I really like the possibilities of the post-Karen aftermath that you laid out here. I hadn't thought of them before but they make a lot of sense. I'm so interested in how the writers are going to deal with all of that in the fall.

I look forward to more Man Jim.

I have to admit this chapter makes me more sympathetic to Jim, but more Karen fallout in ch4 please! She still deserves to really say her piece.

Thanks for your fresh take on 'the job' aftermath. I'm curious to see how Jim will evolve.

I was so pleased to see you updated! I think that it's a good sign that Jim is telling Pam about the changes he wants to make; it makes all the difference between running away and taking a step forward. I would love to see him end up with Karen, but this interaction between Jim and Pam restored a bit of my faith in the both of them, and I could see myself wishing them well by the time you're through with them.
Also? "[O]r is he just a flailing man-child" made me giggle out loud.

I don't know... it seems like he might be doing more running, and not really "facing his life". Hmmm. Well, I'll just follow along wherever you take this.

I really like it so far! I'm glad there's a story out there that Jim realizes that he needs to make ammends with Karen...regardless of how much I really dislike her...

At first I was hesitant to read this, because, well, I love fluff, and I wanted to wallow and bask in the first date fluffiness everyone was pouring out. But I'm so glad I read this. I kinda forgot that Jim's been a douchbag. And more importantly, I didn't even realize how douch-y he's been to Karen. It's easy to get caught up in how Pam feels, and see things from her point of view. But putting yourself in Karen's place, and truly, the poor girl was wronged when all she ever wanted was for him to love her back. I almost want this to be what actually happens on the show (but we know it won't because home base is DM), because, much as I love Jim, I want to see him grow up. Real men don't charm the pants off women and then just dump them at the earliest convenience. He was a complete jerk to Katy and to Karen; even if they were terrible matches, they're still people. I can't wait to see where you go with this.
Author's Response: Thanks a lot. Love your thoughts and your review. The douche-baggery you mention really turned me off after the finale, so I really do hope Jim redeems himself.

Once again, Dog the Bounty Hunter has shown us the way. Showin' the love for Detroit, I see. I drove through there two weeks ago. It's colourful, to say the least...
One of these days I'll write a useful comment.
