I love how everyone thinks they're gonna break up all the time.
In "Fun Run," they were gonna break up because Jim wasn't happy about carrying Pam's lamp or something, and because he looked "out of it."
In "Dunder-Mifflin Infinity," they were gonna break up because the "is the magic gone" conversation was "prophetic."
In "Launch Party," they were gonna break up because Pam didn't want to go through with Jim's prank.
In "Money," they were gonna break up because Jim had a weird look on his face when he came in and kissed Pam.
In "Local Ad," they were gonna break up because he was OMG AN ASSHOLE THAT DIDN'T SUPPORT HER DREAMS OMG. And also because she gave him an annoyed look that disappeared .0005 seconds later.
In "Branch Wars," they were gonna break up because Jim didn't read Angela's Ashes.
In "Survivor Man," they were gonna break up because Jim was being insensitive over the birthdays.
In "The Deposition," they were gonna break up because she was being demanding.
In "Dinner Party," they were gonna break up because OMG HE WAS GOING TO ABANDON HER OMG!!!! (except, you know, he tried to take her with him, and you know he would have found some way of getting her out of there. Oh, and apparently everyone forgot about when Pam "ditched" him in "Local Ad," because if there's one thing you can't do in The Office fandom, it's insult Pamela Morgan Beesly in any way, shape, or form. But that's a rant for another time, maybe not ever because I like her a lot.)
In "Chair Model," they were gonna break up because she gave him a weird look after the proposal conversation.
In "Night Out," they were gonna break up because he didn't beat up Toby (but you know if he had, everyone would have been like OMG HE'S JUST LIKE ROY WHAT AN ASSHOLE. Jim just can't get a break.).
In "Did I Stutter?", they were gonna break up because he didn't immediately run over to tell Pam that Ryan had threatened him (I loooove the crazy conspiracy theory that someone on the IMDb [of course] boards had, where NBC had "lied" in their synopsis and, in fact, Pam was sleeping with Toby the night before and just didn't want to tell him. LOL. I love IMDb.).
In "Job Fair," they were gonna break up because Pam had such chemistry with the mysterious art school booth guy.
Seriously, this was the season where everyone overanalyzed the shit out of everything (though I dunno, have you ever read the S2 episode recaps on Television Without Pity? Jesus Christ, man, the show's a comedy!). I do think what happened in "Goodbye Toby" was more serious than all this bullshit that turned out to be nothing, but I don't think Pam would be like, in the car, "I HATE YOU NOW JIM AND WE ARE BREAKING UP." Oh, and can we stop the debate of "OMG Jim's the worst employee ever" and "OMG Jim's such a fucking jackass" that seems to be going on a lot lately? If Jim's the worst employee ever, I don't want to know what Creed is. If Jim's a fucking jackass, I don't want to know what Michael is. He happens to be great at sales... but he doesn't like his job. He happens to be a nice guy... but in his own words, he's not perfect, because nobody is.
Whew.
