And Ryan becomes her assistant in NY. After all, she is qualified (probably a MBA grad), made sales, and ATTENDED the interview. The interview was disrupted by Jan/David scene before. It's was just a camera trick that didn't show the conversation between the CFO and her..but showing as if it was Ryan whom he was talking to. That's why Ryan broke of with Kelly. Jim did call or see her before went back to Scranton and she opt to stay with her friends to celebrate. Which was not shown in The Job episode. She would move back to NY (without Jim, of course) and might be in the show occasionally as she now has her own show with NBC. Instead it will be Ryan who will visit Scranton more often and deal with Michael. This will be fun! As for Jim and Pam, they will remain close friends, dating, flirting with so much sexual tension between them, being adorable, and play pranks on Dwight. Roy might be back to the show to win Pam back. Maybe we would see more of Dwight/Angela romance in the Season 4? Kudos to the producers & writers of the show. They deserve the Emmy! ..This is just my opinion. cheers. I think Karen got the job.

EVER! You really hit every nail right on the head. I couldn't agree with you more about the wild ride season 3 was for us all. But the nicest thing was, it all paid off! I am so glad to have discovered this gem of a show called The Office. It is my favorite show, and has actually brought me and a new friend closer together! Thanks for all the great work you have done this year in informing us, making us laugh, and completely delighting us with you commentary. You deserve a Dundie! Larry Lee Moniz Kath,

Ryan at Corporate? Was it just his MBA? because it certainly wasn't his experience... No wonder Staples is kicking their a$$es. I must say, Dunder Mifflin is probably the WORST run company out there.

I have watched it about 15 times since Thursday. I am so happy and giddy. Starting at the beginning, Michael showing up a day early is just so Michael Scott. At least he didn't seem like a total idiot. Now back to Scranton. Karen just OMG! What is wrong with her. Pam had the right to say what she felt and during her little speech at the beach she even mentioned that it was okay that Jim was with Karen. She accepted it and it was fine. Pam did not speak bad about Karen and did not attack her, why did Karen have to call her a bitch? Pam didn't do anything to her. She just missed her friend, there is nothing wrong with that. I loved Kevin, Andy, and Dwight in this episode! Kevin was so funny making his lists about Karen and Pam! Andy being Dwight's number 2 was so crazy. It was almost like he was back to when he was Michael's suck-up! Haha. Dwight was so funny trying to take control of the office. Shrute-bucks! So funny! He seemed really hurt when Stanley said he didn't want any. I loved his connection with Pam in this episode. Oh and Pam "absolutely I do!" haha! Pam saying she wished Jim was there is how I felt. He would have loved to see Dwight trying to take over the office! Haha! Oh I did love the Pam/Jim moment when they saw Jan's boob job! I hated how Karen interrupted it though! The interviews: Michael- I didn't think he was ever going to get the job, but I am surprised that he wasn't a total idiot. I am wondering why they even thought to interview Michael. Karen- She is so quick to turn on everyone isn't she. Look at how fast she turned on Michael when she was asked about what she thought about him "off the record". Karen seemed a little cool sometimes during the season, but this episode all of her bad qualities were present. Jim- I think Jim was a shoe-in I think he had to turn down the job, or withdraw because I think he would have gotten the job. Pam/Jim/Karen: Well we got to see Jim and Karen outside of the office. They aren't a very loving couple it seems. They have fun, but more friend fun than couple fun. Karen just belittles Jim so much I don't understand how he could ever be happy with her. She had him cut his hair because he looked homeless and she made fun of him when they got into New York. Jim is not enough for her, she has to change him. It almost reminds me of Women's Appreciation when Karen said, "every relationship has it's rough spots sometimes you just got to push through it". She pushed Jim through so much and changed so much about him and nothing about her. Pam's note to Jim was perfect Pam/Jim! I mean it was something that would remind him of a better day they had together, a day he was passionate about, and about Pam! Oh and the receptionist at corporate...that part was wonderful, the look of Jim's face! Haha! JAM MOMENT! First date! That was the cutest thing. How Jim asked her out for dinner. I loved Pam's face when she turned back to the camera! I wish we could have had a little more Pam and Jim, but it was still good! Great season finale. I have watched it about 15 times since Thursday.

I mean, last year's cliff hanger was good--but I just didn't want to go through THAT kind of torture again (waiting for fall, I mean). I was freaking out through the whole episode. I literally got mad at Karen for making Jim go to New York early. (I was yelling at her--is that sad?) I then got afraid that it'd be a really lame ending. But then, Jim pulled out Pam's little good luck note. CUTE!!! Then it cut to the beach scene, OHHHH!!! Then, in a state of panic, I was certain Jim would TAKE the job just so he wouldn't hurt Pam again (a moment of insanity on my part). But then, THE TALKING HEAD AT THE END!!! Oh my heck, I was, and still AM, SOOOO HAPPY THAT I JUST WANT TO FLY TO SCRANTON AND HUG THEM BOTH!!! (Except that that cannot happen in real life). I LOVE JAM!!! As for the Ryan thing. Well, I don't really like Ryan anyway, but it totally was an unexpected ending. I can't wait until season four!!! I was so afraid it’d be a cliff hanger like last year.

TOTALLY crying and laughing at the same time at the end! One of the best episodes EVER! Nearly perfect! Random thoughts: Michael showing up on the wrong day. classic. (I did that this week-it was a dr. appt. but still-duh) I've been thinking about this all day and I really loved the part at the beach when Jim said he was back but not all the way back...what a spot-on description for what we've ALL been through with this whole season. Season 3 felt a little off, and I missed the fun Jim from S2. And now it feels, to me, like it's all going to be okay. Not to sound cliche'... I DID have a moment of panic that Jim was going to let Pam down when he asked her out. But, he used the word DATE. That speaks VOLUMES! Did Jim just leave Karen in NYC? Wow. Oh, the goldmedalyogurtlid! sweet! Ryan?! Did not see that coming! That's going to bring much hilarity in S4. Dwight really got a lot done in one day, didn't he? The only thing I didn't really like was Jan has apparently lost her marbles. I liked her tough, career-driven, and bossing Michael around. But, having her move in with Michael is just crazy waiting to happen. So, that's Fun! Such fabulousness! Smiled everytime I thought about it today. I think Jim has ruined me for all others! The haircut? swooon! Can't wait 'til September! OMG! TOTALLY crying and laughing at the same time at the end! One of the best episodes EVER! Nearly perfect!

Normally I wouldn't feel the need to respond to a negative comment, but since it was pointed directly at something I said, I feel that I have to respond. So, Snowballa. I don't think that I or anyone else that is "knocking" Karen's behavior is delusional. Is it a normal response, yes. It's something that many women do everyday: they try to mold their boyfriends into something that they're not and disparage women by whom they feel threatened. It's not malicious, it's just bitchy, which is what I said. It has nothing to do with "my love for Jim and Pam." It has everything to do with tact. Just because it's a normal reaction doesn't mean that it's something that I have to like in a real person or in a fictional character. Isn't that why we like this show in the first place--because the characters are rooted in reality? I have always put my faith in the writers and that they would serve the story in the best way possible, they have always acknowledged the fact that they are fans of Jim and Pam and have trusted them to handle the arc in the best way possible.

What can I say. Everyone here summed it up so beautifully. This was a truly fantastic episode. The only thing I didn't like so much was that they turned Jan into a total crazy person. We used to see her insecurities more bottled up and surpressed, but now she's letting it all hang out there for everyone to see (pun intended). I'm mean come on, "My job could be our relationship. I can wear stretchy pants and wait for you to come home at 5:15." Who is this woman? I did think it was bitchy of Karen to tell Jim not feel sorry for her though, because I really did feel sorry for her. I've been fired and it's not fun. But enough about Michael and Jan. Jim and Pam are back and they couldn't have brought them together more perfectly. After the first flashback and seeing Jim and Karen having fun together in NY, I thought it was over for JAM for sure. But then came the yogurt lid and Jim's far away look and when I saw him driving alone I got really excited and Pam's teary eyed smile of joy was just too much. I think this is the beginning of great things to come for them. The ending with Ryan getting the job confused me, but it was a great twist. They really laid the foundation for a great season 4. Is it September yet? Chiming in a little late, but I came home to internet service interruption and I couldn’t get online all night, so I missed the Buddy Chat :-(

I am still on such a high from last night's episode. Is it weird that I was imagining JAM's first date as I was falling asleep last night? One thing I thought was interesting... we had heard so much about the alternate endings that were filmed for the finale. But Greg Daniels said in the NBC blog after the show that the two endings were (paraphrasing here) different only in HOW they happened and not WHAT happened. For some reason I love that there was such clarity in their decision on haow to end the season. It makes the torture of Jim and Pam's awkwardness this season so much more brilliant and real when you know that the "happy ending" was coming all along. Is it September yet?? WOW!

We never see the social lives of the characters unless they specifically have to do with work ("Cocktails," for example).

If you listen to the commentary from "Casino Night," she says that they darkened the office and brought her in at the last minute, and then brought Jim in right away for the kiss, so she'd still be taking in all the drama and her reaction would be more real. The last scene of the season finale had that same authenticity to it -- from the shocked look on her face when he opened the door, to the instinctive "yes" when he asked her to dinner, to the moment when she lets it sink in, to the tears in her eyes when she tries to compose herself and ask, "I'm sorry, what was the question?" I know Jenna's a fantastic actress, but it all had a very natural, unanticipated quality to it. Brilliant. I wonder if Jenna knew that John was coming through the door?

That. Was. A-Freaking-Mazing!!! I have an Office hangover. I got home at 10, watched it, and was on such an emotional high, I didn't get to sleep until midnight, woke up at 4:30am. But I am sooooo happy. How bitchy was Karen? Oh my word. When Pam and Jim were talking about Jan's new girls, Karen like horns in and totally ruins it, calling Pam a bitch (excuse me pot, my name is kettle), and then the whole "There is one too many people in Scranton." Which means she totally knew that there was still something between them!!!! Oh and then Jim just leaving Karen in New York. Yeah, what kind of girlfriend leaves her boyfriend in a city he has never been in, to go see her friends for lunch while he is in the quite possibly the biggest interview of his life. Oh and the gold medal. My heart was beating so fast. Okay, I can actually work now. Joseph Mary and Martha!!!! That. Was. A-Freaking-Mazing!!! I have an Office hangover. I got home at 10, watched it, and was on such an emotional high, I didn’t get to sleep until midnight, woke up at 4:30am. But I am sooooo happy.

How bitchy was Karen? Oh my word. When Pam and Jim were talking about Jan’s new girls, Karen like horns in and totally ruins it, calling Pam a bitch (excuse me pot, my name is kettle), and then the whole “There is one too many people in Scranton.” Which means she totally knew that there was still something between them!!!! Oh and then Jim just leaving Karen in New York. Yeah, what kind of girlfriend leaves her boyfriend in a city he has never been in, to go see her friends for lunch while he is in the quite possibly the biggest interview of his life.

Okay, I can actually work now.

I will be watching it over and over and over again until my DVR breaks down. How funny was Kelly's reaction to Ryan's "Oh yea. We're done." I was just laughing. Did not expect Ryan to get the job at all. However if you listen to Ryan when Michael asks him to fetch coffee, Ryan's response makes more sense now "I don't do that anymore." Cannot wait for S4!

I thought last night's episode was the BEST! I also started crying when Jim asked Pam on a date -- such wonderful acting from Jenna Fischer. The episode could've ended there and I'd be happy, but the little twist with Ryan getting the corporate job -- WOW! I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING! I wonder how that will bite the Scranton office in the a--. I am so glad the wonderful and taltented writers gave us what they did. I really think I can make it until September without going crazy!

Greg Daniels really fooled me...I could not believe Jan's "big news" was her boob job! I thought she was pregnant, but of course, that would be what an ordinary sitcom would do. This finale was perfect. I enjoyed every moment and every character. The writers really let everyone take a bow. And we finally saw the funny, smart Pam from season two - Jim's partner in crime ("absolutely I do"). I cannot wait to watch their sweet harmony - John and Jenna do it so well. And Ryan????!!!

The only thing better than Jim busting in to ask Pam for dinner was the final look on Pam's face. Having watched the commentaries on the S2 DVD set, we know that Jenna really gets into character. So 'yes' people that was Pam's reaction and Jenna is a fabulous actress for giving it to us as a gift to hold us until September. I'm going to miss my Thursday nights with all my buddies over on BuddyTV - we maybe need to do some midsummer rerun watching together? It just wouldn't have been as Squee without you, Kath, and all the buddies! Here's an air high five to all of you. To sum up, two words, Jim's back. I haven’t come down off the JAM high yet.

Just awesome. These phenomenal writers did not let us down. The yogurt lid Olympic medal and note was genius. Also, I loved how they returned to the beach flashback late in the episode and let us hear what was said. Brilliant, especially after the hollow beach flashback early in the show made us think the JAM storyline was all but over. I love how strong Pam is now. She's even more beautiful, which I didn't think was possible. Someone above put it succintly: Last year, Pam gave Jim a reason to leave. This time she gave him a reason to stay. Totally dawesome.
