    NY Times reports Fox is picking up the pilot in which Rashida Jones is a cast member. I'd think that would mean she won't be back on The Office next season ...

    Someone brought this up on the Office thread: This makes it probable that she'll get the corporate job over Michael and Jim. Hope they come up with some more twists on top of that.

    I remain the only one in the world hoping that Jim stays with Karen. It's a losing battle I know.

    For plot reasons or do you really prefer her over Pam?

    Both actually, but more that I prefer her over Pam than anything else. I just don't want another Sam and Diane.

    Because you didn't like Sam and Diane's relationship or because you'd hate to see The Office steal a concept from a successful show?

    Jim and Pam are not hard-headed like Sam and Diane. They'd probably take two hours just to decide where to go to dinner ... or they would go to the same place every night.

    I think in both instances the tension and "what if..." of each is pretty compelling. And you're right, since Jim and Pam aren't as hard-headed, they'll have to come up with new ways to make the relationship interesting. I'm sure they will, but I like the tension better.

    Besides, Karen is cooler. And hotter.

    Jenna Fischer is way hotter. Period.

    Rashida Jones is very cute. Not Jenna Fischer.

    Jay, didn't he say something like "Was your father in Vietnam?" in there somewhere? God that was humorous.

    Exactly. Give me Pam any day of the week.

    I like Rashida, although I'm not familiar with her other than The Office.
    Googled her, and I had no idea she was both Jewish and Quincy Jones' daughter.. I never would have guessed that.
