We love Jim and Pam on The Office, but Rashida Jones’ Karen Filipelli really deserved better.
One of the biggest TV tropes is the will-they-won't-they between two characters. Every viewer can see it coming, but we don't care. We're suckers for it. The only issue truly is making sure it's done right. Pull the trigger too soon and put these two destined lovers together in Season 2, and all the tension is gone. Wait several seasons to put them together, or worse, have them get together, breakup, and get together again , and it turns the drama into a slog.
Karen wasn't a rebound for Jim though, and she wasn't a stereotype of the "other woman" either. Karen isn't mean and controlling, but a kind, sweet, and funny person. She's similar to Pam actually, as we see her having fun searching for chips with Jim, rather than thinking it's stupid. She loves to help Jim pick on Andy , just like Pam would help Jim with his prank war against Dwight .
Still, Karen is a good person. She doesn't go crazy with jealousy, screaming and making scenes, but rather, she's a woman in pain who's trying to keep believing that the man she loves truly loves her back, and not someone else that's a few feet away from them. Karen even tries to rise above the doubts by befriending Pam. It had to be horribly awkward for both of them, but Karen made the best of it.
