10 Crazy Foreshadowing In The Office You Totally Missed
2. Jim's Second Life Character Lives Out His Future
One of the main subplots in season four's "Local Ad" sees Dwight disappearing into the popular online world Second Life, where he basically creates a facsimile of his actual physical life.
Soon enough, Jim creates an avatar, Jim Samtanko, in order to stalk Dwight. The avatar is a guitar-totting version of himself who is described as a "Philly Sports Writer." Sound familiar?
In the season nine premiere ("New Guys"), Jim's Second Life basically comes to fruition, as he moves to Philadelphia to help found sports marketing company Athlead (later Athleap), and later in the season while living with Darryl (Craig Robinson), he's even briefly seen playing Guitar Hero.
Clearly, the writers knew what they had in store for Jim when they hinted at his unfulfilled ambitions years earlier.
