It is what everyone in the audience wants, it is what they want (but just don't act on)... Why would you think otherwise?

Re: The Office 2-1
Another two moments I just remembered that made me LOL....
1. When they showed Creed eating the steak with his hands. 2. The look on Dwight's face when Packer fake kicked Michael. Another comment- I wish we could get filled in a little bit on these "talks" between Jim and Karen. I got kinda mixed signals from it. AT first, they were supposed to have fixed the relationship (?). I didn't know they were having any real problems besides her moving too close to him. Yet, after all these talks, things seemed really awkward between them. I don't think this was well done or intentional.

I don't see them being together at any point during the show's run, because it removes a major running plot line from the show (whether it has been beaten to death or not). I could possibly see them doing it in the series finale, but that would be so cheesy... I think the writers are better than that

Toby/Andy weren't in the episode, they didn't give us much of a backstory on the jim/karen situation. Eh.. the writers kind of glued this one together

Re: The Office 2-1
I just take the plot lines at a very rough, high level - not something that needs to be "developed" week to week. The show is much better that way.

Re: The Office 2-1
They're playing to the camera a lot more this episode, not just Jim. Which works. And it's nice to see Michael back to his old self.
I didn't notice the lack of Andy until I read this thread, and now it does kinda leave me hanging. Cest la vie.

I thought this episode actually had some of the most realistic dialogue of any Office ep. Many people are outwardly like Pam was in this ep. when they're dealing w/ [censored] on the inside. Real people are weird and awkward. I thought it was great.
