Aww, thank you so muchhh! I am not worthy of such awesome feedback, seriously. :D I'm all overwhelmed and stuff.

Oscar and Gil? Okay you officially win simply because you wrote Oscar and Gil, and so perfectly, too.

Dude? More people need to write Oscar and Gil. And by more people, I mean the entirety of this fandom's fic community! Yeah, that's right. I went there.

(Um. I might love them a little . . . too much.)

I love that Jim remembered the "unicorns in a field of flowers," and that he brought it up in their conversation. I don't know why that sticks out to me so much, but it does.

Aww, I love that that detail stuck out to you. I figure that even when Jim's in the place he is now, where he and Pam aren't quite friends anymore and he's with Karen and trying so desperately to move forward, he's never going to be able to forget anything about Pam and the times they shared, and the fact that he remembers every little detail (oh, Yankee Swap teapot!) is so natural to him that he doesn't even quite notice and sometimes he slips up even now. So, um, yes. It was sort of a throwaway line-ish, and I'm just really glad that you picked up on that. :D

Thank you soooo much for your beautiful feedback. You win everything!

First, I think Gil needs to be in the show more often, because I'm pretty sure his two little lines stole the entire episode. He and Oscar are adorable, and oh, I love him and his art-snobbiness and his brutal honesty.

I think a lot of the reason why Jim's comment about the unicorns stuck out to me is because I imagine that it would really stick out to Pam. It was such a small, like you said, throwaway line, but I think for a long time after Jim came back, she was really grasping to hold on to their old relationship, and anything that happened or anything they did that was a shoutout to it, Pam seemed to get all excited over. Plus, like you also mentioned, Jim spent years memorizing every little thing about Pam and he's not going to readily forget those details just because he's trying to move on.

Anyway. I wanted to point out one more thing:

He dozes off before King of Queens starts, and there’s something comical about the sight of him scrunched onto her tiny garage sale sofa with little pink flowers all over it. He doesn’t look right here. That might have been on purpose originally, back when she still felt like she needed to escape from him.

YES. Because the Pam that I saw in GWH is the Pam that would have done something like that. That is such an amazing detail.

I...think I'm done reviewing this now?
