Swing low, sweet chariots.”

Without a doubt, my all time favorite Creed quote.

Jim chose Pam because it has always been Pam, for him, all along." This strikes me as exactly right. He never cared as much for Karen as he did for Pam. As he told Michael in "Benihana Christmas" (in an ellipitical way), she was a rebound girl while he thought about the one who broke his heart. For me the telling detail that doomed Karen was that he never told her about him and Pam! If she really was the one they would have discussed that even before moving back to Scranton. Karen tried to hold onto him with the five late night talks, but she never stood a chance. “Jim didn’t choose Pam because Karen lost it.

I've only recently discovered this marvelous show, and am trying to catch up on over three seasons of fairly complex relationship history. In her TH near the end of 'The Job', when Pam is trying to convince the camera crew that she's fine with Jim leaving, she says that she shot him down and later he did the same to her. Now, I know when she rejected him (in the flashback scene in 'Gay Witch Hunt'). But when did Jim reject her? Or was it implied by his relationship with Karen? Can anyone help me out, here?

Chokalingham"? That of course refers to B.J. Novak and Mindy Kaling's real last name.

Karen:
1. moved with Jim when Stamford closed after only knowing him for A MONTH (!)
2. insisted on moving with Jim to New York
3. was often forceful and pushy
4. made Jim feel he needed to change himself for her
5. called Pam a bitch – in the office – to the crew
6. pranks with her weren’t as fun or funny (note the dinner party prank)
7. said Pam was ‘in the way’ and that he needed to abandon her for them
8. laughed at Jan’s implosion

Conclusion? Jim’s Christmas party acknowledgment of his ‘rebound’ relationship with Karen was not quite as ‘fun’ as he initially thought it’d be and realized she was not for him, and leaving her was best.

I would love to see Pam working on her art, and how it has changed from "motel art" to something amazing since she started becoming more honest with herself. I would also love for the cold open to be Kelly going nuclear in a talking head about Ryan. To me, the first show doesn’t need a recap of Jim and Pam’s blossoming relationship.

Instead, I think we will see a lot of ackward moments between the two of them as they try to balance work and relationship time (esp. with Karen still around). My guess is that this ackwardness will carry on for a good amount of the season. I don't think we'll get a "just friends" talking head, but instead there will be an unsaid/alluded to cooling off period.

Look at the Netflix teaser - "Jim and Pam navigating a tentative romance." Tension keeps the show fresh. My guess is that Jim and Pam decide to take things slow, but can't quite make it over the next hurdle (whatever that is). That said, I predict that we should brace ourselves for a Jam prank "rein of terror" on Dwight & Andy as Jim and Pam try to find a balance in their relationship.
