I never got that Jim is a slob - permanently. I got this episode like he was on vacation from his family and didn't want to clean for a few days when he was out. Being a husband and a father, I totally understand him. And when Pam says she expects Daryl to fix gym.... Almost every wife complains about their husbands lack of tidiness in their POV.

“ we have evidence that Roy was holding Pam back” Do we? Never forget that this show is told from the perspective of Pam. Everything is framed for Pam to be sympathetic. At this point in the show, we are forced to assume that Roy is just being an asshole. However, if the show was told from Roy’s perspective, we might see things differently. Pam and Roy have been together far longer than Jim and Pam. At this point, they have been together for 10 years. Roy knows that Pam has a tendency to impulsively want to try things that she has no intention on actually following through with. This might be the 10th thing this year that she’s brought up (off camera to Roy) and it’s extremely expensive. Of course he dismisses it because he’s frustrated that she keeps doing this. Maybe the first five times he was supportive. We don’t have any context (but we do see her patterns later). And more importantly, let’s remember that when she was with Jim, he did support her going all the way to New York for art school. They risk their relationship and lots of money. He sternly defended her to his family who thought that what she was doing was silly. He put it all out there to defend her decision and support her…. and what did she do? Dropped out because she failed a test and didn’t like drawing logos... The only difference between Roy and Jim is Roy tried to protect her while Jim tried to support her. But, in both cases, Pam is the reason she doesn’t have an art degree. Is Pam a bad person? Absolutely not. I think Pam is an incredible person. But she is very stubborn and emotional and doesn’t follow through on things. We all have flaws. Those are hers. Let’s not forget she also had one art exhibit before she gave up…she asked Jan about the DM design program and then never followed through… she started all those programs as office admin and we never saw them again…she literally quit Dunder Mifflin to follow Michael Scott Paper Company and then wanted to quit within hours of the first day (she knew Michael was like this…she didn’t even want to try). Look, I don’t “hate” Pam. But, we can all be mature enough to recognize that as beautiful as it is that Jim supports all of her side quests, she (and only she) is the reason they never work out. She’s not a bad person, but, she’s insanely impulsive and it’s unfair to assume that after 10 years, Roy dismissing art school was because he was “mean” as opposed to just being tired of wasting money on impulsive hobbies. Someone had to be realistic, they weren’t exactly rolling in dough.

Not be a “Pam Hater” as we are often called… But this entire show is told from Pam‘s point of view. Our sympathy is for her because she’s our “friend.” We support her. But, let’s be real, I am not going to shame Roy for saying he “dodged a bullet” by not marrying the woman who literally cheated on him with a guy he knows. Come on.

His hair looks like that because he’s been gone on the boat for the last few months… I think you’re confused because he shaved the beard off.

It’s supposed to be a visual gag, I think.

Because my cousin and I pranked him using the “burning log” show. He wrote in to the television provider demanding they take the show down. Somehow that hilarious letter he wrote made it’s way to the Daily Show and Carell. Some of it was shot in or around my cousin’s house - we were young and too afraid to be on the camera too.

What I love about the theory of Pam/Meredith is that if you eliminate the sci-fi part, it's just good writing. The Office never shows too much information about personal lives of its characters, so to show Pam's future, the show reflects her character on another one, and that connection is done by making Pam and Roy the only characters to empathize with Jake, Meredith's son.

When David was introduced he was the CFO and the CEO was a guy named Alan that we only saw in "Shareholder Meeting." I get the impression that the writers did not anticipate using David Buckley (David Wallace's actor) as much as they did because a lot of the things he does and says would fall under the purview of a CEO or COO. That said, Chris is right, David was not a good people manager. He hired Ryan, who only worked for the company for two years and never made a sale. He hired Charles who barely lasted a year. He caused Michael to quit which lead to a sales war. And not to mention, he was brought in to financially improve the company but according to Oscar, they just kept wasting money. Now yes, these are anecdotal examples, but these are the only examples we have and they show that except for transferring Holly, David mostly made poor management decisions. The fact is that David was a good CEO after he bought the company because he was hands-off.
