Watch it again and again and again. It's perfect every time.

What is even happening?

We get an HOUR. Which may be what we get all next season. I wonder if they double everyone's salaries if that happens.

I read that NBC announced there would be 24 episodes next season, with four of those being an hour long. I might have read this early today. My brain is still pretty much all PAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with a side of: Sunil, you have e-mail.

Not bad.

I did the coal walk! Just...I did it. Michael, you couldn't even do that. Maybe I should be your boss.

Wow I feel really good right now.

Why didn't any of you come to my art show? I invited all of you! That really sucked. It's like sometimes some of you act like I don't even exist.

Jim, I called off my wedding because of you. And now we're not even friends. And things are just -- like -- weird between us and that sucks. And I miss you. You were my best friend before you went to Stamford. I really miss you.

I shouldn't have been with Roy. And there were a lot of reasons to call off my wedding, but the truth is I didn't care about any of those reasons until I met you, and now you're with someone else, and that's fine, it's -- whatever -- that's not what I'm -- I'm not...

Okay, my feet really hurt.

The thing that I'm just trying to say to you Jim, and to everyone else in the circle I guess, is that I miss having fun with you. Just you, not everyone in the circle. Okay. I am gonna go walk in the water now. Yeah. It's a good day.

Pam! That was amazing! But I am still looking for someone with a sales background.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Maybe they should try out Pam in a sales position next season. She could scarcely do worse than what they've got.

Theo, Scott and I re-watched last night, and I was thinking the same thing. I'd like to see Pam move up in the company. Plus, it would add an interesting dynamic to the ongoing Jim-Pam saga if they were, professionally, on a more even footing.

I know I'm late to the party, but OMG Pam Beesly!!! Is awesome. That was a beautiful scene. Cannot wait until next week.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Pam just rocked in this episode, rocked so much. From wearing her hair differently to being super-snarky to WALKING THROUGH FIRE and then finally, FINALLY speaking her mind--this is pretty much the episode I have waited all season for.

Me, this is. I cried mid Pam's speech. Roughly, when she got to the art show bit, and looked at Jim. Brilliantly constructed moment of TV as it's literally taken all season as a build up.

I know when a TV show rocks when it makes me cry, because that's rare, and it's especially good when there's no soppy music and you just know that's not the intention. I felt every bit of what Pam was saying. Seriously: this show is The Awesome.
