Before I get to this week’s episode I’d like to do a quick recap of the last two episodes that I’ve thus far neglected.
“Christening”:
My brother watched this episode before I did & told me it was terrible. When I started it I was wondering why he had such a negative opinion, then I finished the episode and felt the same way.
The main storyline deserved credit for keeping Michael’s character arc reasonable. It makes sense that he would get caught up in the church group’s enthusiasm (especially when the other member of the office were being so insufferable, not surprisingly with Ryan leading the way) & volunteer to join them on their trip to Mexico. The problem was that the payoff of Andy & him throwing a tantrum to get off the bus to Mexico wasn’t overly rewarding in either laughs or character development.
