Rashida Jones thinks it 'made sense' she was let go from 'The Office,' because 'people did not like me'

it was, but her character brought next to nothing to it, other than being a straightperson, which adam scott's character was already doing.

side note: adam scott's character being the literal only person who didn't "get" little sebastian makes me grin to this day when I think of it. even ron would go gaga

Yeah, but the writing and acting was well done enough, that even if at the time you could separate it and make a pros cons list and tally it out, it still wouldn't have felt right because Jim was so obviously in love with Pam and not her (and sometimes that happens irl too).
