The Lover

Oh boy! Didn't see that coming....Awful episode, thank God for Dwight saving the day. What I definetely didn't expect was the writers stealing the oh so old joke with the "other couple in holidays" from "Friends". Frank'n'Beans ?? Not funny!!

Jeeeeeez Pam really does make this episode hard to get through. Just a whiney cry baby, a terrible performance too by the actress, feels forced and very mediocre.

Jim and Pam are the worst characters in this series. Their hatred for other people, narcisissm and selfishness are simply replusive. This episode is just more of them, in fact this season has way to many of episodes deciated to this despicable couple. I wish Netflix had a feature where you can skip all scenes with a given character.

Every other character has it's own flaws, but they are mostly caricatures. Pam and Jim, on the other hand, are "normal", and this makes their character flaws offputting. Also, starting from season 1, the scenes with those two are in no way funny, they're just boring and sad to watch.

Of course it's not THE best, but the humor is on POINT. Everybody's acting is insanely good, Dwight seems like a genius after all, Jim's reactions are everything and angry Pam is something that i am glad to have witnessed. Michael and Toby had a nice moment, that was VERY unsettling, but i loved it and it paid off greatly. There's just so much to love about this episode..

While it makes sense she'd be really upset, this episode feels pretty out of character for how out of control she gets.
