KlRBEH 03/28/20 11:26:23 AM #1:	https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2020/03/the-office-planned-to-break-up-jim-and-pam-in-final-season In Andy Greene's new book, The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s, it has been revealed that Greg Daniels wanted to shake up Jim and Pam's relationship in the final season. When the couple's relationship is tested as Jim takes a job in Philly, and Pam struggles to take care of their children, it was clear the show was hinting at the two separating. Pam even turns to Brian, who's part of the camera crew, for advice, breaking the fourth wall and inspiring a one-sided crush on his end. John Krasinki also wanted to do something different with their relationship at first, which undoubtedly helped inspire their issues in Season 9. "My whole pitch to Greg [Daniels] was that weve done so much with Jim and Pam, and now, after marriage and kids, there was a bit of a lull there," Krasinki told Greene in the book, per Collider. "For me it was, Can you have this perfect relationship go through a split and keep it the same? which of course you cant. And I said to Greg, It would be really interesting to see how that split will affect two people that you know so well." Writer Brent Forrester added that the plan was initially to have Jim and Pam split halfway through the season, later reuniting in the final episode of the series. "Greg really wanted to do something extremely risky and high-stakes, which was the documentary airs and we see what effect it has had on these characters," Forrester explained. "And there was going to be a reunion episode where you see that Jim and Pam have split up by this time, and they will have their reunion in the reunion episode." Daniels ultimately had the final say in the matter, but Warren Lieberstein said the idea "wasn't universally loved" by the rest of the writing team. Incorporating Brian, who would have been an unseen presence in Pam's life throughout the series, was one of the few ways the writers believed they could pull off a possible love triangle. Writer Owen Ellickson said at one point there was talk about Pam and Brian "maybe hooking up a little bit," but Daniels never wanted to challenge their relationship to such an extreme level. "It was just to introduce worry in the audience, which I think happened," said Ellickson. "I mean there are people who in season eight were like, 'Theyre so boring. They just hang out together and theres no angst. We used to love the angst with their relationship.'" The plotline was met with a mixed response from fans, so they decided to rework it during production. "We had to pull the ripcord on it because it was so painful to the fans of the show," added Forester. "John Krasinski said to me, Brent, this final season is for the ultra fans of the show. Theyre the only ones really still left watching, right? This is for them. Jim and Pam splitting up is too painful for them to sustain all the way to the reunion. We have to get them back together immediately.'"

cuttin_in_farm 03/28/20 4:09:54 PM #42:	Umbreon posted... Also as someone who have never watched The Office, I keep hearing about Jim and Pam on dating sites. Please tell me their relationship isn't like that other popular "couple" Joker and Harley Quinn.... It consists of a douche guy that constantly pranks his socially unaware coworker for laughs and kisses women who are engaged who gets with an insecure and soft spoken woman who doesnt get enough support for what she wants in her life to pursue it. Jim actually doesnt support her either. He doesnt go see her art when she had it at a museum thing, and requested to relocate after ruining her (unhappy) engagement since he couldnt man up to the consequences. Because Jim is funny (he isnt) and not ugly, he gets away with a lot of creepy shit. He buys his parents house when he gets with Pam and surprises her with it without consulting her.
