That reminds me that early on Angela was the one with a crush on Roy, and Roy picked her as the hottest woman in the office in front of Pam.

Meanwhile Andy also wants in for stupid reasons, gets mocked for it, flails and departs with grace like a true Cornell man and we're meant to sympathize with "I couldn't even do a HS level reading assignment to support the woman I've obsessed over for years" Jim lol quote:I know I’m like primed to over exaggerate this stuff because of the prank thread, but Jim only started dating Katy to make Pam jealous and them seemingly dumped her because it wasn’t working as much as he thought it would.

Yeah it's hosed on levels, Jim really didn't see her as an equal to him at all and it's obvious Dwight had the best time I think, on that cursed boat

Jim and Pam weren't bad people imo they were just dreamers and the show starts off treating that as purely a good thing but by the end it flips it on them. My problem is michael Scott. Dude loving sucks, he learns nothing and gets the happiest ending in the show lmao

Meredith was getting laid with the boat captain before Michael sent people overboard into freezing water, she made out pretty good. What makes Jim a little worse was him and Katy had already basically broken up and weren't talking, but he invited her there anyway only to act like that.

Impossibly Perfect Sphere posted:Did you even watch? Michael Scott is the only one who shows growth. Yeah Michael Scott is a deeply lonely man who only wants friendship and a place he feels like he belongs. Like half of the stupid poo poo he does in the office stems from this and the fact that because he has no meaningful relationships in his life he looks to fill these needs with his subordinates. When he finds holly and forms a meaningful relationship with her and leaves it makes sense that he would get a happy ending because he’s actually learned that the office is an office not a family and a real family is what will make him happy. It’s a good arc that makes sense and is poo poo on by the show just relentlessly pushing the idea of these coworkers being a family who need to attend each others weddings and get tattoos together and Andy crying that his lovely days as a paper salesman are in the past everywhere outside of that arc BIG FLUFFY DOG fucked around with this message at 13:23 on Sep 2, 2023 |

Part of me wishes they forced themselves to have the constraint of “we only shoot footage in the office, or at most work events/parties” to avoid the wedding/hospital/daycare stuff and spare the writers the temptation to have all the characters be involved in each others’ lives outside of the office. But then we wouldn’t have the dinner party episode.

Gabe was just the worst. While he was dating that Kimmy Schmidt receptionist, who thought she was obliged to date her boss, they were playing Wordfeud or something like that, and since he always won he got to choose what movie they were gonna watch together. And he always picked horror movies, which she hated. What a jerk.

No, that's probably not true. Worst part was Jim and Pam getting married, having kids, looking for daycare, going on a vacation and after returning talking about that "frank and beans"-couple.

I think it’s funny how often the office kept pushing staples and Office Depot as these titans of industry and efficiency that were completely swallowing all the little guys and not even like 3 years later they’re all teetering on the edge of bankruptcy

There was one episode where she wanted Michael to like him and appeared to be interested in him, but after that she treats Gabe with almost physical revulsion and no shared interests.

Jim and Pam are self-centred people, only occasionally expanding their circle of concern to each other. Jim’s “growth” in an episode is learning that as an adult he should keep his apartment tidy when he has a roommate.
