Soooooooooooooo let's talk about Jim and Pam(yes I obsessed)

I recomend some good fan fiction, go to www.fanfiction.net and read all the "M" rated stories. Loads of fun.

Ok you have a weird idea of fun but I sometimes watch the Brady Bunch sooo Have Fun

I AM SO FREAKIN OBSESSED... I love Jim and I am SO jealous of Pam. I want JIM!!

so how evil would it be if pam and jim snook around a bit? i mean could they carry on a physical affair? would we hate them for it? just curious what your thoughts are.

definitely, go to fanfiction and only read the M section if you are of age. also make sure your virus protection is up and working well...

yay jam.

unrequited love is when you love someone but they don't love you back. for some reason i remember random stuff from high school

i agree they shouldn't hook up too soon... but the tension needed to be broken, i was going nuts in the Booze Cruise episode when they were just standing out on the deck by themselves and Pam started the "sometimes i just don't get Roy" and Jim just stood there with a goofy look on his face and i'm screaming at the TV: TELL HER NOW!!

i guess i can kinda relate to Pam's character too, and her relationship with Jim. i was in a similar love triangle but i ended up with the "Jim" of the two guys. we're getting married in April. i just know what it's like to be in Pam's shoes, and figuring out what you need to do doesn't happen overnight.

Hooray for all the Jims out there and for all the women who get them! Good for you

Before I post more I want to make one thing clear, I, for one, am not in love with Jim. Now to talk about JAM. My favorite Jam episode is Jinx episode it's sooo sweet.

You know what, I would enjoy seeing that but I don't know how it would fair in the public oppinion if Pam went behind Roy's back.

Plus I don't think Jim wants to borrow Pam. He's playing for keeps.

But if you meant, that Pam breaks up with Roy and they have to sneak around just b/c they dont want their relationship to get out -- I'm all for that.

The strike is almost over, it's time for a fresh start! Discuss your favorite couple here. But remember, the rules still apply!

Ok, I'm coming out of the closet here.... **breathes deeply**

I'm a big flan of JAM.

Yes, I'm a bigger flan of Dwangela but JAM was the reason I started watching The Office. If it weren't for them I might not have given TO as much of a chance as I did.

Here's my absolute favorite JAM scene (mini-vid style ):

"Hi"
"Hey"

WHAT!?!

*sigh* They are pretty freakin' irresistible in that one.

Of course the hand-holding in Fun Run was pretty darn cute too:

^^ aww darth your not all evil. there is still good in you.

The first time we saw Pam picking up jim in her car and they kissed. *swooning* It was just a flood of joy

You mean this moment:







You know what I liked about it? It was natural. We already got the "BIG" kiss in Casino Night. The next one was eavesdropping. And then we got the "I don't care, I love her kiss:"

It's too late for me. My friend.



Ok, I think I'm just getting sappy in my old age.... But one of my favorite things about JAM is how they don't even need words to communicate their feelings:

Don't forget their 1st "actual" (albeit drunken and accidental) kiss in The Dundies:

Awwwe Darth,

I think you picked my two favorites as well. The "Hi" and "Hello" as well as the "Hand Holding" scenes are so simple and yet so sweet and natural or everyday.

Still the best one. I will go on the record as saying that one does more for me than the casino night kiss or the carpool kiss.

What exactly does it do for you, Diapers?

Perhaps it's knowing that she tasted like second drink. Maybe it has something to do with how honest and unguarded it was. On Casino Night, Jim knew that he was going upstairs for a kiss. When Pam jumped him at the Dundies, she wasn't thinking at all. She did what needed to be done at that moment. I dig spontaneity.

So, what about the "Money Kiss"? That was pretty spontaneous (and passionate), imo. Do you favor that kiss as well?

I think as far as "kisses" go, I think that one may be a favorite. I'm not sure, though. Maybe I just have a thing for Jim taking what he wants. He can be so passive sometimes, it's nice to see a fire lit under is a**.

Hmmm. . . I almost smell a poll. The Best Office Kiss. But I'm not starting one.

And what about The Kiss That Never Happened (but should have): Booze Cruise.

I'm drawing a blank here. Please don't throw garbage at me.

The only money kiss I can think of is Tim and Dawn in the Comic Relief episode. That was a good one.

The kiss that Jim gives Pam in front of everyone after consoling Dwight in the stairway. (Episode 4.4: Money)



And I would never throw garbage at Diapers. Or Diapers in the garbage for that matter. Well, I'd throw actual diapers in the garbage, because really who wants to keep those around. Yuck. But we'll keep you around Diapers with a capital D.


Ok, I'm shutting up now.

Thanks

Okay, I see. I'm sort of a guy, so I was only thinking about the kisses that happened before they were actually a couple. Weak, I know. That really only leaves me with three; Casino Night, The Dundies and the first half of Fun Run. Technically, they were in a relationship for Fun Run, but we didn't know that at the time. If we're including all of the kisses...

I'm still going with The Dundies.

The "Money" kiss is my favorite.

I think I'm goin' with that one, too.

The Dundies - Jim loved it, but Pam seems almost oblivious to the effect it had on him. It sort of set the tone for all the frustration that was to follow.
Casino Night - very passionate, but ultimately very painful.
Fun Run - that just seemed like a throwaway to me - to prove what we already knew
Money - Jim - once again, knew what he wanted and went for it, but this time Pam wasn't going to break his heart. Very sweet and sexy

I like your breakdown Sammy. I kinda feel the same way about all those kisses.

Nice Kiss Comparison, Sexysammyskater7757. Very nice.

I think my favorite kiss is Casino Night. I love all the other kisses, and they all bring up very different emotions, but the CN kiss totally blew me away the first time I saw it. It completely caught me off guard and I was giddy as a schoolboy. It haunted me in my dreams, tormented my soul during the day, and eventually led me to the good ol' NBC Message Board. So, I'm definitely going with Casino Night.

awwwwwww If I could I would kiss you right about now!

That is my fave moment as well. It makes me giddy. Plus how hot did Jim look in that soft blue sweater?

I think Scotty thinks he's very hot in that blue sweater.

^^^

So, it's gang up on Scotty now, eh?

Yeah, Jim was pretty foin in that sweater, however, Pam was definitely workin' that periwinkle dress.
(but Angela looked even hotter in that little black number)

I loved JAM doing the commentary of Dwight buying the purse in "Hot Girl".

Pam: "Yeah, step in and out of it like that."

And all the scheming against Dwight in "The Alliance". It was the first time I saw the chemistry between them.

I just posted an interesting article that involves our beloved couple in the Office Articles thread. Take a peek!

Yes...gosh I love that episode. John does some fantastic acting and I think its the peak of the Jim frustration.

I LOVE this excerpt from WP's stance:

". . . trust these award-winning writers to do their jobs. At worst we'll witness the most cringe-worthy breakup of the century. At best we'll fall in love with love."

A-men to that!

I for one believe that Jim and Pam will make us fall in love with love again. I think we need that. In fact it makes me a little sad that we can't seem to find some satisfaction in a happy healthy relationship and we have some desire for drama that comes in turbulent, heartbreaking and angsty relationships. There has to be a way to enjoy a fictional couple finding and maintaining their happiness and I believe that The Office has just the right people on staff to find that way. It's time for something new and it's time for something fresh. Having a couple come together, stay together and still manage to find a way to enlighten and still entertain us may be just what we need.

And if it starts to fail, Jim and Pam can always go on the back burner. There's plenty of other things going on on the show, that it isn't completely reliant on the JAM relationship.

That was my favorite line, too. Jim and Pam's relationship is what love is all about. After watching them suffer in angst-ville for three seasons, it would be a refreshing storyline to see a couple actually be happy and in love on a sitcom. They're relationship isn't perfect, but I am fully prepared to fall in love with love faults and all.



You took the words right out of my mouth. JAM has the potential to portray a realistic relationship rather than a stereotypical sitcom couple that goes through the predicitable and tired story arc of getting together, breaking up, and getting back together again after some huge overblown emotional event. JAM's relationship follows a very unpredictable pattern of taking it one day at a time. I can relate to them in this context more so than if they were in a constant state of emotional angst. Season 3 was brilliant, but it was tough to watch with JAM colored glasses. Over on the PD, there is a discussion raging on how disconnected JAM feels in Season 4 in comparison to previous seasons. There are many factors that lead to this, but essentially JAM is the couple we always wanted them to be. Their relationship is just more private and the pain of broken hearts is no longer in play. Jim and Pam's relationship has evolved in a very natural way, which in itself is a breath of fresh air. I like the fact that I don't know what is going to happen. Without a traditional storyline it's impossible to know the next step the writers will take. In the process, they are entertaining us as they continue to be the most normal thing about Dunder Mifflin. And it doesn't hurt that we get a little kiss here and there!



Absolutely. There are so many characters in the ensemble with plenty of room for new storylines. Between the writers and the characters they have to work with, there are endless possiblities for the show. Although, I am a JAM fan to the core, I'd love to see other characters get more of the spotlight.

love the article SB thanks. It made me miss Jam more than ever. I was reading it and it just made me stroll down Jam memory lane.

You bet!


We'll have JAM back before you know it. April 10th is less than a month away. If we can make it through Season 3 JAM angst, we can make it another few weeks!

Today I stared at a picture of the Casino Night kiss I have on my desk at work. I look at it everyday, (yeah, I'm nuts), but today I actually stared at it. It was such a beautiful moment. No matter how many times I've seen it or thought it about, the magnitude and emotion of that scene never wears off. It's been almost two years and it still pulls at my heart. That's why we love these two so much!

You're not nuts. I watch that scene a lot. I think it is epic, the best TV kiss EVER. You would think it was a fairytale, not a show about the everyday.
I think I need to go watch it now just talking about it!

I can't stand the Ross/Rachel parallel, they are not to be compared.

The "everyday" is something to consider about JAM and the point of them "making us fall in love with love" again. We are getting to see them through the eyes of their co-workers and the camera crew in "everyday". Love has those moments like FR and CN and Money, but it also has just well, lunch, and meetings.

Oh, I'm nuts. There's no questioning that!

- - - -

I just got done watching the "magic" scene in DMI, (at work -- I'm so bad). It's so cute I can hardly contain myself. I rewound it and watched it 4 times. It's one of those little moments I can't get enough of!

The interesting thing about that scene that I have been trying to figure out is that it is shot as a spy scene...the camera is looking through from accounting at them...so is it them saying that to get the cameras off of them knowing full well they are being watched, OR is it a inter-JAM prank/flirt that happens to get caught??

See I think there are still pranks and silliness ahead...we just haven't had enough episodes yet to see enough of them.

I don't think it's either one IMHO. I believe it is just a moment caught where Jim felt a little bit insecure about JAM after the cat got let out of the bag by Toby and wanted some kind of reinforcement from Pam, which she does through humor, which clearly relaxed him and told him she loves him no matter what.

mmmm...but Pam-initiated pranks are subtle...quiet...and always reassuring to Jim....but I agree, it could just what it is...but that is the fun of analyzing!!!

I'm wondering what happened to the JAM therapy thread? Is this where everyone from that thread has moved? If so, I'm kind of surprised there have been no posts after that last episode. Is there another thread I don't know about, or has everything just been in the episode discussion thread.

Meg

Jamtherapy has closed. This is the new spot for JAM. But yeah, most people are discussing things in the episode thread. Now that the strike is over, hopefully all the threads will come alive again. Feel free to SQUEE about what's happened.


If I have time, I may just post some pictures soon...

SQUEE!
I can't get enough of doing that!
They are sooooooooooooooo adorableeee!!!!!!!

I like these:




And here you are ladies

Thanks for uploading the pictures of JAM in "Chair Model", Bailey 08!
