I love the Pam coming up to Jim's 'desk' and eating jellybeans twist so much. And that you managed to work in the footage of Scranton with Jim! Their banter in this is a joy to read. Especially Pam working out what major Jim is and being so spot on. And...the title!

Oh, I adore their banter! And the choice of Jim's major is curious (also, I love Pam's train of thoughts that led her to the right answer).
I can't wait to see where the story goes next!
Author's Response: Thanks very much! I hope that "philosophy major" makes sense for him...

Always enjoy these updates - the little bit about opening sequence was a fun drop in.
Nice switcharoo of with Pam at the counter tapping her fingers and enjoying jelly beans.
The line about them being complimentary not the same appeals to me as a Jam fan and a designer.
Complement always preferable to too matchy matchy
Author's Response: Thank you! I am enjoying flipping some things around here, and I think they are best when they are being equals and meshed opposites, not just identical. Not that they're identical in canon or anything, but sometimes they try to make them that way in fics and it's not ideal IMO.

GRRRRR!!! I had this wonderful review written up and then all of a sudden a slip of the finger and it's deleted. Hopefully I can remember most of what I just typed.
Starting out with the meta references to Jim filiming Scranton. Loved it. Not something seen very often in fic and you really did a great job with it.
Also loved the fact that there's jellybeans now and that it's Pam who's coming up to snack on them. Simply adorable. I also really like their banter here. Clearly Pam has spent a lot of time talking to Jim and thinking about him to get that kind of sense about him. Her insight that they are complementary not identical is both sweet and telling in showing us how much she's been thinking about him. Loved it.
And in keeping with one of the best traditions of your writings, some more academic type humor. Jim being able to make a joke based off his thesis was a lot of fun. I always really apprciate when you add in things like that as I feel it really adds a lot of depth to their characters. Please never stop. Great job as usual.
Author's Response: Awww. I appreciate your rewriting this long of a review! I'm really glad you like the academic humor--that's something I cannot and will not avoid, so...it's here to stay ;)

Okay, this is some high quality Jim/Pam banter (and I like you working the backstory for the shooting of the credits sequence in here), and I have to admit... I did not see the pun coming. Well done.
Jim as a philosophy major makes an alarming amount of sense to me.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I think he would be a great philosophy major (and although I don't teach philosophy, a lot of my students are double-majors with it, and I could see Jim fitting in).
