The Office 4X05 [4X11]

All television episode posts are spoilery. Please do not read if you haven’t yet seen the episode, and intend to.

This episode has its ups and downs for me. It definitely wasn’t a favorite of this season.

It cracked me up to see Michael’s play on Survivorman, but I didn’t feel like they really did all they could with it. I mean, they didn’t even show anything happening to Michael in reaction to the mushrooms. He didn’t actually eat them, but he ingested bits and nothing happened. *shrug*

The whole story with no one wanting to combine Birthdays was a good idea, but they really didn’t make it entertaining…that’s not at all how I’d expect the characters from The Office to react.

And really, where was this random seriousness with Jim? That seemed to come out of the blue to me. I don’t like what they seem to be setting up. Is Jim supposed to have some sort of freak out now and try to get away from this job? Meh–this isn’t a drama, what are we going for here guys?
