Why this must be read:
obsession_inc gets a season two Jim and Roy to have an actual conversation, without glossing over any of the tension of the situation, and in the process gives excellent insight into the worldview of both characters.
"This thing with Pam, it's not working, but he can't figure out what in the world would work. The honorable options all suck, the dishonorable options are too tempting, and if he's being honest with himself he has to admit that none of them would lead to any kind of satisfactory outcome. He's always been very clear in his own head that if a girl was engaged or married, she was off-limits, and that any guy who crossed that line was a fucking scumbag: ergo, it's very difficult to figure out any way to proceed that won't make him a fucking scumbag. He's never been that guy, never even considered it until now, and he's starting to wonder if he's changed, or if he's always been this way and just never met anyone before who'd make him want to cross the line."
