Oh, Casino Night.

I think a part that I've never mentioned liking is Michael and Dwight's codenames for the girls.

Carol's is pretty smart. She's a realtor so Remax makes sense. But why is Jan's just switching the first letters of her names into Lan Jevinson? They try to keep it so discreet but yet it's so easy to crack the code.

huh...that's something i never though of

Sometimes I find it hard to get past all the Jim/Pam-ness of the episode but there are so many other great moments.

Like Creed winning and saying he's never owned a fridge before.

I forgot about that.

The Jim/Pam ending completely owns this episode for me. I think it's one of the best moments out of the entire series. Perfect acting on both John and Jenna's part.

I agree Jessica..............one of the best moments of the series for sure.

And yes, as wonderful as all the Jim/Pamness was, there were also alot of other great moments in the episode.

Steve did a wonderful job writing this one.

there were for sure
but i've always wondered what was Jim's motivation for kissing Pam after being rejected that first time...

I LOVE this episode.

Everything. the mind control, Dwight trying out the mind control, and the JAM kiss.
