User blog comment:UpperEastSociety/Pam vs. Karen/@comment-31465681-20170309040838

I feel like Karen was neccesary to the development of Jim's character, but their relationship lasted way too long which delayed the inevitable of Jim and Pam getting together. As a result of it being way too long, their were forced to rush Jim and Pam's relationship to marriage and pregnancy as quickly as possible. Also, she should have stuck in Scranton for some interesting dynamics with everyone.
