					<description>I realize this episode is ages ago and we are all anxiously awaiting the new season but i just had a thought about what Jim's question 'what about you?' could refer to. Right before that Michael says 'Never gets any of my jokes.' THat is when Jim asks the question. Maybe he's wondering if Michael gets any of his own jokes.  Just a thought.</description>

					<description>Oh my God. I literally bursted out laughing when I got the updog joke. It took me about a minute to register the joke. XD



The Dwight-Angela stare just said EVERYTHING.

					<description>does anyone else think that angela might be pregnant?

just throwing that out there. it's mainly based on the way that she acted during the christmas episode, but lately she's seemed kind of different. i can't quite place it. i really liked her moment with dwight this episode, and her brusque dismissal of phyllis.

i was watching &quot;the alliance&quot; and when angela says &quot;green is whorish,&quot; phyllis is wearing a green sweater.

i can't wait for the episode this week.</description>

					<description>Re: Jim/Pam Index

You analzyed all the Jim/Pam interaction in this episode to perfection.  Excellent Job!!!!

One thing of note worth mentioning:

Jim : It was like three years ago, so… I am totally over it.
Pam : Cool.
Jim : Ok.

After Jim says &quot;OK&quot; there is a quick glimpse of Pam exiting the lunchroom. If you look carefully you'll notice a subtle change in her facial expression from the time she says &quot;cool&quot; to the time she leaves the lunchroom. It's brief, yet it reveals that Pam is a bit disappointed that Jim has &quot;shut the door&quot; on his crush.  I think it's been said before - Pam/Jenna is brilliant in revealing subtleties to the camera.</description>

					<description>New to this site...sorry if this is too long.

Honestly, it doesnt get any better that two points in this ep:

1. When Jim asks Michael &quot;What about you?&quot; and he says &quot;Her Boobs, definitely&quot;----- The look and the way Jim delivers &quot;Wow.... that is not what i meant&quot;, that was just beyond ridiculously funny. Theres just something so hilarious about how he delivers that sentence---it gets me rolling on the floor every time.

2. Another Jim facial expression moment: When he's talking to Kevin, Pam walks by and Kevin says &quot;Niiiiiicccceee&quot; &amp;#38; &quot;She is SOOOOO hot&quot;. That expression on Jim's face had me rolling on the floor.

I'm sure its been said before, but Jenna Fischer is quite simply the cutest woman on TV right now, bar none. Especially in the scene when she lets her hair down. Too bad she's married. :-(</description>

					<description>*Michael is every transcriber’s worst nightmare.*

First of all, let me congratulate you on a fantastic site. Secondly, check to see if your video capture card has the capability of capturing the closed captioning into a text file. Then create a macro to take it out of all caps. This helps a lot (I do this for a living).

I absolutely loved Dwight and Angela's moment. The tiny smiles on both their faces... wow.</description>

					<description>What I think is important to note about Jim and Michael’s heart-to-heart on the Booze Cruise is that after Jim digresses into listing Pam’s good qualities, Michael advises, “Well, if you LIKE her so much, don’t give up.”  He uses the present tense!  Michael seems to project his feelings onto others, never taking the time to try to determine why someone would think differently than him, or feel things more deeply than he would. After hearing Jim sound very lovesick, I don’t think it would enter Michael’s thought process to try to determine the unique properties of Jim’s feelings.  He simply thinks “This guy’s in love.” Anyway, just my two cents on why Jim’s “in the past” defence mechanism seems to shoot right over Michael’s head.</description>

					<description>*Todd* and *matt*, thank you. And don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the demand for a message board.

Thanks, *Kars*. You're right, there was a lot going on in that department. I think I might have gone overboard.

*Amber*, I've added the &quot;updog&quot; joke to *Transmissions*.

Finally, *Graham*, you brought up some great points:

* Regarding the JP Index, let's just say that it was very cl0se. We finally got the ball rolling from Pam's side of things, which is fantastic, but it's going to take her some time to work up the head of steam necessary to act on this knowledge. I agree that what happened here will turn out to be good in the long run, but taken as a single episode, I just don't think that what we saw from her was enough to offset the beating that Jim's taken.&lt;p&gt;But damn, that look in the elevator was something, wasn't it? I can feel myself caving... Ah, hell, it's got to be Even.&lt;/p&gt;

* Technically, Jim tells Michael that he &quot;*used* to have a big thing for Pam&quot;, but I think it's pretty clear that Michael realizes that he still likes her. Michael can be oblivious at times, but given his advice to Jim at the end of *Booze Cruise* and his behavior during  *The Secret* (&quot;He *is* in love with a girl he works with who's engaged&quot;), I'd say it's a safe bet that Michael knows that Jim is still into Pam. Thus, Michael's answer to both of Pam's questions is yes: yes, Jim had a crush on her on the booze cruise, and yes, Jim told him about it on the booze cruise; the former is properly inferred by Michael, and the latter is a fact.

* There is definitely potential for craziness within the Jim / Pam / Dwight / Angela quadrangle.

* Regarding Jim's question at Hooters, I was a little confused by it as well. Like you, I had assumed that he was referring to what Michael looked for in a woman in general. Seeing how Jim isn't actually pursuing Pam, or so he would like us to think, I guess it's also possible to read it literally as Jim asking Michael what he liked about Pam. Either way, I don't think he was prepared for the bluntness of the response.

* Interesting theory about Oscar's favor to Dwight. I like it.</description>
