Recap of Branch Wars

Branch Wars is over and I don’t think it ranks among my favorite. Though I didn’t have it I felt it just wasn’t up to par with the earlier episodes.  Here are my thoughts and comments.

I loved it when Michael referenced the Dundies and asked Jim to promise to host the Dundies if he dies.  I love that this show goes back to prior episodes and mentions little details like that. It makes it more real.

Dwight in the car peeing in the can was an absolute LOL moment.

The car scene was a bit silly and might have been made better if we had a “shotgun” call out in the beginning.

Phyllis popcorn making was classic….how many buttons did she have to push to get the microwave to turn on…seemed like at least 20 pings and then Kevin trying to get something out of the vending machine and then rocking it like crazy! Too funny.

Toby is getting a bit too wierd.

The only thing I really didn’t like about Karen was when she had the three of them sitting down facing her like kids in time-out mainly because Michael is equal in rank to her! But then again most managers would not try to steal the copier machine either.

I always love Stanley’s lines….in the beginning when Michael is rigging the dummy aka “Ferris Bueller” and Stanley comes in and says “wouldn’t they feel worse seeing you sleeping in your office than being out of the office” (paraphrasing..I know he said it better than that which made it really hilarious).

The scene of them in the car did take me back to The Injury without Michael yelling and explaining the rules of shotgun.

I didn’t really like Jim cowering to Karen. I thought he should have stood up to her and just told her flat out that he is sorry but that’s life and he came to the conclusion that he couldn’t give her the love that she deserved.

Having said all that, what I loved the most about BW was when Jim was in the car and just realized they weren’t going to Staples and he got all mad and asked to get a cab and then Michael said something like “don’t you want to be in on the prank?”.  Even though Jim didn’t want to be in on the prank, I felt as though he didn’t want it to go horribly wrong so he agreed to help in order for nothing really bad to happen.

Use to have two cars, traded ‘em in, now we’re down to one. Good economic sense. Although the new car is a Porsche. For her.-Michael
