Talk:Pete-Erin Relationship/@comment-73.38.254.23-20190108004541

I don't like that they choose to make Erin's love story parallel Pam's just because she was a receptionist and all. The Jim and Pam romance was very special and was a big part of the show in earlier seasons. It was much more developed than the Erin and Pete relationship but they decided to make it another Jim and Pam story because of how popular Jam was. They didn't even give it much thought as all they did was make Erin a receptionist and call Pete the new Jim. I feel like it really undermined importance the classic Jim and Pam duo that the show lived on before season 9, like how they turned the super cute scene of Pam sleeping on Jim's shoulder to Erin sleeping on Pete. Quite frankly in my opinion because Pam and Erin are so different personality wise perhaps Andy and Erin would have been better as it would be a different kind of relationship and Erin could bring back the light and goofy side of Andy after maybe splitting up for a bit and then getting back together but even if they choose Pete, they could have been a little creative with their story as this feels like a cop-out.
