Review: 'The Office' - 'Paper Airplane': Eye on Scranton
A quick review of last night's "The Office" coming up just as soon as I place an ad on Craigslist...
The comedy parts of "Paper Airplane" were so dire I'm not going to dwell on them at all, other than to again wish that Andy had just stayed on the boat forever, and that the show never does Ed Helms any favors when they hand him Michael Scott material.
Instead, I want to focus on the one part of the season that's been consistently interesting, if not always pleasant: Jim and Pam hitting the first sustained bump in their relationship. It's good to have them finally talking, even in strained, therapized language, since their reluctance to communicate (Jim by taking the job in secret, Pam by not objecting much sooner) caused this problem in the first place. And I thought John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer were both terrific in the final scene with the umbrella: Jim hanging onto Pam for dear life, terrified of losing her, and the gesture in turn reminding Pam how much they loved each other when they got married, which was enough for her to finally reciprocate the hug. I know some people thought the moment — and the flashback to "Niagara" — felt unearned, but it really worked for me, particularly at the end of another season 9 episode I watched more out of obligation than entertainment.
What did everybody else think? Did you laugh at Angela's new apartment or Andy at the eyewash station? Did you buy the Jim and Pam hug, and/or Erin's insanely competitive streak?
The Office, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Rainn Wilson, Ed Helms, Alan Sepinwall
Bri (guest)Spot-on about Ed Helms regarding Michael Scott material. It just never works. The airplane contest was in the Office Olympics vein, so I kind of enjoyed that, particularly with the Dwight-Angela angle. The Jim-Pam stuff isn't perfect, but I feel like it's something the show should have explored long ago.April 26, 2013 at 9:33AM ESTReply to Comment
Andy (guest)I ended up having a real problem with most of The Office and had to stop watching early in season nine...
It was just too painful and excruciating to not only see what it had become but to just bear in general terms.
I, however, wish there was a way I could watch just "Jim and Pam's: The Office" and none of the remaining trainwreck. Instead I have to live off reading such reviews and recaps to see what's happened and will inevitably check back in for the final episode having happily missed a lot of action and then not so happily a little bit of the rest.April 26, 2013 at 9:34AM ESTReply to Comment

Ed Johnson-Ott (guest)Jim and Pam's moment didn't feel earned, but I didn't care. At this point, I just want to see the characters get a happy ending.April 26, 2013 at 9:37AM ESTReply to Comment
gsmith140Yeah, I often agree with Alan, but I have to take issue here. This moment just felt a little rushed. They make basically no progress as a couple over the last couple episodes, then they just have an epiphany. It's possible, sure, it just felt a little rushed for me.April 26, 2013 at 9:50AM EST
MKI dunno, I feel like Jim really realized how upset Pam was there near the end and knew things were hanging over a cliff. His actions there at the end before leaving the office built up nicely to the moment where he hugged Pam for dear life. Now if Pam were to instantly hug him back, I would have agreed, but her long reluctance built up nicely to her finally letting the anger go.April 26, 2013 at 10:39AM EST
Col Bat GuanoThis is about the fourth episode this season where the final shot leads you to believe that they are going to finally hash out their differences. I won't be surprised at all if next week we come back and Jim is still acting like a frat boy and Pam is controlling and vindictive. Nothing about why they are having these problems has been defined beyond "Jim wants to move while Pam hates the idea." Hey writers, how about some clue as to what each of the characters is thinking so we don't just start to hate them?April 26, 2013 at 10:49AM EST
Dave II do not think they would have a "happy ending" to be honest. I know, they're America's couple (or something). Still, they fundamentally want different things. To me, it would be much more compelling to watch them separate. Not because I want that, just because at this point it seems like the only thing that makes sense for the characters and the story. I think they are (or were) realizing they really want different things in life and are heading in starkly different directions, especially with the realization how much of their relationship is due to Jim driving their relationship while disregarding Pam.
To me the end moment felt unearned, rushed, and the show completely threw me. I just do not believe you resolve issues that quickly and that (seemingly at least) absolutely just by deciding to hug each other.
Consider how far apart they are both in their relationship and their desires for where their lives end up. At this point, the only thing that makes sense is amicable divorce. The network and showrunners are likely not going that direction. However, it would be a lot more meaningful and realistic to watch their relationship play out as seems natural than just to give up yet another cliche' happy ending. Maybe I am wrong, however it will seem hollow if we just see them realize how much they love each other after all they've gone through and just cleanly resolve everything. I suppose we'll see in a few weeks. For right now, I am flat-out not buying it.
-CheersApril 26, 2013 at 11:01AM EST
sajid anwarI agree with Col Bat Guano. Few weeks back they had a episode end with Jim and Pam vowing to hash things out when they went home. The very next episode, Pam was telling Jim that she doesn't want to move and Jim acted like it was the shock of the century. I guess that fight wasn't an appropriate time for Pam to mention that she doesn't want to move to Philly. Makes no damn sense.April 26, 2013 at 11:28AM EST
rjsYes, they want different things. But the heart of The Office is that Jim and Pam love each other above all else. Maybe Jim is starting to see that he's behaving like Roy did back when he was with Pam... "well, I've decided this is what's best, so of course this is what we're doing." You can kind of see that realization dawn on him as he walked up to her and grabbed her. No wonder she's so angry. I think Jim will realize that Pam is worth much more to him than any job--even his dream job-- and Pam will realize that Jim's happiness is more important than where they live, and they'll come to some sort of compromise. Yes, many marriages do end in divorce under these kinds of circumstances. But some marriages stay strong, and work through bumps in the road. It's a rare kind of love, but it does exist, and in the first few years of the series, that love was demonstrated by these two. I only hope the writers come up with a conclusion worthy of these characters, and worthy of these actors.April 26, 2013 at 11:36AM EST
Col Bat GuanoI'm still not clear on what Pam wants and why she is so adamant against the Philly move. The show's failure to give her a rational motivation is killing this whole story for me.
There is absolutely no way they end the show with them divorced though both because of the requirements of network TV and because their unexplained problems don't seem insurmountable.April 26, 2013 at 1:01PM EST
Dave I@RJS, I think the heart of The Office is Jim & Pam. Sure, they love each other. However... That is not always enough.
You mention "I think Jim will realize that Pam is worth much more to him than any job--even his dream job-- and Pam will realize that Jim's happiness is more important than where they live, and they'll come to some sort of compromise."
Maybe. That just does not feel like it is the direction they were heading. Plus, as of now I do not see being happy giving up his (perhaps literal) dream job in Philadelphia to stay in Scranton, and they have set it up that Pam will not be happy uprooting her family to follow Jim to Philly. Granted, they could show us in a way that I'd buy it.
Still, if you look at their problems and their previous actions, them coming to some compromise seems like, well, something that would happen because a room full of nostalgic writers wrote it that way and not because that is how the characters and their actions would actually play out based on where they are going.
To me, at least as of now and this season, The Office is about what happens to Jim & Pam. I am more than fine with them divorcing. At least with the story they have told thus far, that makes the most sense and feels like what would happen. In another show, this could easily be the story about the birth, life, and death of a relationship, which I think most of us have probably seen happen even with the seemingly most perfect couples who sincerely loved each other, yet ultimately were on some level incompatible.

Lee HarveyI can't believe this is they way they have apparently tied up the Jim and Pam storyline this season. Feels like almost no thought went into it.April 26, 2013 at 3:16PM EST
RobFor the whole Jim-Pam storyline to have worked this season, they would have had to start, at the very latest, halfway through last season. Slowly show cracks forming without you even realizing it, then start this season off with the culmination of all that. Because of how quickly everything went bad for them, there's just no way anybody could believe they are going to break up. And if they do end up splitting up it would feel completely unearned and therefore I can't imagine anybody would feel satisfied with that.
One more thing, with the revelation that the final episode will take place months after the documentary airs as they all reunite for a wedding, I really hope they don't have Jim and Pam split up before the finale and then get back together at the wedding. That would not only be incredibly lame, but would be such an abvious call back to the U.K. Christmas special.April 26, 2013 at 3:41PM EST
PaulI feel like it wasn't so much that the moment was earned or anything like that. I think Alan actually hit it spot on -- Jim grabbed her and held on for dear life. Pam didn't get it for a second. Then she did. It isn't that they've made progress or are ok now. It's just that they know there are issues that are really bad that they have to work through, but that they definitely still love each other. And all the acknowledgement and all the opportunity stuff they did the whole episode I kept saying they never said they loved each other. Most notably, when Jim was leaving, he didn't say I love you. It was a glaring, glaring thing.
I'm a dude, I'm married, and I know my wife and I's marriage isn't perfect. I feel like the writers are writing this REALLY honestly, and the problems and successes of couples therapy. So much of it...I mean there's just so much you can fight for that's WORTH fighting for if you still love each other and TELL each other that you love the other. AND MEAN IT. I mean...the hug and the kiss was powerful, but the lack of Jim and Pam even mentioning love this episode (and going back several more, I imagine) them saying they loved each other and the way they said it and the way they said it together...that was really a nice piece of acting. They got me there.
Or I'm just a big sap. That's also possible.April 26, 2013 at 4:09PM EST
DezbotI might be a big sap, too, as ITA with your post, Paul :-)April 26, 2013 at 5:41PM EST
Dave I@Rob, while I can see your point, the one place where you lost me was:
"And if they do end up splitting up it would feel completely unearned and therefore I can't imagine anybody would feel satisfied with that."
I completely disagree. It feels very earned to me. I see it as Jim's moving being a bit of a catalyst symbolic of how he's run their relationship with no consideration for Pam's wishes. Plus, the stress since this time Jim did something completely different from Pam's ultimate wishes, and the resulting time away from each other and the kids (for Jim at least) all seems pretty real and earned to me. Granted, yes, we could/should have seen cracks before if they wanted to foreshadow more. However, maybe there were no cracks because they could gloss over everything when their lives seemed on the same trajectory. Now that they are not (and despite "the hug", they are not), the stress starts to pull them apart.
For me, their marriage breaking up after they both make somewhat selfish decisions, while both admitting they have no intention of compromising (or if they do, they seem content to be miserable/bitter with the consequences), kind of seems to make sense. It's not that I'm against their happy ending, it just feels wrong that they would turn it around so abruptly and so thoroughly after they painted the relationship being so cracked on some levels. It feels like they were telling a different story, and because it is network television they are pulling it out of the relationship nosedive just in time (and feeling rather abrupt to me) for the finale and their happy ending. For some reason, it is really not working for me.
-CheersApril 26, 2013 at 8:14PM EST
Dave I@Paul, I agree with most of that. The writing seemed honest and the acting was nicely done. Until the flashback and the hug. Not that it happened (the hug, the flashback was tripe), just HOW it happened and the convenient way it seems to be rehabbing their marriage. I thought they had played Jim & Pam's problems pretty honestly and real. I also get the hug was real and saying what words couldn't. Yet... It seemed too, well, network-cliche'. Plus, it was too abrupt. Maybe it worked for everybody else. My wife and I hated it. It felt like they wrote a story that logically ended up with Jim & Pam divorcing because their lives were going two incompatible directions. This about-turn seems too convenient. Perhaps I'm too jaded from seeing so many divorces. However, in today's age under these circumstances, that is kind of what happens. I am afraid anything else will come across insincere.
-CheersApril 26, 2013 at 8:21PM EST
Jaxemer11@Dave I I'm sorry, but that is just dumb. This is the first time they have ever fought with each other, and the reason is idiotic. You really think Pam's attachment to a stupid paper company is a good reason to break up a marriage? Come on. Pam is just scared and they need to communicate with each other. What kind of commitment would these people have to each other if they caused something as idiotic as this to break up their marriage. To say that this is a good reason to break up makes marriage completely meaningless.April 26, 2013 at 9:42PM EST
Dave I@Jaxemer11, no, I think Pam's attachment to Scranton, her lifestyle in general, a job above secretary, and having a marriage where she gets a say in where they live and what happens to their family is probably enough to make her finally take a stand. I think it goes waaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond any sort of "attachment to a stupid paper company." It has everything to do with fundamentally wanting different things. Jim wants to uproot their family to follow his dream. And he basically set that plan into action without consulting his wife. Then, lo and behold, they have marriage problems. It is not "idiotic." He basically (scratch that, quite literally) lied to her about the job, took it, then told her after it was a done deal. She played the part, let him (reluctantly), then resented him for it. Meanwhile, they are spending months largely apart under a great deal of stress and have set themselves up for A) Jim being forced to give up his longstanding dream of getting out of the paper biz consequently for his other dream, apparently, of starting his own sports business, or B) Pam being forced to uproot her family from a life she was comfortable with and perhaps forced to go back to being some sort of glorified secretary (yet again) while having virtually no say. This also goes back to the fundamental problem; Pam has had just about no say in any of the major decisions in their marriage.
I think you are underestimating how deep this actually could be. People break up marriages of things like this. It is about the kind of lives they want to live and what sort of role they want in their relationships. That is not to say marriage is completely meaningless. It is to say they are fighting over something much more than a superfluous misunderstanding or a spat. My sister and brother-in-law actually had a similar situation. They are not divorced, however it continues to put a HUGE strain on their marriage, even now several years later. In part, my brother-in-law took a job that caused him to move the family away and my sister resents him for it.
So I believe it is more than Pam's attachment to Dunder Mifflin. It is her attachment to her life and how her and Jim USED to be but are not any more and have not really been for quite some time. Not to mention where they certainly seem to be going, both professionally/geographically and in their relationship and how they deal with each other. People get divorced for much less these days. While I do not agree with it, this has the classic signs of divorce and I have seen it happen quite often. In a world where people divorce at ~60%, that is the reality of things.
-CheersApril 26, 2013 at 11:56PM EST
Rob@Paul I guess my point is that I never really bought that Pam & Jim were ever in danger of breaking up. I'm not saying that the reasons presented to us weren't good enough, but the timing of it was the problem.
Knowing that this was the final season it became clear to me very early that they were trying to manufacture drama by pleasing fans who had gotten bored with the Halpert's perfect marriage. I haven't, and still don't, believed there was any chance of them breaking up, but rather just a desperate attempt to create drama and try to lure viewers back, which hasn't worked very well.
I agree that the problems presented are plenty, and also realistic, to cause them to reevaluate their marriage. I simply think because they waited until what everyone knew was the final season to begin showing us any signs of trouble, it just seemed from the start like a disingeuous attempt at creating drama.
I also believe they needed to show more of their home life if we were to really become invested in their marital woes. I know The Office doesn't show much home life, but this seemed like the perfect reason to do so. The workplace would seem like the place where the least drama would happen in a marriage on the rocks, yet we never get a glimpse at what is going on in their personal lives.
So, for me atleast, my problem isn't really with the reasons presented for their possible separation/divorce, but the timing of it all.April 27, 2013 at 5:00AM EST
Rob*@Dave not PaulApril 27, 2013 at 2:39PM EST
Kmarko@Dave, have to disagree with your take, although your point about people getting divorced for less is unquestionably true. But just based on this fictional world, to me the writers have simply created no credible reason for Pam's unhappiness. Her job? Seriously? I'm still unclear on what precisely that is--when she was typing at the end, I thought, "what could she possibly be typing?" Maybe an email to her mother. What else is motivating her? The company? Scranton? Nor does "having to put the kids to bed by myself" strike me as a particularly daunting challenge.
So the only issue she could have here is that Jim didn't tell her about his play at the outset. (Which he naturally should have, and would have.) But that's over--and any lingering resentment she has about that should be played out. Now it's "I don't want to move" which is so gobsmackingly pointless/selfish that it creates no feeling in me other than resentment towards Pam, and annoyance at the entire storyline. He hugs her at the end and she hesitates? Rather than feel moved, I felt a vague irritation.
Point being, Pam and Jim splitting would seem ridiculous to me based on this, but it's not creating a "happy ending" feeling for me either. I'm hoping the last episode can conjure up something.April 28, 2013 at 9:15AM EST
Dave I@Rob, I can agree with all of that. Except... I think if we take the situation as-developed, it makes sense to me that they could divorce. Yes, the timing is convenient, and yes we should have seen cracks earlier and away from the office. Still, I can agree with your overall analysis.
@KMarko, actually, If I am recalling correctly Jim HAD told Pam about his job and they both decided he would not take it. Then he did. The overall resentment (to me, and pretty much from what Jim admitted) is the realization Jim has pretty much been in charge of their lives since the onset, and now is uprooting her from EVERYTHING (not just her job) and she feels forced to comply. That set off resentment and Jim changing, all while living apart and dealing with the stress of starting up a new (and potentially high-risk) business for Jim and raising two kids by yourself for Pam. Plus, they are going away from their friends, family, and any support network they may have. Kinda crummy for Jim to do without even running it past his wife. It also feels like the passion is largely gone from their marriage.
That said, I'm fine with people disagreeing with me. I just think them living happily ever after would be boring, and I can see this being symptomatic of all sorts of other problems with their relationship. Granted, they should have sold us on that earlier. I thought that was part of the deal with the camera-guy; foreshadowing a possible outside love interest for Pam since the passion had died between her and Jim. At this point, I think it will take almost a miracle for me to feel satisfied with however they end it, especially if it comes across as cliche' or predictable enough that it ends up being what I thought it would be months ago.

Col Bat Guano"The overall resentment (to me, and pretty much from what Jim admitted) is the realization Jim has pretty much been in charge of their lives since the onset"
Other than purchasing the house without telling her (a really dumb TV idea from the start), how has Jim been in charge this whole time? When Pam decided to go to New York and he fully supported her? Or when she quit on a whim to go with Michael? The idea that Jim has been bossing her around all these years is completely unsupported by any evidence. And the idea that 9 months later she is still hanging onto the resentment that he took the job without telling her didn't do her any favors either.February 21, 2014 at 2:30PM EST
Alex (guest)The scene with Angela in the small, dirty apartment with her baby was probably the most mean-spirited story The Office has ever done. I understand it was done to create the "plot" (plot being a relative word for The Office these days), but why did the show producers think it would be funny? Newborn baby in a small apartment with 6 cats: hilarious!April 26, 2013 at 9:39AM ESTReply to Comment
EMMAAnd why is she so broke, anyway?? She was managing just fine on her own before she got together with the Senator - now they separate and she's suddenly destitute?
Surely she'd have her own savings, not to mention some sort of contribution from him???April 26, 2013 at 9:49AM EST
GBKEmma, I wondered the same thing. She had her own place and who knows how many cats before the baby/senator. I know the expense of the baby would add to her obligations, but it seems like the Senator would be helping her with that. It made no sense at all.April 26, 2013 at 9:57AM EST
Jobin00Even if Angela was poor prior to the Senator, she would obviously take him to the cleaners in any divorce settlement.
Weak sight gag joke with the apartment, that made no sense.
Also, Angela saying she doesn't want to be someone who marries for money/status (referring to Dwight and his newly inherited farm), is ridiculous when all she did for 2 seasons is bring up the SENATOR by calling him the SENATOR every time she opened her mouth.April 26, 2013 at 10:13AM EST
brianNot that this is saying much, but I actually thought the part where the cats surrounded the baby was the funniest part of the episode. Once again, not high praise I know.April 26, 2013 at 11:20AM EST
rainman90"Also, Angela saying she doesn't want to be someone who marries for money/status (referring to Dwight and his newly inherited farm), is ridiculous when all she did for 2 seasons is bring up the SENATOR by calling him the SENATOR every time she opened her mouth."
That's the joke.April 26, 2013 at 12:54PM EST
Jaxemer11On her being poor ... she didn't have a baby before, so that would make a difference. Kids cost money. Still, I don't think it would make THAT much difference. Maybe her cats reproduced and she is blowing all her money on cat food.April 26, 2013 at 9:46PM EST
David (guest)The final scene was DEFINITELY unearned. I'm wondering if, after all the negative feedback they received regarding the BS with Brian and ruining TV's favorite couple, they decided to abandon the storyline altogether. It sure felt like the writers just said, "eff it, we'll undo the mess we made." Everyone knew all along they wouldn't break them up or have either of them cheat, so this has felt like an incredibly pointless exercise. I'm more interested in Dwight and Angela getting together than I am Jim and Pam reconciling.April 26, 2013 at 9:43AM ESTReply to Comment
NickIt's quite obvious you missed the purpose of the final scene. Like many people have already posted, the hug and kiss wasn't a quick fix to all of their problems. The problems are still there, the writers are simply reaffirming their love to one another.
Neither of us can say for sure if the writers want to try to wrap up the spiral now or let it continue, but it is most definitely not a cop-out. If anything, it is a very natural scene that manifests from Jim and Pam's coupled stress and love.
Also, just because you expect the couple not to divorce or otherwise irreparably fall apart is no fault on the writers. Good stories don't always have to have unpredictable twists to tell a good narrative, especially coupled with an abstracted suspension of disbelief among the majority of the audience.
But don't get me wrong, I'm not enjoying their relationship from this season. Call me an airhead, but I would have better liked their more stable marriage perhaps only with a few bumps to keep things interesting. That way, the rest of the time could be kept making us laugh (and no, the new Andy subplot is more painful than it is humorous). Regardless of how their marriage ultimately stands in the finale, it's going to leave a bitter taste in my mouth not because I can't handle "reality", so to speak, but because it is so uncharacteristically prolonged for what I love from comedies.April 26, 2013 at 11:52PM EST

Chris (guest)By and large, I thought the episode was terribly unfunny. I instinctively cringe the moment Andy shows up on the screen now, and I thought Roseanne grabbing his cheeks was a highlight just because it caused him pain. Likewise, the Dwight/Angela subplot didn't work for me, nor did Erin's freakout.
I thought the Jim/Pam subplot was okay; once they got away from Brian-the-boom-mic-guy (have they?) and embraced the fact that Jim and Pam have troubles they just need to work through, it's become very interesting and real (if very hard to watch as a married man), even if half the time I'm shouting at them "you feel this way because you're married and you're both bad communicators!". But that moment at the end just felt raw and real in a way the show has in is best moments, and I was honestly moved.
One ding on that though: the quick flash of Steve Carrell in the flashback just made me think of how much I miss Michael Scott.April 26, 2013 at 9:50AM ESTReply to Comment

Matt (guest)None of the Pam/Jim stuff has worked for me this year. The Pam character that I've been watching for 8 years would have happily moved 2-hours away to Philly so Jim would have a shot at his dream job. The whole rift in their marriage feels completely manufactured. I'm definitely with you about watching the show out of a sense of obligation. It is a bad, bad show these days.April 26, 2013 at 10:00AM ESTReply to Comment
MegThis is my issue too--it's not that Pam and Jim are fighting, that could have been interesting. It's that I am 10,000% on Jim's side. Yes his hours are tough on Pam and the kids and sacrifices have to be made. But he's trying to build something for himself and their family, and she's acting insane. She wants him to stay in his crappy Dunder Miflin job forever? Even Michael Scott moved away for his relationship, and Pam can't? GMAFB. If the show ends with him quitting and them in Scranton I will scream.April 26, 2013 at 10:26AM EST
Brian1000% agree. They have completely ruined Pam for me, formally the most likeable character on the show.April 26, 2013 at 11:24AM EST
ed wDidn't she once say in a talking head that she'd kill herself if she didn't make it out of Scranton? Obviously not literally but the point is she wouldn't be this rigid about it.April 26, 2013 at 12:01PM EST
KenRight, completely. I wouldn't say I'm even 100% on Jim's side - in the context of the stupid manufactured situation they're in, Pam's not completely wrong about how much it sucks he's never around -- but it's not like she didn't go away to attend art school, or as if she's wedded to working at this stupid paper company for the rest of their lives. She got promoted into sales, not into some executive slot; it's not like Jim's saying "leave your CAREER to come to Philadelphia because I've got a great new career that's more important than yours," it's "leave your TERRIBLE JOB to move a whopping two hours away so that we can both have a much better and more satisfying life, and to whatever extent you might be good at sales, which we don't really see much of on screen anyway, they probably have career options for you there as freakin' well."
Ugh, it's just STUPID.April 26, 2013 at 12:21PM EST
brianThey could have had her at least say something along the lines of "my parent live here, and I want our kids to grow up near them." I'm not even sure I understand what her reason for not moving is, other than some amorphous, "I like our life here."April 26, 2013 at 1:20PM EST
JimShe's dug her heels in because he has made some big decisions without consulting her (buying his folks house, taking the job even though she didn't like the idea).

Col Bat GuanoBut that doesn't make her reasons particularly sympathetic. Holding onto the house buying incident to add onto her dislike of the Philly job just increases the pettiness factor.April 26, 2013 at 2:22PM EST
DarkdougWhile in principle, I agree that Jim has acted a bit too unilaterally for a married man and a father, the flip side is that he's married to Pam who is a little passive about stuff, and is kind of a ditherer. That was practically the first character trait established about her, and an occasional impetuous decision, like going to art school or joining the Michael Scott Paper Company, does not undo that aspect of her character. She let her first engagement drag on for years (and from what we have seen of Roy in his current relationship, that cannot be pinned 100% on him); she even did some of that passive silence with Roy, in the older talking heads she discusses some of his more thoughtless actions, which she apparently stood by and tolerated without making her feelings clear to him.
Yes, Jim was absolutely wrong to jump into a brand new job, with a family to support, and investing a substantial amount in a start up company without consulting with his wife. On the other hand, a slight mitigation must be accepted by the fact that if he had not got into the habit of doing things on his own initiative, he and Pam might still be engaged, childless, and living in different apartments.
They both have good points, they both have made mistakes, and there isn't a realistic easy way out of their current situation, unless Athlead suddenly becomes a smash success in a way that makes his involvement much easier on the family, or completely fails, forcing Jim to come back to Dunder Mifflin (but maybe wrangling a better salary/title situation out of the switch). Maybe he can replace Andy when the latter leaves for NY or LA to chase his big acting break. David Wallace was part of the same management that had plans for Jim's advancement back when, and it would be a sort of full circle thing for the series to end with Jim in the manager's office, and all the parallels or similarities hinted at between him and Michael over the years finally being realized.April 26, 2013 at 3:05PM EST
Jaxemer11Exactly right ... none of it was true to their characters (or the characters of any rational human being ... and these characters have always been played as the only rational people at this office).April 26, 2013 at 9:50PM EST
KmarkoPam being attached to her job is completely unbelievable--is she even IN sales anymore? Didn't she move on to some vague "office manager" job? The fact that I'm unsure, and have watched every episode, illustrates how lame a justification her job would be for her unhappiness (or I'm just dense, there's that.)
I also take issue with Pam or viewers bringing the house purchase into this, which she unequivically loved. Now I personally think that was a pretty outrageous thing for Jim to do, but Pam was over the moon about it--"you bought me a HOUSE!"
So if anything, that would have emboldened Jim here, to not say anything until things were definite/underway. ("You bought a COMPANY! Yaaay!")
Her unhappiness simply makes no sense. And even worse, it's being presented that she is justified here--slow in returning the hug, demanding Jim hang up the work call, etc.
Ugh. It's just not working.April 28, 2013 at 9:29AM EST
Col Bat GuanoI agree that bringing up the house purchase now, four years later, seems more like point scoring than a legitimate reason for Pam to oppose the move. The idea that they are still debating Jim's job six months in just feels like a TV marriage problem at this point.April 28, 2013 at 2:11PM EST
jimmybing (guest)I've hated the entire Jim/Pam breakup storyline since it started this season. Especially after the show dragged the audience through five seasons of "will they/won't they." To pull this now means one of two things: It's never going to go anywhere, so all the show is doing is wasting everyone's time. Or, the show hates its audience, and this is its final "screw you" before going off the air. Either way, I'm kind of hating the show right now. I expect this sort of behavior from Big Love, but not The Office.April 26, 2013 at 10:03AM ESTReply to Comment
Timm SNot much to say about the non-Jim/Pam material, except that we have family airplane flying contests--with Distance/Style/Design categories--and it's glorious. Try it.
But to the core of the episode. Honestly, it laid me out, and felt very "earned" to me. And emotionally honest. They're trying, they're doing the work, they're baby stepping, and it's just not working. I thought they played the desperation that accompanies being in that specific place very well. She's hurt and scared, and he's terrified, and they both know what's looming if they don't make it right, which only ups the tension in the way they talk. Yes, it all looks extremely familiar, and it sucks. When you can't do the one thing you always could do, which is just be a fan of the other (in their case), romance or no, it's a really scary and hopeless place. I thought the interactions were honest, and the actors played the hell out of it.
Not for nothing, Clark Duke had a really great scene break asking Jim/Pam if they were high. Enough of a tension cutter without going over the top.April 26, 2013 at 10:09AM ESTReply to Comment
Fleetwood Mac Sex PantsTotally agree on the Clark Duke line. It was the only real laugh I got in the whole episode and made me wish he were more prominent in the show. It played on the goofy therapy-speak and was pretty unexpected. That man needs more work!April 26, 2013 at 11:39AM EST
DezbotAgreed here on Clark Duke's lines, too. That was the only part that had me laughing out loud.April 26, 2013 at 5:43PM EST

Meg (guest)Why are Jim and Darryl still working at DM at all? It seems like Jim's new company is thriving and supports many full time employees. When Darryl was pained by Andy's shenanigans (weren't we all!?) and complaining about wanting to go home I yelled at my tv "go then! You have another job!!"April 26, 2013 at 10:29AM ESTReply to Comment
BrettI wonder if the people saying the final scene was "unearned" are married. It felt realistic to me. Sometimes, no matter how much you argue or go through rough times, there comes a point where you remember you love each other. Their struggles to communicate verbally were rough, but that hug was all the communication they need right now.April 26, 2013 at 10:48AM EST
Col Bat GuanoWell, I'm married and while you do get to those points when going through rough times, it doesn't take six months to get there and they still haven't articulated what the problem is. Pam just refusing to consider going without giving us any justification makes her seem petty and unlike the character we've watched for 8 seasons. And they could still return to them fighting next episode without any resolution, as they have done several times already this season.April 26, 2013 at 10:55AM EST
JimCBG - She has given a reason. He keeps making decisions without consulting her or directly opposite what she wanted. There have been clues all along in her talking head shots. They are more apparent on a re-watch which I know most people will not do because of the perceived downfall of the show.April 26, 2013 at 1:45PM EST
Col Bat GuanoThis just doesn't strike me a legitimate reason to keep opposing the move. "You didn't ask me so I refuse to consider it." is childish and selfish. There needs to be something with more content than that or she is going to come off badly, as she has so far.April 26, 2013 at 2:24PM EST
Greg (guest)I was liking the Jim/Pam storyline, but ever since that God awful Bryan storyline came up, there was nothing for me to enjoy about the show and I was just watching out of loyalty and because the show is ending really soon. As for this final scene, I had very mixed feelings: it was definitely unearned, but it was at least well executed enough that I could appreciate it somewhat.
I just wish that this season had little to no comedy and that they would have taken a radically more human approach with those characters, because that's where the show's strengths were in this season (the episode where Angela hires a guy to kill Oscar is a perfect example of that - incredibly ridiculous premisse, but the human approach to Angela's pain of being cheated made everything miraculously work). It's not like they had anything to lose, since they didn't need to worry about ratings anymore.April 26, 2013 at 10:37AM ESTReply to Comment
CVALI'm at the point with this show where the kid Clark is the only one who makes me laugh.April 26, 2013 at 10:41AM ESTReply to Comment
Dave IThis episode just felt terrible.
The airplane competition was stupid, start-to-finish. We get it that Kevin's functionally retarded; that got old for me pretty early on and has not been funny since Holly's "Math is hard" line. Erin's competitive nature was just awkward (and not in a good way), while reminding us that they really did not need to have the Erin-and-Pete connection if they were not going to do anything with it. Kind of like Brian the camera guy and his apparent crush on Pam; I am not sure if that was misdirection or just sloppy writing, but it seems like they interjected these plotlines (and characters) without knowing what to do with them.
Andy . . . As much as I like Ed Helms, this show has completely mishandled the character of Andy and Ed Helms' acting ability. He's Michael Scott, and it does not work. Ever.
Dwight and Angela. Please no. Let Dwight just continue romancing the hot farm girl. I could give a crap about their love angle (although the apartment full of cats flocking to the baby provided a mild laugh). That might have had some resonance a year or two ago. Maybe. Now, it just seems so obvious, tired, played-out, forced, and does not work for me at all.
Finally, Jim and Pam. I did not buy it. They really should get divorced. I know that is probably not the angle they are going for. However, they both want two different things and their marriage is built on... Well, what IS it built on? A longstanding crush where Jim forced Pam's hand, arguably for the best considering her relationship with Roy, yet still being the aggressor or proactive force while Pam remained passive. Now, Jim has his dream job which he seems unable to let go of, while Pam has deep ties to Scranton that she seems resentful toward Jim for potentially causing her to uproot. They want different things. They have fundamental problems in their marriage, which up to now they have actually done a pretty fine job of showing. Yet, one tender gesture and bam! Hug it out, everything is o.k.
My problem is two-fold. First, it was too abrupt. Not that they should have "milked it out." Just, these things take time. Obviously we will see how it plays out, yet this seems too convenient while ignoring how deep their issues are, as per Jim's note they'd need a lot more than therapy if Pam tried to make him give up his job in Philadelphia, not to mention leaving us hanging with the Brian-the-camera-guy angle. If those things were not all that important, or so easily resolved, why bring them up?
Frankly, this was a huge disappointment. Roughly 2/3 of the episode was painful to watch. The other 1/3 was going well until they resolve with a hug. And a flashback. It is sad the highlight of the show may have been that I got to see Michael Scott in the flashback (which, sorry, was unearned). Now that there is no obvious tension in the Jim-and-Pam dynamic since they're obviously going to work things out and live happily ever after, what is the point of the show? Sadly, none of the other unresolved threads particularly interest me at this point, and while I may be way off in my postulating, the directions they are going seem pretty obvious and boring considering how little I care about the characters or this show at this point. It makes me a little sad to admit that, and I watch it pretty much out of habit and obsession with following through with shows to the end, yet that's where I stand. I wish this would have ended earlier and stronger a couple of seasons ago, give or take.

BrianThe Kevin stuff is such a bummer to me. He was a great character in Seasons 1 and 2. There was a talking head at one point early on where Kevin said he won a World Series of Poker bracelet in the past. Now he can't make a paper airplane. So frustrating.April 26, 2013 at 11:27AM EST
JimJust because they hugged it out doesn't mean they are on the road to happiness.April 26, 2013 at 1:48PM EST
Dave I@Jim, Fair enough. Because they hugged it out after the flashback of the wedding to show how much they really, truly loved each other means they are on the road to happiness. Otherwise, why show it and set it up that way?
I hated the flashback by the way, in part because it pretty much projected how things will end without showing us documentary-style and took away (or at least certainly seemed to) any tension or uncertainty.

GLC9 (guest)Worst hatchet job to a successful series in TV history? These last two seasons have been painful, the only joy I have is that it's finally, finally, finally ending.April 26, 2013 at 11:15AM ESTReply to Comment
AmyBee21I agree that the "comedy" of the episode isn't worth talking about. But I did think The Jim and Pam stuff was interesting. It was obvious from the beginning of the ep that the therapy talk was not working at all and was just another way for them to NOT communicate. Their big scene at the end was earned, but just barely. Thinking about it after the fact I can be more critical about it, but in the moment I did get sucked in and they even got a few tears out of me.
I actually thought the flashback to the wedding was overkill - there's enough history with J&P that I don't think the audience needed the hand-holding of the show saying "hey, remember when they got married and were happy?!". The way their scene in the parking lot was filmed was already reminding me of Jim's confession to Pam in Casino Night and made me think remember how much we were pulling for them as a couple even way before they *were* a couple.
It was heavy handed but ended up being effective for me anyway.April 26, 2013 at 11:15AM ESTReply to Comment

Printin' Mike (guest)The precipitating factors leading to the relationship bump in the first place felt false. (Jim wants to move out of a horrible job at a failing paper company. Why is this an issue? Don't spend 7 seasons drilling us on how crappy this company is, and then make one of the smartest, most observant people in the office irrationally fall in love with the idea of staying put. The Pam we've watched for 7 plus seasons would have gone to Philly without any melodrama or hesitation. Besides her Mom, what are Pam's ties to Scranton? In any event, 2 hours away is not that far.) Was the make-up earned? It wasn't horrible, but, nah, not really. More importantly, the fights weren't earned.
The only thing I liked in this episode was Clark's question: "Are you guys high?"April 26, 2013 at 11:53AM ESTReply to Comment
Ken (guest)The Jim/Pam situation is so contrived and ridiculous that it just drives me insane. MAYBE if Jim's dream job were (much) further away (like in LA or something), or if it had some massive, massive flaw that we were privy to (like, Jim has to be out late drinking or clubbing with clients every night, or that he's getting feelings for a co-workers, or ANYTHING to show us a single negative about the place other than that he has to work hard/late like everyone else in the universe from time to time.)
Scranton and Philadelphia are only about 2 hours apart; if it's really important to Pam that they stay close-ish to Scranton because of family or whatever, they can get a house somewhere in-between, or they can just accept that 2 hours really isn't that big a deal and spend every weekend back up there. I can't believe she's that in love with her stupid paper-selling job that she can't face life without it; it just defies any logic, or anything we know about these two people.April 26, 2013 at 12:32PM ESTReply to Comment
DarkdougWell, you have a good point, but as I said in another comment, the logic of this particular situation has less to do with her current state of upset than with it being simply the latest in a long string of the men in her life acting without asking her (Roy seemed to do that kind of thing a lot according to her old talking heads).
The real problem with Pam is not that she's being unreasonably mad about Jim trying to get ahead and support their family, but that she helped establish a pattern where Jim makes the decisions and Pam goes along. This isn't the latest thing he did without consulting her, this is almost 20 years of keeping her mouth shut and building up resentments without expressing herself.
Jim's situation is not his to decide. Pam deserves a say, because that's what he implicitly agreed to when they got married. On the other hand, Pam has led him to believe that she's fine with him making the decisions. The stuff they are talking about now is stuff they should have said when he bought the house on his own initiative.April 26, 2013 at 3:17PM EST
FlaviaThat's the thing. The writers are so timid about showing the bad side of either of them (although, ironically I find Pam very unlikable these days), that the conflict is inexplicable.April 28, 2013 at 6:31PM EST
SplendaI don't think Pam's is unreasonable, even if she is being unlikable. The job is two hours away, but she would no longer be living in the same city as her mom (free babysitting, seeing her at the drop of a hat) and the rest of her family/friends. "It's only two hours" sounds good. But if you are married with two kids, how often do you travel two hours away (4 hours round trip) on a weekend?
Working at Athlead is fundamentally different from Dunder-Mifflin. At DM, everyone is out of the office at 5 and works ends when you leave. It's a job that involves no weekends and no commitment beyond showing up at 9 and leaving at 5. But being a founder and major player at a company is different. Jim is constantly working evenings. Even if Jim isn't in the Athlead offices on the weekend, if something goes wrong, they are going to call him. He's on call 24/7. If Jim had taken a job at a bank in Scranton or some other job with a similar lifestyle, then Pam would be unreasonable. But he turned her into a single mom overnight without asking her or warning her. Gee, I wonder why she is resentful?April 29, 2013 at 3:01PM EST
Duncan (guest)I'm also just watching out of obligation at this point and to see the concusion of the Jim/Pam storyline. Nothing made me as so much smile this episode except for the Clark asking Jim and Pam if they were high.
What they've done to Kevin is an atrocity. Kevin was my favorite character and they've made him an idiot. It's painful. Has anyone asked the writers why they did that? This guy was in a band! Scrantonicity! It's a complete farce. Also the Wilbur and Orville Redenbacher line is something that could have been written by an 11 year old. So painfully unfunny and obvious.

DrakeThe show hasn't really been funny in a while. The show really lost itself toward the end of season 7, and I dropped out of watching Season 8 about four episodes in and only got back to it about four episodes from the finale.
I've been watching Season 9 for exactly what they've been doing right though. I know I'm not going to laugh as much as I would watching Parks and Rec or New Girl, or any other sitcom that's doing really well with comedy right now. I'm watching to see how Jim and Pam's story ends, and while I think it's safe to say they'll live happily ever after in the end, I still need to see it.
The Office was the first show I watched regularly. I first saw it while it was on Season 3, around the time I started high school, and the Pam and Jim story was the first "will they or won't they" story I ever experienced on television. I had seen most of Friends, but mostly in reruns (I watched the last season or two "live," but that was more of a show my parents watched than one I had any investment in). If I didn't watch until the end, I'd be betraying that kid sitting on the living room couch six years ago, munching chips, guzzling Pepsi, and laughing hysterically. The end of The Office will be the end of an era for me, the end of the first show I ever loved with the passion you have for favorite television shows. I think it will be a good end, if not necessarily a funny one.April 26, 2013 at 7:36PM ESTReply to Comment
Jaxemer11The first 20.5 minutes of this episode may be the worst I have ever seen of The Office. I was literally getting angry that they would put out this kind of crap at the end of the series run. Ed Helms is the worst.
The Jim/Pam stuff has also made me livid, and especially the last episode (which I don't think Alan ever reviewed). The whole idea that this petty argument, based on ridiculous positions from bith sides, would lead them to think about divorce ... especially when it is actually their first fight ever ... is not only absurd, but I found it offensive. It treats marraige as something meaningless and cheap that should just be thrown in the garbage.
With that said, the last 90 seconds of this episode mived me to tears. I do think it was a little forced, and I still despise the entire storyline ... but to see them finally express some real affection for each other after everything the writers have put us through was a relief. I don't even really think the resolution to this story is very profound or well written ... it was more that the writers have been torturing us for so long with this crap that it was exhilirating to finally have it over with (at least I hope it is over with).
I really have no faith that the series will end well, but with the Jim/Pam conflict over ... I will at least watch to the end. I was ready to walk away until the last minute tonight.April 26, 2013 at 9:32PM ESTReply to Comment

This is the fashionable new term for a networking system once more commonly called distributed computing. The basic idea is that instead of running a program on one big computer, you run it on a lot of quite small computers connected through a network. An example is the SETI@Home project, in which spare time on thousands of PCs is borrowed using the Internet to analyse data from radio-astronomy signals with the aim of finding evidence of extraterrestrial life. A similar kind of project searching for very large prime numbers has found five new ones. The idea is attractive to large companies, which often have thousands of idle networked PCs. Various computer companies, such as IBM, are working towards commercialising what has now been renamed grid computing and a centre to develop the idea was opened in Edinburgh in April. The term comes from the electricity grid that connects producers with consumers.
The idea behind distributed or grid computing is to share computer applications and resources, such as processing power and storage, over the Internet.
Toronto Star, Feb. 2002
The grid computing concept enables us to use computing power and data storage as if they were some kind of utility like electricity, gas and water.

I just bought an Acert Iconia A500 Tablet and downloaded the Skype app from Acer's App Marketplace. When I skype with my son on his laptop, I can see him on the tablet, but on his laptop, he only got a green screen. I know the camera on my tablet is working because I can see myself on the tablet's screen. I also can see video of my son on his laptop, ON THE TABLET. The sound is also working. The only problem is that my son cannot see me on his laptop. He only sees a green screen. We thought it might be his laptop, so I took my laptop and skyped him and both laptops worked perfectly; therefore, it must be the Skype app on the tablet.
I checked the video setting on the Skype app on the tablet and it is turned on.
Can I get some help?

A downtown portion of Troy's sea wall is crumbling and the Federal Emergency Management Agency is considering giving the city $6.7 million to fix it.

Al-Qaeda running short of suicide bombers
- From: AFP
- April 27, 2010
AL-QAEDA in Iraq is struggling to recruit volunteers for suicide bombings and other attacks, the US Army said yesterday, hours after the jihadist network confirmed the deaths of its top commanders.
Brigadier General Ralph Baker, a senior US officer in Baghdad, said no one could deny the killing of Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayub al-Masri, who had direct links with Osama bin Laden, was a "decapitation" for its leadership.
The SITE Intelligence Group said the Islamic State of Iraq, the al-Qaeda front in the country, had announced for the first time the deaths of the two men.
But the insurgents also vowed in the internet message that other insurgents would take their place, under plans put in place ahead of the Iraqi-US military strike that killed them in a house north of Baghdad on April 18.
General Baker cautioned that the killing of AQI's previous military leader, the well-known Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who died in a US airstrike in 2006, had shown the insurgents were capable of rebuilding. But he said AQI was weaker now, and it would be harder for it to regenerate after hundreds of arrests recently.
"When Zarqawi was killed, someone stepped up and took his place," General Baker said. "This time, we believe there are less charismatic and combat-proven leaders remaining in al-Qa'ida that can step up and resume that leadership role as effectively."
Since January, Iraqi intelligence and security services, with US support, have captured or arrested 404 al-Qa'ida members, according to General Baker.
"Dozens of those AQI members have been mid- to upper-level leadership," he said.
"But it's just not the leadership that al-Qaeda will have trouble finding replacements for. We know they are having great difficulties recruiting suicide bombers" because of better security on Iraq's border with Syria.
"Although Iraq's government, US forces and Washington trumpeted the success of the joint operation that killed Baghdadi and Masri, a series of car-bomb attacks in Baghdad on Friday killed 54 people and wounded 201.
General Baker conceded that AQI was responsible, but argued that violence was falling overall.

I guess the skills shortage is biting everywhere. All the suicide bombers have probably been lured to the mining industry by all the big bucks on offer.

Alan T of Canada Posted at 9:03 AM April 27, 2010
Suicide Bombers, there's a dying breed. Maybe, Al- Qaeda should start offering career counselling, day care, free health-care, dental care, retirement planning, etc to encourage more specialization in the field. Of all the animals on the verge of extinction, I would rather have saved the Do-Do bird.

How strange it is when terror actually murders the very followers of the religion it claims to represent, in order to attempt to overthrow a democratic Government with a religious regime in place, just how many thousands of innocent people have to be slaughtered in the name of radical Islam, before the rest of the world takes a stand to eradicate it once and for all, yes it can be done, we just have to want it enough to do it.
Comment 12 of 17
Stephen of South of the City Posted at 8:19 AM April 27, 2010
If the western countries and powers do not give in or make concessions, if the potential suicide bombers can not see that their deaths will make any difference, then the well of volunteers will slowly dry up. Many misguided suicide bombers have died, but for what overall effect. General security may have been increased but we still travel, we still go to major sporting events etc etc and we still live in a free society. Potential suicide bombers will realise that their deaths will serve no purpose but to harden the free world's resolve to stand up to these cowardly acts and hopefully realise there is a better way to live harmoniously with the west.

AL-QAEDA, all you have to do to get more low IQ bombers, is to give them a big cheque to pay for more virgins in the after life, although I don't know how that will be accepted by the low IQ female bombers ?
Comment 15 of 17
James of Brisbane Posted at 6:53 AM April 27, 2010
If we stopped puting anything to do with the al-Qaeda into the news they would soon go away. Its the world coverage of these cowardly dogs that keeps them going, how else do you think they gain followers. If no-one ever heard or seen anything about them, no recognization of them on the news they would soon lose interest and crawl back into the holes they came out of.

Austin Dillon, grandson of Richard Childress, will attempt to make his Daytona 500 debut in an RCR car in February—40 years after Childress failed to qualify for the event in his first try at Daytona.
Dillon isn't taking anything for granted.
"With the family history, and then going to Daytona. ... I've been able to be in Victory Lane with Kevin Harvick (2007) and Dale Earnhardt (1998) when they won the 500," said Dillon, who will attempt to qualify RCR's No. 33 Chevrolet during Feb. 17 time trials at the 2.5-mile track.
"I really remember Harvick's, because I was able to experience everything the next day also. I'm looking forward to it. We're not in it yet. We've still got to qualify, so we've got some work cut out for us. But, once we get in, it's going to be pretty emotional and fun."
It will also be emotional for Dillon's father, RCR's vice president of competition and himself a former Nationwide Series driver. The elder Dillon is careful not to set expectations too high.
"The biggest thing right now when you watch your kids is you just want them to hit the ball," Mike Dillon said. "Make contact. If they foul it, it's 'OK, you made contact. Next time we'll get it in play.' This deal of making the Daytona 500 is a big deal.
"If we can go out and just get in the race and run a good, solid race and come out of there respectable ... Getting in the race and taking the green flag, after that it's just 'Bring it home safe.'"

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.
i think you have answered your own question. no heavy manual work. no over heated stuffy office, were you ever all the ones ? :)
I don't know, but I hope I do as well.
Is this a "general" inability to sweat or is it just an inability to sweat in the armpits.
If it is the latter............no big deal
If it is the former......male, aged 58, generalised inability to sweat....then i would think......underactive thyroid.
Hope this helps.
Funny you should ask that, my mum is 88 and has never used deodorant in her life and I have never smelt sweat on her. She says it's because she never started it in the first place. I am female but have noticed if I miss a day using it, it makes no difference any more.
So, you used ball-roll-on under your arms. That's where I went wrong.
Question Author
Thanks everybody. Its not a problem, not using deoderant. Its just that I wanted to know if it was a general thing for someone my age.

Discussion in 'Volkswagen and other VAG' started by 18ME, Jun 23, 2003.
Would like to see some of your views on the new Beetle Cab. 2.0 especially.
My missus has a New Beetle Cabriolet.
It's excellent. We tried the 1.6 and the 2.0 and in the end opted for the 1.6 as the engine seemed a lot sweeter. The 2.0 lump is a very old motor now, where as the 1.6 is a relatively new design and manages to be reasonably nippy and efficient. You can see some pictures on my website...

Is this a glitch? In addition, it's worth noting that I seem to be able to force persuade him over and over, with him forgetting our previous conversation each time. This is what leads me to believe it's a glitch. Also, he won't accept a bribe, but that probably isn't a glitch.

Also, maybe I don't even want to get him off the hook. I already know through experimentation that I get 500 XP (or was it 400?) and no alignment points if I turn in the video of the murder at the beginning. If I fail to get him off the hook through incompetence I get 100 less XP and again no alignment points. What do you receive for clearing his name? I assume you don't get light side points since he is guilty. I was hoping for a better XP reward.

salsadipluva 8 years ago#3
yes, it's a glitch. The trial is the worst (badly done) quest in the game. I suggest you at least refer to an FAQ as it's a long process and requires some specific and sometimes illogical conversation paths in order to acquit Sunry.
The reward is also a little messed up as you found out. You are suppose to get discounts from the stores if Sunry gets away, but I was unable to get the discounts from the shops, don't know why. I did a before/after check on the shops are the prices were the same!

I looked for which walkthrough I copied this text out of so long ago, but I can't find it... It's probably still up, but half the time CTRL-F doesn't work on GameFAQs...
Anyway, here's the text a helpful author wrote down:
Finding Sunry innocent:
All the steps above at the hotel (except persuading Ignus) and when speaking with Elora are necessary, and you won't have to download the data recording at the Republic Embassy. Here is how the trial should proceed. First up will be Ignus. If you persuaded him, he will confess that he heard the shot after Sunry left, to your favor. If not, he will testify against Sunry. Next will be Firith Me. During your cross-examination of Firith, ask if she is indeed a Dark Jedi. Now ask if he actually saw the murder take place. Now choose no more questions.
After Firith will come Gluupor. During your cross-examination, ask if he planted the medal. Now ask if he saw the murder happen. Then choose no more questions.
Now Elora will come out. During your cross-examination, ask her about Sunry's affair. Then have no more questions. Finally, Sunry comes out. When you have a chance, ask Sunry simply if he went there to end the affair, would the sith object? Now choose no more questions.
It's time for your closing argument. Choose first "No one actually witnessed the murder." Next choose "Sunry went to end the affair so the sith killed her." Then close your case. After a brief intermission, Sunry will be found innocent, you'll get 500xp and you can expect lower prices at both main merchants, one in East Central and one in Ahto East.
Monocle_Man (Topic Creator)8 years ago#5
Yeah, I kept trying that, it was suggested in like the only PC walkthrough. Didn't work. I'm guessing the only way it would work is if I managed to convince Ignus. Which isn't working too well for me.

His cooperation is not necessary.
But... Come on: we all hate the Manaan trials.
Shadowlynk 8 years ago#7
Yeah, the trials suck, this one especially. I'd just hand over the proof he did it. Even on a Dark side playthrough; just tell Sunry you'll cover it up for the DSP, then stab him in the back. >:)
