I liked the episode overall, but was disappointed that Pam is coming home “the wrong way.” I really wanted to see her to have a greater vocation and feel that could have done a lot for the character, expanding her beyond her relationship with Jim. I’m still waiting for Dwight and Angela to be “officially” reunited. I’m sure the love triangle will come to a very exciting end eventually!
I kinda disagree with you Meaningful Revisions, I think it’s realistic that pam came home and didn’t finish art school. She’s 30 years old and is engaged. To live out her dream she would have to put aside a family, getting married and so on, just so she live in NY and make art. I have to tell you, I’m 29 almost 30 yrs old, I’m married and I have 2 kids…I couldn’t see myself doing what Pam did. It happens a lot. Not everyone gets to live out their dreams for certain reasons and honestly I think that when the show’s all said and done, everyone will still be stuck at DM hating their jobs. Who really likes their jobs anyways? lol
I really liked this episode but then I say that about almost all of them haha! My favorite scene was Oscar and Andy drinking together! SO funny! Then, drunk dialing Angela!!! It doesn’t get any better than that!
I really enjoyed the episode. It is so like Michael to not have a clue about what is happening around him. And i am glad that Pam came home too. It shows that she really is in love with Jim, putting aside her plans, but yet having stepped out and at least giving them a try. And it also showed, in the episode, that Ryan is still a creep!
