I guess it can be explained by saying that they only wear mics when they're doing their interviews... but still, it doesn't make a ton of sense.

Maybe it's best not to think too much about it.

Well Jim is away for an extended period of time right now. I believe the only other time they were separated for a long time was when Pam was away. So now is a pretty good chance for the guy to make a move.
This will never happen but I'll think it's great if it turns out that Pam has been banging the boom guy on the side.

But then again, Boom Guy wouldn't have had a chance because he hadn't even been created then... as a transparent plot contrivance.

Well, the show is back full speed ahead running off the tracks.
Dwight acting like Michael in the first episode, and Pam being a whiny bitch, yet not getting punished for defacing a car, yet the other guy gets fired.
I won't be even go into the Brian storyline.
EDIT - Not to mention 50% of the humor now is toilet humor - poop, masturbating, penis. Come on, writers.

Plus, they made a point of saying the paint on the truck would wash off with a hose. She hardly "defaced" his car. But he certainly ruined her mural and came after her in the parking lot.

Also it seems pretty weird that Val was indifferent to the whole thing, considering she knows the upstairs people and is dating Daryl.

Nah, this is a documentary. How many documentaries do you hear about with multiple film crews? This isn't the next Planet Earth they're filming.

Ugh to repeat what I've been saying for years...
"UK VERSION BETTER. US VERSION SHOULD HAVE ENDED YEARS AGO!"
The whole "jim is an asshole" plot line is totally unrealistic given the way they've portrayed the character all these year.

Well, this crew definitely has multiple cameras going within the office at one time...at least two and maybe three. There is no other way they could be getting different angles of events happening at the same time. It's surprising that the cameras never end up shooting another camera or members of the documentary crew...until now at least.
I'm glad that for Modern Family they've gone with the notion that there is no one making a documentary about this family and that they're just using the documentary style for the show.
This storyline sort of reminds me of what happened on The Real World Seattle. One of the the producers or crew people got romantically involved with one of the cast members and was fired for it. I think they tried to continue the relationship after she was fired. I'm guessing we haven't seen the last of Briam (Brian/Pam).

How is Jim an asshole? Because he was a slob and rude to Daryl? He realized what he was doing wrong and apologized.

No I mean the general way he is being a dick to Pam of late. Seems like a complete 180 for the character and the whole way they've presented them over the years. It's almost like they forced the whole troubled relationship story line because they already answered the big "will they or won't they" question all those seasons ago.

Other then the argument, he wasn't really a dick during these episodes.

I don't even know why they're messing with the Jim/Pam relationship. It's worked for years as-is being an anti-sitcom relationship. Every time in the past we think they're going to do what every sitcom does, Jim and Pam turn it around to show the strength of their relationship. Now, they're going against that. And as everyone has already stated, the mic-boom guy is just a horrible plot contrivance for the final season. Had they been introduced several seasons ago, we might have gone with it, but this is too much too late.

And the crew probably got Angela and Oscar to stage the whole "hiring a contract killer thing". Documentaries restage stuff they miss all the time.
