What is the Jim/Pam Index?
The Jim/Pam Index is kind of like the Dow Jones Index, except it measures how close Jim and Pam are to getting together instead of stock market performance. That, and it’s more of a trend than a numerical value. At the conclusion of each episode, I will assign a rating to how that episode affected the Jim/Pam relationship: Down, Even, or Up. It’s all very scientific. You’ll notice that this section tends to dominate the recaps. As far as plot threads go, this is the big one, and so it lends itself more easily to thoughtful examination. That, and I’m a softie when it comes to this type of thing.
