I thought with less than a week to go, it was time to start the new episode discussion thread. I think I'm just too excited, but I couldn't help myself.

AHHHHHH! I'M SO EXCITED! Finally! I'm so happy Jim & Pam are finally engaged. And I seriously just absolutely loved this episode.

Cross-posted from my LJ and The Office board

Just some quick hits about the season premiere. I think my episode recaps are going to be shorter this season.

-Glad we got the question of the Jim, Pam and THE ENGAGEMENT (it seems to have become a character over the summer) out of the way in the premiere. I had heard the rumors/spoilers about the rain storm, but what I was picturing was COMPLETELY different. Kinda felt rushed, but at the same time, I'm glad it's out of the way now. Timeline-wise, I'm guessing that we still have four more weeks (so four more episodes?) of Pam-In-Art-School and Jim/Pam long distance before she's back in the office.

-LOVED Ryan coming back as the temp receptionist. It was fantastic to have Ryan taken down a notch or seven. Love the return of Michael creepiness regarding Ryan. Sorta loved that Kelly is now playing hard to get - she's kinda my hero now (hold the kinda).

-Andy completely killed me in the middle of the episode with his speech about wanting to marry her and how Angela softened. I'm still having a hard time with Angela the Adulterer, but I guess that's how she rolls these days.

-Michael was great in the first half of the episode, but I just kinda didn't get him in the second half of the episode.

-This episode felt really weird to me overall. It was like nothing was really happening even though I know things were. I suppose I'll find more things I liked upon re-watching, but I didn't have a lot of laugh-out-loud moments like I did in the finale. Still have high hopes for the season and I'm looking forward to the new episode in two weeks.

Oh man, my electricity cut out tonight. I missed the first 20 minutes. But, I love what I saw. Can't wait to watch the whole episode tomorrow.

I SO knew we were getting a JAM proposal in the rain based on some spoiler clues. I was right!!! But, I had no idea it would happen in the premier. Jim was so happy afterwards. So adorable and smiley.

So my highlights to no one's suprise I'm sure were Ryan, Kelly/Ryan, Michael/Ryan, Kelly, and Andy.

I love Ryan, so I'm stoked he's back in The Office.

Kelly/Ryan: I love that he apologized to her. And I also loved that even so, she didn't run right back to him. Yay Kelly. As much as I love these two, Ryan has some work to do.

Michael/Ryan: The Mancrush love is back. I loved the matching goatees and then the matching non goatees. Michael helped Ryan move and Michael got him on as a temp. I love it.

Kevin's Fire.....d Guy comment.

Ryan keeping a list.

Ryan/Jim: I love that this tension is still continuing.

And awww poor Toby.

Andy is so sweet. I feel so so bad for him.

I HATE that Angela is still continuing the charade with Andy while seeing Dwight behind his back.

Little Drummer Boy is her and Dwight's song. So cold.

More to say later I'm sure.

Jim was awesome in this episode!

I loved, loved:

- him talking to Pam on the MacBook
- tricking Dwight into thinking Jim was IMing Pam about Dwight
- Jim and Pam in the dorm room
- THE JAM PROPOSAL!
- John looked really good. [/shallow]
