Just from what I've been able to glean from you politically around here... but I'm probably wrong, pay no mind. I like Big Joel a lot

The scene in Season 4 where Jim follows Dwight into the stairwell to comfort him after Angela accepts Andy's advances makes me cry like a little fucking baby.

Dwight comforting Pam, too. They do a really good job of blending these emotional, touching moments with their typical comedy without actually ruining the moment.

By the end of the series I think I like Jim and Dwight's relationship more than Jim and Pam's.

Their characters were never really fleshed out much. They feel hollow.

As a way to do a soft reboot of the show within the show so that the series could live on after the primary cast left, I liked them well enough. There were a bit too "Jim and Dwight-seque" for my taste and I'm glad they chose to turn away from that dynamic as it progressed. Pete was a nice character that felt obvious and a bit dead-end. Clark was an annoying and flimsy character that had a lot of story potential depending on where they chose to take him.
