"reverse the button!"

I haven't been talking about tv too much lately (outside of "OMFG JON HAMM ON 30 ROCK LET'S COUNT DOWN THE SECONDS," all of which can be found at hamm_daily *pimp pimp*), but special episodes call for special circumstances.

Can I get the rant out of the way first? No? Too bad.

I'm sorry, but Jim and Pam are way too "perfect" a couple for me to handle. How is it that their conflicts, since becoming a couple, are always solved so neatly and within an episode? And why are they always so goddamn poetic and emotional? When Jim was all, "Is it my fault?" and Pam was all, "Yes," and repeats Jim's sonnet, I was all, "Really? Do people actually talk like that?"

Jim needs to drop the emo from his iPod is all I'm sayin'.

Speaking of iPods, that roast was AMAZING. I LOVE YOU, ANDY BERNARD. Angela's "You might be Michael Scott" routine turned me into a giggle monster. It ran a little long, but not so much that I lost interest.

The movie-within-the show was a little contrived, but strong work to Greg Daniels and Co. for refusing to simply plunk random a-list stars into the world of Dunder Mifflin. I would have hated that.

I miss Ryan. :(

Agreed. I wouldn't even care (that much) if they were the perfect couple with zero conflicts if these random "almost conflict" one-episode plots for the two of them didn't keep leading to absolutely nothing other than proving ONCE AGAIN that they love each other. Yeah, I already got that memo.

I miss Ryan. :(

Agreeeeed :( :( :(

I tooootally agree.

But I didn't think Pam's monologue was too heavy-handed. I think she was realistically devastated by her parents' divorce and overwhelmed by how committed Jim is to her at the same time. So it worked for me. I think the CPR scene was the one that was really over-the-top.
