    Jim Looks So Handsome

    I love Jim's green jacket - that outfit suits him perfectly. His eye colour with the blue office tops and green jacket go so well together.

    This one wasn't it. I wasn't satisfied to the fullness. They've tried to push this theme about fighting whole episode but it wasn't that interesting. Only last 5 minutes saved this episode from disaster.

    "I want people to be afraid of how much they love me."

    A classic episode. Hilarious main plot between Michael and Dwight. Although I understand how it changes their character, I didn't particularly like the Jim-And-Pam b-plot. But overall a good episode.

    • Goofs
      Michael uses emergency contact day as an excuse to get Ryan's cell phone number. Michael already got Ryan's phone number two episodes ago during the office fire.
    • Quotes

      Michael Scott: Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.
