I've watched The Office since the beginning. I had watched the British version, and spent the first season of the American version pulling out the DVDs of the British one. But the second season...I was drawn in. Sure, Steve Carell is great in it, and I enjoy a lot of the characters, but I'm a romantic. If there's a couple to ship--any couple, in the world--it's Jim and Pam. So I watch the promos for this week's episode, "Niagara," the episode in which Jim and Pam get married, and I melt. The promos totally make my day.
I watch that and remember going over season two over and over...so many great moments (and a lot of the moments in that promo are from season two), such a classic ending...OK, I have to include it:
Sigh. I could watch it over and over. As well as the confession scene that comes before it.
...Sorry. I just had to watch each of those, like, 50 times. But anyway. It's nice to see that the show's being consistent. They've said for a while that Jim and Pam are clearly compatible. This is where their story logically goes. And they're just going to do it. Huzzah!
And I have to take this time to acknowledge the brilliance of the British Office Christmas Special. I hear "Only You" by Yaz and get all warm and fuzzy. But probably my favorite part is actually around 3:20 of this clip (the last 10 minutes of the special), when Tim talks about coworkers. So true. Oh, Ricky Gervais, I love you.

*sigh* I always get a little misty during that final scene.
It's really remarkable how rich a world Ricky Gervais created in just 13 episodes, and how we as viewers came to care about the Tim/Dawn relationship. Which makes it even more remarkable that the American version managed to replicate the chemistry with Jim/Pam, then take it and make it entirely their own.
Also, as much as I adore Jenna Fischer, I've had a crush on Lucy Davis for the better part of a decade. I was thrilled when I saw they added her to the cast of "Studio 60"...and that much more pissed when it got cancelled. Stupid NBC.
