I loved this episode. For some reason I think people won't be too happy with it (maybe the lack of Jim and Jim/Pam?), but I loved it. I haven't read any reactions though, so for all I know everyone else loved it as much as I did.

I'm so freaking glad we got to actually see what happened after the kiss. I expected we would just be told or we would infer from whatever the situation was between Pam and Roy and Pam and Jim what had happened. But then we actually got to see it! I can't believe after that kiss and Pam saying she'd wanted to do that for awhile too that she still told him she was going through with the marriage. I am glad that she ended up not going through with it.

I'm actually pretty surprised that nothing happened between Jim and Pam after that. I kept expecting at the end of the episode for there to be like a close-up on Pam's or Jim's computer screen and there to be a message from the other saying like how they missed them all day and would see them that night or whatever. Or for one of them to call each other at the end. But it never happened. I'm ok with it being like this, though. It helps prolong the actual them getting together, but I think it's also realistic and they're not just introducing random obstacles. I want to know if Jim knows that Pam didn't get married, though. That was never addressed.

The whole main plot with Oscar made me really sad for him, but I found it absolutely hilarious. And I loved Jim's prank on Dwight with the whole gaydar thing, and then Dwight realizing it was beeping at himself. And Michael's attempts at being P.C. but failing miserably. "Queer as Fuck"! hee!

Ed Helms! wheeee!

Ryan's no longer a temp! That's not too surprising. I kind of figured that would happen. I can't believe Ryan took the job, though. It was sad how Pam kept staring at Ryan and looking over to him, trying to make him a replacement Jim but failing because... he's not Jim, he's Ryan.

One disappointment: I want to know if Jim ended up going to Australia! He believed Pam was getting married and he did go through with the transfer, so I think it would make sense that he did, but it was never mentioned. I have no idea why I want to know, really. I guess I just feel like it's a dangling plotline.


Anyways, yay for The Office! I'm so happy it's back. I can't wait until next week.

I also watched My Name is Earl, and it was pretty good, but I don't really have anything to say about it.

Hee, yay! It was so great. I noticed that the humor was more cringeworthy than usual, kind of more like the first season, or like the UK version. And usually I'm not as fond of it, but I really liked it in this episode for some reason.
