I actually did a search to see if I have said that before — I haven’t. I do, however, often mention favorite parts of each episode, so in that respect you have a point.

If I were to name another favorite from this season it would be Money. Not that anyone asked…

[from tanster: really? where does tori say that?]

I had the exact thought when I heard that word, too. So glad that the writers stick in things like that so we can revel in the relationship!

All Kelly ever wanted was to marry Ryan & have babies. Pam represents all that Kelly doesn’t have. She was engaged for forever & wedding planning was the only thing that Pam had in common with Kelly, irregardless of the fact that both intended grooms were wrong for both gals. At Phyllis’s wedding, Kelly captured Pam’s discomfort in saying it was supposed to be Pam’s wedding and in no way was she “fine” with it. After Pam breaks up with Roy the second time, Kelly pretty much doesn’t have anything to do with her. In “The Job” Kelly says that Pam’s confession was “patheticville – no offence” and later she tries advising Pam that Jim’s just not into her and for her to wake up. She’s really talking about herself, but Pam’s the target.

For Pam to have landed Jim while Kelly has lost Ryan is more than Kelly can take. She’s so done.

I really loved this episode. It made me laugh out loud sometimes and sometimes it made me quiet.

I don’t know if I would say that Kelly is jealous of Pam though. I think she just thinks that when two guys are fighting, you should always just talk trash… I don’t think it was personal.

I also agree with you about Kelly being jealous of Pam. Pam has what Kelly desperately wants, what Kelly convinced herself she was going to have with Ryan.

Kelly is so jealous of Pam!

Great review, I hope it isn’t a long time till the next one.

Go writers!

You make a good point. I don’t know if Kelly would recognize that she is jealous of Pam but her trash talk certainly indicates it. People cut down other people down to make themselves feel better.

Pam’s a plain girl and Kelly saw her as someone who really needed to be taught how to be a strong independent woman (or at least Kelly’s version of one). But, plain girl has a guy who would do anything for her. And not just any guy, but a guy who she really connects with and who wants to be her best friend and boyfriend. That is something Kelly has figured out how to find.

Thank you for the compliment!

Sorry. I should also stop referring to my husband as “the testicles.” I think it is funny, but I do sometimes see the hurt in his eyes.

Sure, I don’t disagree that Darryl could really fall for Kelly, but at this point it seems like he is just having a good time with her. Kelly sees that Jim and Pam are in love – for realsies.

I don’t think DM is a great place to work for; however, Michael tends to personalize everything. David Wallace is a nice guy; therefore, DM is a nice place.

“Jim will probably always be a better boyfriend to Pam than Darryl is to Kelly” I disagree. I see no evidence that Darryl wouldn’t be just as good of a boyfriend TO Kelly. Darryl and Pam (or Jim and Kelly) don’t match up at all so that then they both would be bad boyfriends.
