He was such a badass on OZ, funny to see him play such a wiseass here. Blake Robbins was great, hope they bring him back. He was such a badass on OZ, funny to see him play such a wiseass here.

Nice work writers. Yeah, Tug Coker for sure looks like a brother, and Blake Robbins could pass, but I'm sure being the best actor auditioning for it helped Blake Robbins. I couldn't place him, but then I checked him out on imdb.com and remembered him from Oz. This guy has got serious acting chops, and I guess he does comedy too. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1083077/ I'm expecting a three episode wedding with the brothers involved.

This Season is going to be the best yet! I agree that Pam not coming back until October is way unfair, and Pam thinking that she HAS to impress the Halpert brother is totally untrue in my opinion. Who wouldn't like her? Okay…WOW!!! This Season is going to be the best yet!

There's also an interview online with JKras (linked over at Office Tally) where he talks about some some tensions in the relationship and about the proposal. Everything I'm hearing and reading makes sense and is so realistic when you're in a long-distance relationship, but angst makes me skittish. BUT I'll try to be positive and say that the tension will just have to lead to something extra sweet and romantic. Right? RIGHT?? Oh, my nervousness just turned up to 11.

I'm thankful isn't too detailed. As far as it being october, maybe the office time line and the real world time line aren't going to match up exactly. Maybe this season picks up not so long after "Goodbye, Toby" instead of the traditional model from the past 4 seasons of skipping over what happened in the summer. That would sort of bring back a storyline that had a lot of juice in the first three seasons--the will they, won't they between jim and pam. I wouldn't worry about it going "horribly wrong". Its always weird and awkward meeting girlfriend/boyfriend's family for the first time. I'm sure in classic office style they just turn up the awkwardness a few notches to give us some uncomfortable/funny moments. I think it would be cruel and unusual at this point to have this relationship go south. JAM isn't even my favorite part of the office, but i'll admit its become a big part of the draw for me. There are very few shows in my life where i've grown to really care about what happens to the characters. This is one of them. So what i'm trying to say is--don't screw this up Greg Daniels and company. I have faith though. I tried avoiding office spoilers as much as possible, but i finally gave in.

Considering how painfully close to reality they have made the Pam/Jim relationship, I think that would be a true-to-life plot turn that completely makes sense. We've all been that person, and we've all done that to someone, I think. Then again, it might just end up being somewhat of a "Meet the Parents" redux, "Office"-style, which would be much more hilarious. :D I think it would be quite connected to reality if Jim’s family was holding a grudge against Pam over past heartbreaks.

When she goes off to art school, he loses that connection with her and becomes insecure, especially since she's loving NYC so much. Things get a bit rocky while trying to make the long-distance thing work, and she needs to show Jim she's still in it 100%. Thus, she calls in the brothers. On a separate but related note, I'm excited for this season of The Office, but nervous as well. I don't want to see Jim and Pam angst again. There was enough of that in Season 3. I don't know if I can handle the ups and downs the writers keep referring to. Ugh!
