Deep Thought

Do you ever feel like life is so much less worth living now that Jim and Pam are together?

Is it not the chase that moves us? Why does a dog run after a car when it drives down the road? For the sport. For the pleasure. If it were to catch the car, it would lose interest, as it has nothing to do with it.

So it is with Pam and Jim. Now that the excitement of pursuit is gone, so is the excitement of their relationship. No more turmoil over the question, what if?

So in short, yes. Life has rather fallen into the doldrums now that the two have united. May the writers save us from this grey existance with a spice of drama?

I would definitely agree with your insights Slayjak. Truthfully, it's difficult now for me to watch the show without immediately thinking of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. It is as if the series writers saw this work as a jumping off point and used it to further their exploration of love, loss and longing (or the 3 Ls as my yoga/herbal aromatherapy/tai chi/peace gardening instructor would say!).

To take it a step even further, if one were to explore - and I mean truly delve deeply and explore to their greatest intrinsically human capacity - the Jungian elements of the show(i.e. the dynamic substratum common to all humanity, upon the foundation of which each individual builds his own experience of life, developing a unique array of psychological characteristics), I believe it would be difficult - nigh, impossible to watch.

Alas, I find myself drifting. We look too passionately and we find that the rabbit hole itself becomes a spiraling vortex, threatening to consume both our minds and our soul.

Also, I just love Toby!
