i think they just showed them all back on the bus singing The Flintstones theme song.

Yeah, it was super cute. (I think it was supposed to be when they were all going to the lake in the morning, though, rather than coming home, because it was still daylight.)

still loving Pam. can't even concentrate on Supernatural...

Me neither! I had to turn it off, actually. I'll watch it later.

She's so fucking brave, and she's come such a long way, I can't even get over how much she's grown, how amazing she is.

I know! I'm sorry that it took (among other things) Jim being kind of a dick to her this season, but it's just awesome to see who she's becoming. Telling Michael she should have his job! OMG PAM I LOVE YOU.

OMG PAM I LOVE YOU.

This pretty much sums me up too.

I am Vonnie. Pretty much exactly. I mean...PAM!

My girl walks through the fire and lets it burn.

And that goes double because (1) Dwight screwed the firewalk up so badly and (2) nobody else even stepped on the coals.

Andy is badly underutilized. I'd really like to see more of the results of his anger management training.

Interesting that Michael finally seemed to recognize that he'd crossed a line when he told Stanley to go to the back of the bus. (Never mind the lines he didn't recognize that he'd crossed by stereotyping Oscar and by not considering any of the women for the promotion.)

Anybody else want to bet that Karen ends up going to corporate?

I think it's possible Karen will go to corporate, but I'm not convinced.

Hey, how about Oscar and Gil! I did laugh at his line about Angela thinking he can cross over.

Oh! I missed that. Other than Pam (OF COURSE! LOVE!!!! !!!) the Stanley bits were cracking me up plus Andy floating away. I thought it was a little slow overall though. I need to rewatch I guess. Maybe I get too excited?!

plus Andy floating away

Especially in that shot where Michael was asking where he'd gone, while he was floating in the background.

ha! yes. Although when the camera crew shone the light on him and he called out and they just turned the light off and left? that was a little sad.

Some of the Jim reaction shots were priceless this episode. I have to rewatch to look at his reactions when Pam made her speech though, since my personal FLAILING kind of wiped out any other memory of the scene.

Oh! I missed that.

It was right after Michael broke the news that he was going for the job at Corporate. Oscar said if [that happened, or if Dwight, or Andy?--I can't even remember got the regional manager position] he was going to transfer to Albany, and he told Gil he could come or not. Then he said something about thinking about ending the relationship anyhow, and that he might give girls a try -- that Angela said she thinks he could cross over.

Other than Pam (OF COURSE! LOVE!!!! !!!)

I think so. Honestly, I can't judge the episode objectively, because I knew from the promos that *something* was supposed to happen with Pam, and that's all I cared about, going in. I had braced myself for the promos being a big misdirect and being disappointed, but I don't even think I watched the episode as if it were a comedy, because I was focused on Pam.
