Jan isn't even funny to watch. It's painful, and awkward, and I really hate what they've done with her character.

Actually - wait, no, I laughed REALLY HARD at her scene with Holly. Only because I'm not really a Michael/Holly fan. Oh, Jan.

But yeah. Other than that...

I think that's pretty much it.

I'm so looking for explanations for this, and every time I see one, I feel a little better because it means maybe the writers are coming up with some ideas too. Someone on OT (one of us?) had an idea that I liked:

_____________________

I agree, it’s got to be Michael’s kid.

Jan has always kept Michael at a distance. When they were “sort of” dating in Season 3, she “controls” things so she doesn’t get hurt (again, since we know she’s divorced). It blew up in their faces when they moved in together and got closer. She doesn’t want things to go wrong since their kid is in the mix now.
SPOILER ALERT!!!(MAYBE)
I believe that Holly will leave because Michael finds out that the kid is his and chooses to be with Jan.
END SPOILER!!
Although I’ll always hope for Holly to stay!
____________________

Anyway, hoping against hope, I suppose, but it's something to do! LOL

That's a really interesting reason for Holly leaving. I was trying to think of a reason Holly might leave since she has a permanent job there and things are going well with Michael.

If that Kevin sperm donor scene hadn't been deleted, I'd swear it would be cause for her to get DNA tested and find out there's no match at the sperm bank. Maybe there's still hope?

Well, I really don't have that much to say because you guys have practically said it all! lol That episode was just...kind of weird, really. I mean I laughed, but a lot of the time I was like "Oh, poor Michael." Jan did seem a sliver less crazy but still, I dunno it was just kind of random for me. I was really hoping for this episode to redeem them and save the day, but it just really was not so much. Other than that I loved the episode. I still love Jan no matter how crazy she gets and I always will lol. I don't know, even though she's crazy and sometimes it's painful to watch, I still find it funny. Is that bad?! That I take pleasure in other peoples pain?! lol Maybe I'm a Jan junior.....hmmm. That's another story. I still cannot stop laughing about the Astird thing!! XD

The Astird thing was actually pretty funny. When we first heard about it, we were worried, but it ended up being a cute joke.
