No kidding...why must the rest of us suffer?? blink.gif At least it's only 3 DAYS & not 3 months.
Pam_Halpert_1
I agree to those terms.

Question? By pro-Karen are we talking about watching her hold up green underwear, sitting at Jim's desl, and scene in BF, or call of duty?? I for one think the green underwear is the one that would be the worth.
queenofengland
I also agree to those terms.

And Pam, I'm fine with the green underwear scene.



(Oh God, what have I done?)
Pam_Halpert_1
WOW Queen.. lets hope we both win!!! Cause I don't know if I can look at that sig for 3 days.

And heaven forbid we both lose....ACK I do not even want to think about it! mainly because I really want there to be JAM and Dwangela in this episode, but both of us have that sig.. just, we would make a lot of people sick.

Oh now I am excited! I can not wait to see how it turns out!

Lord beer us strength.. and beer Pam strength!!! wink.gif

What was it exactly that Pam said about Roy beating up Jim in WA? Totally missed that TH.

As hopeful and positive I am on the JAM front, I still get the feeling that what happens in the next 2 episodes will be such a teaser and then, a cliffhanger for the summer. mad.gif I am more worried about the long summer break then the next 2 episodes. Last summer was hard to handle. sad.gif I may have to do a message board detox and completely remove all thoughts of Jim and Pam from my mind. Help! I don't know how to do it! Should I still come here every day and share my angst with fellow Jammers all summer, to keep the fires burning, or should I go cold turkey and avoid everything and anything Office related until S3 comes out on DVD? Is anyone else having panic attacks about 9pm on May 17th? The end is near people! Tell me what to do!!! ohmy.gif

Hi everyone, I'm new to posting, but I've read every word... heheh
My question is Do you notice how with Karen they both smile at each other with their lips closed, no teeth? And with Pam it has always been cheeky grins with teeth (or those sly sexy knowing smiles too)? And have I missed a scene where Jim actually show affection for Karen? Six months into the relationship?

Welcome JamesLover! Great observation! Remember in The Fight when Pam told Jim what nice teeth he has? wub.gif HA! Let's hope Karen never gets to see them!

QUOTE (VBARKLEY @ May 8 2007, 11:24 PM) *
Actually, I would like it even better if Pam and Jim did nothing, but the rest of the staff ganged up on them. (C'mon, you two. You know you love each other. Yeah.) tongue.gif

That would be classic! But I am still hoping they come to the realization on their own, in private, if you know what I mean! wink.gif

VB - who in the heck is Cousin Oliver?

You must be very young! tongue.gif Cousin Oliver was Carol Brady's nephew on The Brady Bunch. He was brought into the show the last season of the show. He was an annoying little twerp who reminded me of John Denver! BTW, I was almost as obsessed with The Brady Bunch as I am with The Office. (I watched it in reruns during the late 70's..I'm not that old!)

I'm on the ledge too. I'm no sure what I'm going to do yet about being on the MB this summer. I may need to detox as well. This is way too stressful!

Who here thinks that since Phyllis has always been around and seen Jim and Pam together, that she may have told Karen "Jim will like it" as a sabotoge to their relationship? (When referring to the green underwear)

I just don't think the color would be the right type to "turn Jim's crank", so to speak.
unshun
The run to the elevator. I am curious about what immediately preceded this scene. I don’t have a layout of the Scranton Business Park, but from what I have seen there does not seem to be a long distance from Pam’s desk to the elevator.
So my question becomes: How did the race to the elevator come to pass? If Pam was clearly on her way out at the same time as Jim and Karen, why didn’t they wait for her and all go down together? It is just common courtesy to wait for someone if they are that close to getting out the door.
Three possible situations seem to appear:

First- Jim and Karen purposefully try to leave Pam behind. That seems out of character for Jim, and a bit to overtly hostile for Karen.
Second- Pam was hanging back. She saw Jim and Karen leave. Then she made a conscious decision to accelerate her departure, and rushed to catch up with Jim.
Third- This is a hybrid of the first two. Pam makes a subtle sign that she is getting ready to leave. Of course with the way Jim has been sleepwalking through the past couple of episodes he fails to notice, and Karen takes advantage of his obliviousness to herd him out the door. Pam then has to make a choice. She can assert herself and get in that elevator, or she can meekly hang back and take the next elevator. After a brief hesitation she goes for it. (This would be the entire JAM story line for this season in miniature.)

The elevator. Before Pam walks in Karen is looking down and away from Jim. Interestingly Jim and Karen never look at each other during the scene. Karen goes from looking down and away to keeping her eyes on Pam. We don’t know where Jim is looking before the door opens on him, but once the door is open he never takes his eyes off Pam. I am not sure what to make of Jim’s smile. It doesn’t look to me like the “look of love” smiles Jim gives. Rather the tight lipped smile, the puffed up cheeks, and wide eyes looks like the “reaction shot” smile he gives when he is reaching out to share a joke about an awkward situation. So perhaps he is one at least one level aware of the dynamic that is starting to unfold, and trying to deflect it with a little humor.

Other random observations. While much has been said about Karen’s choice of underwear, anyone else notice Phyllis’ choice. (She has some kind of thong or g-string dangling from her left wrist. Sorry I don’t know if there is a difference, suffice to say there isn’t much material involved.) That along with her comment that role-play can be fun leads me to think that she hasn’t left her “easy rider” days behind entirely. (No wonder Bob Vance sent her an entire garden on Valentine’s Day. ohmy.gif ) If this has left an unfortunate mental picture of Phyllis and Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration, in your head, well that is what you get for reading the information behind the black bars. tongue.gif

As always great posts all around. It is always so much fun to read what everyone has on their mind.

I dearly hope Jim isn't one to be turned on by Day-glo underwear. Because if that's the case, I need to make a stop at Victoria's Secret... tongue.gif

Well, while doing my research for the Blue shirt project. I found something very odd. There is another theme having to do with when Jim is wearing his jacket, and just how he acts around Karen. I mean guys this is pretty wild!! This theme is almost more sound then Jim's Blue shirts!!

I am doing S3 and going on to S2. I am going to hold off on S1 for right now seeing as they only shot a certian amount of episodes I am thinking that his shirts do not matter as much, but do not worry I will get to it!

I might just so season by season, I am finding some wild parallels between certian things, and when Jim tells the truth. It is almost as if the writers are showing us just how high his wall is that episode.

Oh and By The Way!! I am DONE with School!!! YEAH!! I am so very excited! So yeah!! Okay I am addicted to what I am finding, so I am going to dive right back in! I might stop and do the QTP's.. I have been wanting to do them all week long!!

I have been on board with Phyllis as a JAM supporter since day one. I know it's a long shot, but maybe she'll play a 'fairy godmother' role in uniting JAM in some way!

Pam Halpert, I cannot wait for this thesis! It sounds like a really fun project...watching every episode and just scrutinizing Jim? Wait, I think I've done that project before!!! I just didn't take notes.

I would be interested to see something similar about Pam and her color schemes, hair, make-up, etc. I was just watching The Convict, and I was blown away by how beautiful she looked in that episode. I mean, Pam is always pretty, but I wonder what the significance is in episodes where she obviously made extra effort to look nice. (Although her hair/sweater in The Merger is pretty transparent. Oh how I love that moment when she fixes her hair as Jim walks in! And then their hug! *sigh* beer me JAM).
jimswife4life
On the vein of the blue shirt, I have noticed that Pam has been wearing blue more frequently too. I wonder if that relates at all to Jim and his blue shirt and if it has happened in the same episode? I am watching Safety Training and noticed Pam in her blue striped shirt and blue sweater, in Women's Appreciation she is wearing a different shirt and blouse, but blue is the colour. Anyone want to research it?

Shhh... I have that in the works as well! Actually Pam is going to be a whole lot easier then Jim is. I have even noticed at certian times how both of their outfits seem to "contrast" You can tell it is going to be a positive Pam episode if she is wearing one thing and Jim is wearing another. Same with Jim, if it is going to be a positive Jim episode.

Their clothes tend to show what is going on internally with each of them, but when they are both dressed in certian ways, well then you know some JAM is coming!

One thing I have found interesting is that in the return Jim is not wearing blue, but Pam is. I am really going to have to think about what this had to do with JAM. What I did find out is that the no jacket rule in this episode still rings true!

I am so excited to show you guys I just am going to have to post in installments. I might tell you the themes I saw and then post my observations about the episodes and see what else all of you can find!! This is just way to fun!!
Pam_Halpert_1
Wow guys there is just way to much stuff here!!! Even S2 Jim and S3 Jim have different meanings when wearing blue shirts

I am thinking I might need to start a new thread.. we will see!!
herecomestrouble
Well, the speculation for tomorrow's episode was throwing me into a tizzy, so I felt that I needed to gain some perspective. So, I have had a mini-S3 marathon today and yesterday. I've gone from Gay Witch Hunt through Back from Vacation. I want the whole season fresh in my mind for the finale! I may do this again next week.

My greatest conclusion: Jim is still very in love with Pam! Very much so. I know that is no real revelation, but it brings me a little peace. Hope you find yours!
Pam_Halpert_1
We are going to play a little game!! I am going to give you some episodes and you have to tell me what common theme you see in them!!

After all is said and done you will see where I am going with this!!

1st group:

The Fire
The Fight
Valentines Day
Drug Testing
Conflict Resolution
( cold open) of The Carpet.

There are at least two themes that run through these episodes, and think of the themes in terms of Jim's emotions!!

I will be right back to give you the next very small group that can also go with this group ( the themes are just not as strong)

Two things:
1. I'm glad you're separating S2 and S3 with the blue shirt theory.
2. Holy crap! This thread moves fast! How the heck am I suppose to stay current?
OK, three things then.
3. When did we start to call Jim "James"? What am I missing? Mind you, I'm still totally jet-lagged! Ugh.

I want to do that before the finale, but with all the seasons. I jut need to find the time...
Pam_Halpert_1
I actaully found a connection between S2 and S3 with the blue shirts. My head is spinning you should see all of the connections I found! I am going to try to type it up tonight so I can show you guys!!

The factor that changed between S2 and S3 is that we added Karen ( which is where is jacket comes in)

and as always Pam will be connected with Jim's sleeves!

you have to think of it as blue shirt is just about Jim, and it is the " other items" of clothing that tell the JAM or Jaren story!! The connections are stronger with in their own season, but it still holds across season as well!!

Now I have to find a way to put this all into words!!

A new thread would be great. I am fascinated (sp?) by the theories involving clothing and feelings and actions. I know I choose colours myself based on mood, and my intentions. Like I wear red if I want hubby to notice me, and pink when I need to feel feminine, (I live with 4 males after growing up with 5 brothers), blue if I want to enhance my eyes, etc. I don't have all of the Season 3 episodes so I can't do the study myself.

I just couldn't stand to see JAM therapy on page two 24 hours away from a new episode!

IT'S ALMOST THURSDAY!!

Oh, I think the green underwear and some suggestive comment about her and Jim would suffice.

I was also thinking that maybe instead of a list of things Jim and Karen do together, it may be even more punishment to make a list of everything that makes them a good couple.

Both ideas are cringe-worthy, so I'll leave the decision up to you two.

I have felt a bit down just for this reason. In two weeks we will be without new Office for months! I also hope that there is not a painful season finale ending. That would make the wait even more torturous.

But, there are some things to look forward to. Shrek the Third comes out May 18 and we can all enjoy the sweet voice of Sir Lancelot. Also, License to Wed comes out in July. Just think, a whole movie starring John! *sigh*

Well, while doing my research for the Blue shirt project. I found something very odd. There is another theme having to do with when Jim is wearing his jacket, and just how he acts around Karen. I mean guys this is pretty wild!! This theme is almost more sound then Jim's Blue shirts!!

I am doing S3 and going on to S2. I am going to hold off on S1 for right now seeing as they only shot a certian amount of episodes I am thinking that his shirts do not matter as much, but do not worry I will get to it!

I might just so season by season, I am finding some wild parallels between certian things, and when Jim tells the truth. It is almost as if the writers are showing us just how high his wall is that episode.

Oh and By The Way!! I am DONE with School!!! YEAH!! I am so very excited! So yeah!! Okay I am addicted to what I am finding, so I am going to dive right back in! I might stop and do the QTP's.. I have been wanting to do them all week long!!

Yay! What a great feeling that is!

I'm glad you are putting your free time to good use. A psychoanalysis of Jim's clothing could solve the world's problems and let us have some fun in the process.

Wow...wow.

I can't even handle how hardcore that is. But I like it! I could stare at those pics of Jim all day. Oh, and all of those brown ties. double *sigh*

Well, the speculation for tomorrow's episode was throwing me into a tizzy, so I felt that I needed to gain some perspective. So, I have had a mini-S3 marathon today and yesterday. I've gone from Gay Witch Hunt through Back from Vacation. I want the whole season fresh in my mind for the finale! I may do this again next week.

My greatest conclusion: Jim is still very in love with Pam! Very much so. I know that is no real revelation, but it brings me a little peace. Hope you find yours!


That is a great idea. Maybe I can talk my hubby into a S3 Marathon this weekend. What fun!

I heard this Sarah McLachlan song today and thought of Pam and what is ahead of her in the next few eps.

Possession
Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide
voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
the night is my companion, and solitude my guide
would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?
and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear
Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed
trying to find an honest word to find
the truth enslaved
oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive
And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear
Into this night I wander
it's morning that I dread
another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread
oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied
and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes...

I was also thinking that maybe instead of a list of things Jim and Karen do together, it may be even more punishment to make a list of everything that makes them a good couple.


Now that would just be mean!! ironically when doing the episode analysis I had to shift my negative thought about Jaren, because some times Karen makes Jim happy... Who Knew?? wink.gif

A new thread it is!! I already have to peices to go, and I think I am going to give the facts and explian what I saw and then leave the rest up to debate! I might even keep a few things up my sleeves just to be crafty wink.gif

I also have a plan mapped out on how I will classify things. You should see my white board, I erased all my school stuff, and now there is a huge flow chart tracking Jim and his many colored shirts!!

Yeah!! Can not wait until tomorrow! I hope I cry happy tears when all is said and done!!

Why do I have this feeling like we are going to see Jim walk away agian sad.gif NO must not think that!! He will come back even if he has to leave for the night, he WILL come back to Pam!!

I think we should continue to follow the JAM code: Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

Jim just may walk away, but hopefully it will just be a quick jaunt around the block. Then he'll come back to Pam.

ARG! Why is waiting for tomorrow so hard?
Pam_Halpert_1
It is getting to be that time agian where I make myself prepare for the worst!!

Like Karen giving Jim an ultimatum, " move to New York with me or we are done" Pam can not find Jim, so Jim leaves with Karen.

I will keep my hopes and expectations very low

Everyone: Go watch our favorite JAM video, STAT! (STAT means now, people!) Silly Songs with Halpert: His Cheeseburger

Just thought you all needed some cheering up - like me! I have been so apprehensive lately, so I needed the reassurance that they will find their way to each other soon. Repeat after me: Pam WILL tell Jim the truth. Jim will NOT go w/ Karen to NYC. They WILL be together SOON.

DITTO, Beeswax, but those are two major things to look forward to! I figure b/t a few trips, school being out (I work @ a school, so it's a lot more laid back in the summer even though we still work), lots of fanfic, and MBing, I'll have plenty to do until S3 comes out on DVD & then S4 will arrive! biggrin.gif

HCT, you tease! ohmy.gif Please share HOW you gained such clarity & WHY you feel this way? I don't have time to watch half of S3 before tomorrow night & I would LOVE to hear your thoughts!

Sorry! Let me break it down, not so scientifically, and definitely not very meticuously:

In Gay Witch Hunt, Jim looks longingly out the window -- "You can't beat that view . . right?" He knows whatever body of water that is (I'm no geography whiz) its a poorman's Pam. The view in Scranton beats all. Conclusion: He loves Pam.

In The Convention: Jim wants to call Pam before anyone when he sees Angela in Dwight's room. He wants to ask Michael how she is. He is shocked and saddened (not angry) to hear she has a date. He admits to Michael that he had to leave because he couldn't be around her. Conclusion: He Loves Pam.

In The Coup: He looks his happiest recalling playing "Predendonitis" with Pam. He calls Karen a psychopath. Conclusion: He loves Pam, and Karen is definitely not making the best of first impressions.

In Grief Counseling: He has to work to get a postitive response from Karen to his "playing around" at work. She balks at his authority, she wants to give up after just a small effort, she opts to go back to work. Pam would never have taken that stance. In fact, she spends most of her day throwing a bird funeral together. Conclusion: Pam is far better suited to Jim's lifeview and interests.

In The Initiation: Need I say anything really about the phone call? He is shocked to hear her voice, but the pleasantries abound, and they fall into an intimate, rousing and hilarious conversation as easily as if they had never been apart. He is saddened to think she has to let him go. Conclusion: He still loves Pam, and this is very evident to him as he leaves his office.

In Diwali:OK, there's not much love in this one. But we do see the genesis of Pam's "dorky dancing" which is very cute indeed -- and we understand why Jim loves her for it. Conclusion: Because he loves her for dancing like that, he loves her.

In Branch Closing: His first thoughts of the Scranton branch are of Pam. He wants to know if she will be joining him. He fights his feelings with that gorgeous fingering through his hair, only to realize that he really does want to be near her again. I know, he makes the huge mistake of telling Karen she should come too, but think about this: He is not sure what Karen will do, whether or not she will be offered the job or even take it. But yet, he still makes the decision to return to Scranton, buffer or not. He does not decide to go because he WILL have a buffer, he decides to go because he knows he does want to see Pam again. He just uses Karen as a buffer later when he gets there because he is scared. Conclusion: He still loves Pam.

In The Merger: That smile when they hug! wub.gif Need more proof? He doesn't know where he stands with her. But you can tell he would want to stand WITH her. Conclusion: He loves Pam. ALOT.

In The Convict: We hear him admit to being with Karen, but he doesn't looked thrilled, doesn't say a word about her personally, and won't talk about it openly, not even to the cameras. Conversely, he is full of animation and happiness when talking about PAM - her likes and dislikes. Their interactions amid the Andy prank -- are really about pranking Andy, not Pam, and they are the happiest Jim looks all day. Conclusion: He still loves Pam.

In A Benihana Christmas: The famous rebound speech: "You just had a rebound. Which dont get me wrong, can be a really fun distraction, but when its over you're left thinking about the girl you really like, the one that broke your heart." Oh, so true, James! And he cant help but love to be sucked into her prank on Dwight. Conclusion: He loves Pam! (and knows Karen is just a rebound)

In Back From Vacation: I hate to sound like Stanley, but watch his pauses. This is something I have noticed in alot of these episodes. When they are talking in the break room and she says "Also" (and when he is waiting for her to tell him what his Christmas present is in ABC) the look of anticipation, fear, and excitement on his face is extraordinary. He never knows if what she is going to say is going to be "the thing" he is longing to hear, and it gets his riled up every time. Its so amazing to watch that! Conclusion: He still loves Pam.

That is as far as my mini-marathon has gotten me. I have to clean the house and shop tomorrow so I may not have time to finish before the new episode, but I am still overly anticipatory for all the great JAM that is upcoming! He loves her! Never fear!

^^ Wow! You have really done your homework, HCT!

Nice work and what a great way to bolster the troops!

I think it's bed time for me, but I'll be back tomorrow with my predictions for Beach Games. I don't want to give two much away, but it will have something to do with a certain couple becoming Mr. and Mrs. James Halpert.

If you dream it, it will come.

HCT, I am seriously sitting here about to cry. sad.gif That was the most wonderful compilation of S3 Jim & signs that he still loves Pam, in spite of Karen & the return of Roy. This show makes my heart hurt. But THANK YOU for doing that. I know we ALL really appreciate it. smile.gif

Awww I feel all mushy inside!!! That was wonderful to read you guys!! You made me feel sad and happy all at the same time!!

And let me just say I will be right there with you crying like an idiot... esp if I win the bet wink.gif

Hey! Do you know that I can now see what Jim is wearing and know exactly how the episode is going to go?? I can!! it is really cool! I feel like I jusr found a new super power and I am going to put it to use!!

Oh and I intend to use my time to the fullest!! Writting, looking at Jim's clothes, and checking the time every hour to see just how much closer the S3 DVD is!!!

You all might need to be here tomorrow evening to catch me if I fall into despair following the episode if things don't at least move along in some way. I don't want to cry. But I know I will cry if it's good and I'll cry if it's bad! OK, I'm off to watch Booze Cruise.

Lord, beer me some JAM!

I'll be here to commiserate with you tomorrow night. Although, I hope we are CELEBrating as opposed to COMMISErating. A reverse Booze Cruise huh? I wonder if when it comes time for Pam to be honest and she is looking at Jim and he is looking at her with that "look" at the campfire, if she will just give him 27 seconds of silence? That would be poignant.

EH - just watched the JK vid -- I know I have said that I would choose Jim over John, but I dont know after watching that -- he is delectable!

I am feeling the " making myself ready" blues! I know when Pam tells Jim he is going to need some time, but I really don't want that time to be like ummm 4 months.

I just know this is going to be a huge episode! I am just saying if Jim has an off white shirt with sleeves rolled down and some kinda of jacket on.. brace yourselves!

my stomach is already doing flip flops...unsure.gif O am soooo nervous, what I would give to take a test tomorrow just to get my mind off of JAM...ekk

I have to admit, I haven't been here in a while. Everytime I come here I get way too anxious and I busy myself with other things so as to forget...

At this point, JAM interaction is enough for me to be happy! I'll be back tomorrow.

I agree!

I had such anxiety while watching Casino Night last year because I was so nervous about what would happen with JAM. Let's just say I pretty much ignored the final scene with Michael, Carol and Jan because it was sandwiched between 'the confession' and 'the kiss".

I'm going to try and keep a clear head and CHILLAX during these last 2 episodes so that I can enjoy every scene. I keep telling myself that JAM will NOT happen so that I won't be disappointed, but I know deep down that's a hoax (just like Jim and Pam denying their feelings for each other).

Oh god you guys! It's thursday!!!!!! I'm freaking out. Like I don't know what to do with myself. I try to read fanfic, but I can't concentrate. I tried to get my Lost on, but I couldn't. I was literally walking around thinking about JAM all frekkin day.

My plan for tomorrow:
-930 wake up
-1100, work (think about CT scans and appointments, not JAM and campfires)
-600, leave work an hour early
-700 go to concert with my sister
-1130, come home and say a prayer to the JAM gods
-1131, watch episode
-1201, watch episode again
-1231, come on boards and either cry or cheer.

I think I have busied myself enough.

What are your plans for tomorrow fellow JAM flans?
