drunk and cutting loose. I did like her trying to talk to Jim later and not saying anything because of the camera, good teaser for their relationship.

-Late in season 2 Jim complains Pam spends work time planning her wedding. I think this is the ep before the finale. I thought this was odd as well, because you'd think it would be an issue of real conflict but never was really developed. Also Jim didn't try to pass it off as a joke, he said he was frustrated talking to Toby one day...seemed out of character but the next ep their joking around at the start and all is good. I thought that was a bit strange.

-Season 2 finale final scenes were very well acted. Clearly she has to turn him down the first time, but I was expecting him to come in when she's on the phone with her mom, try to apologize and then have her kiss him, not vice versa. Because this way it's like "you already rejected me once but dammit I'm gonna force myself onto you" which is kind of weird, but it still came off well. Good cliffhanger stuff, glad I wasn't watching at the time and had to wait!

-Season 3 ep 1 has one of my favorite moments in the entire show when Jim puts Andy's stuff in jello and then sees he's not like Dwight as he freaks out. Classic Jim camera glances and Ed Helms is a RIOT. "I'm gonna lose my freakin' mind!"

-Season 3 at some point Pam is crying over stuff with Jim and DWIGHT comforts her. This surprised me but I really liked it as it showed Dwight is more a comic foil than a villain, is good at heart (even if he thinks she's just PMS-ing!), etc etc. I'll be interested to see how they balance Dwight's character between hero/villain the rest of the show's run.

-Season 3 "Cocktails" I was slightly surprised they showed Pam start to be more assertive here and smile at the camera when she tells the bartender her drink is wrong, etc. This attitude came kind of out of nowhere as hearing Oscar/Gil diss her art, you'd think, would crush her, not inspire her. Also wanting to get back with Roy was odd but I guess they were going for her trying to move on and be happy without Jim and trying REALLY hard, so having a fun night out brought back old memories, etc. It was actually kind of nice too as the whole show Roy/Pam seem so out of touch like you can't even picture them ever having been a couple, so you only really see that here.

-Some of the JAM interactions season 3 are so awkward and brilliant, the "you gotta get your sleep" talk is sooooo awkward its heartbreaking, well done.

-I love the reactions of Dwight/Michael when they throw the watermelon off the roof, it hits the trampoline, and breaks on Stanley's car. Just classic. Also Michael mentioning finding a hate crimes lawyer or something, LOL.

-S3's ending is nice but man feels crappy to miss what happens on their dinner date and never see that stuff and then skip ahead to them dating in S4E1. I don't like it when we get good moments stolen from us!

That's all I got. Can't wait to watch the rest of the eps and see the premiere!
