re: Pam and Jim

Her unbelievable selfishness toward the end of the series had its roots at the beginning. The writers did a pretty good job of being consistent with Pam. She never changed. It was just hard to see because you were rooting for them to get together.

Roy is an idiot.

Jim is right there. Pam loves being with him. But, she is using him.

Of course, Pam doesn't see her own worth either, which is why she didn't want to leave the office or Scranton when Jim was trying to make a better life for them. So, I guess that part of Pam's problem was that she didn't ever see herself as more than a receptionist.

Jim had his problems, but he ends up being the hero of the story, in my opinion.
