*** This Review Contains Spoilers ***
Well, I gotta say that this episode was, first of all, THE SADDEST episode of office throughout the whole series! I have to admit I had tears in my eyes while I was watching this episode. It totally caught me unprepared...
And I have to admit, I didn't even like Michael at the beginning of the series. I felt in love with other characters like Jim and Dwight, Pam and Angela.... and all the activities in the office, and Michael was always just their boss from who they are hiding from, and play bizarre interesting games while he is out. But then, season after season, I grew into liking him and realized he was the indispensable part of the series.
And what a great person (and I do not want to say "turned out to be" but) he is - is what we saw in this episode. Just, almost every minute of it I felt like my heart was breaking. And that conversation Jim and Michael had..... no words for it, really. At that point you must feel that something wonderful is coming to an end. It all made sense; as Michael put it in the first episode (I think) - he was first of all their friend, then their boss and then their entertainer.
I am just not sure how the office will function without Michael. He was "the father", "the soul" and the strongest link of them all. Maybe this was the end of the series, who knows, we shall see. If you haven't seen this episode, well, all I can say is - get your handkerchiefs ready, because it will make you cry....... that's what she said!
