I KNOW, I can't either! And, like, when I've been watching season four again, I'm all, 'Hey, Jim, you're still cool and charming, mostly! Why is it I don't like you again?' But ... I can't get past the Karen thing. I just can't. I know it's stupid to get hung up on it, and we should just let it go (and, um, that these people aren't real), but I think about it and ... I just can't get past it! He was so horrible to her, and I hate that the show kinda glossed over it; I would have felt much better if, at least, there was more acknowledgment that he was horrible ("Branch Wars" was fleetingly satisfying for this reason), and I would have especially loved to see Pam be, like, less-than-pleased about it? I dunno. I STILL CLING TO "A BENIHANA CHRISTMAS" AND PAM AND KAREN'S TRAGICALLY QUASHED BFFHOOD.

... I want Karen back. And not just to save Rashida from more crappy sitcoms!
