When I heard about the Finer Things Club, I immediately knew that Oscar was going to be a member. I think Oscar had the best line in the episode with "Besides having sex with men, I would say the Finer Things Club is the gayest thing about me." The montage of club with their funny berets and Memoirs of a Geisha discussion was great too.
It's debatable whether Oscar didn't want Jim in the club. I can see why he wouldn't because Jim never takes anything seriously. I think Toby might have started the whole thing out his crush on Pam and recruited Oscar for his cause.
The look on Oscar's face when Andy grabbed the finger sandwich was priceless: "You did not just grab one of my finger sandwiches. Ooh, uh uh. Don't play."
The great thing about the club is that when the characters are talking about the text they are really talking about themselves. Pam talks about a character's struggle to choose from "passion and convention" while Oscar admires a character's "youthfulness, his freedom". Pam and Oscar also discuss the bravery of the author, a quality that is becoming increasingly important for both of the characters.
