my predictions for this season: ryan as the new receptionist,(he has to do community services) and jan’s baby is gonna be black.

I think that Hunter could be the dad of Jan’s baby — and perhaps Pam’s replacement, too?

Headphone –

I understand, but I still think it was kind of rushed. It would have been easier if there was no strike and there was more time for buildup, but compare Ryan pre-”Night Out” to Ryan post-”Night Out” and it’s a DRASTIC change.

My opinion? Kevin is Jan’s baby daddy. Think about it, he has money problems so he probably went to donate and lied on the form.

OMG! I just watched Kristen’s Videos (Watch w/ Kristen -eonline) On one video clip she says that JAM stays in contact with the “world’s smallest Bluetooth.” The other clip says that there are 2 guys speaking about their engagements at Dunder Mifflin. One is Andy and the other is NOT Jim! I don’t know what to say…

“Toby is less of a threat [to JAM] than the price of gas”? Seriously?

Epinson-
I think the conflict with Jim is totally believable. He was insecure about his job and the website was not doing well(even before the fraud) and Ryan saw Jim going to Wallace as a threat to his position. That’s why he decided to get Jim fired.

i saw the hard partying and the ego mash-up with jim as further parody of the business school d-bag (no offense to any real business school people out there, i just mean that cliche type of guy)
i think it is also just another element of him getting in over his head. i feel like ryan thinks he is hot stuff, takes himself too seriously and is intense. i feel like that has been consistent throughout. with that in mind, all the developments this season seem reasonable to me. i mean, reasonable within a fictional comedy parody about people who work together :)

I know that Ryan was kind of a jerk this season, but I still love him! As fantastic as everyone else is, he’s always been my favorite character. I can’t wait to see what they do with him this season. Rehab, haha? And I sort of hope he keeps the half-beard. It was really cute.

I have to wonder what they meant about the altar involved in Andy and Angela….Hmmmm…

Honestly, I think Ryan’s big thing was not that he was above everyone else, but he was above where he currently was, and he was frustrated with it. It’s the situation where someone is right out of college, and they can’t do exactly what they want to do, because they don’t have enough real world experience.

His ideas at Corporate were actually very good ideas (on paper) that should have been put in long before he got there. Since when does a publicly traded company not have a working website? Also, blackberries ARE good for salesmen who travel to clients, and need to access information from the road. He just went overkill by having a social networking section on the website.

The reason why I said he did a 180 was because of the later developments of the season (the conflict with Jim and the drug problem). Both came out of nowhere, and didn’t seem like the real Ryan.

Wait, Toby’s returning? I don’t want Holly to leave!

Ryan was always a conceited jerk who thought he was above everyone in Scranton. He had a funny side. So his turn in season 4 wasn’t unrealistic it was inevitable when he was given that power in the company. He didn’t have the maturity or experience to handle it.

I’m glad Toby is back but what about Jim and Pam AHHH

Ooooohhhh… Tuna Tuna Tuna, you make a good point! What if the internship is the weekend only program that Jan introduced to Pam in Season 2. I’m not worried about JAM. They’re too good together and make for good TV.

I don’t think Ryan did a 180 last year at all. From the very beginning, Ryan was always a bit of a jerk who thought he was above it all and better than everyone else. He always treated Kelly poorly (okay, who could put up with her, but still). I think they planted the seeds (so to speak) of his downfall a long time in advance.

oh, i didn’t even pay attention to the internship thing cause i thought they were referring to her program at pratt. but yeah, i guess this is something different. i am not going to freak out about jim and pam, i didn’t get worked up at any point last season although i know a lot of people got worried every other episode! anyway it will all work out in the end.
so if it is an internship that means it is unpaid. i wonder if she is doing any part time receptionist work to pay her bills….hmmm….

Holly finds out “the hard way” that Kevin’s not special? I’m kinda worried about what that means… lol

also- thank GOD there’s a Halloween special. and thanks for asking about Merchant’s directing Tanster! Loved that bit of info :)

(also – now I have to make room on my work desk for a whole cast of bobbleheads… hmmmm I guess I could move my employee of the year mug.)

We need Todd Packer back! Any possibility that that’s who Jan’s donor will turn out to be?

If Pam is getting an internship, I wonder if it will cause her to stay longer in New York? I hope not cause the office wouldn’t be the same without Pam at reception and who knows how Jim would handle that.
