Finale

Television's finest hour and the only fitting conclusion to its greatest decade. For those who have been friends from Season 1, do not watch this with anyone you are not comfortable crying around, because you will. The writers and cast made every moment worth it, creating something much more than comedy. For those just tuning in, STOP. Do not watch this until you have seen the entire series. Trust me when I say that this episode is worth the wait, and the emotions it will evoke transcend TV and comprehension. For the cast and the writers, thank you will never do justice to all the gratitude we feel. It is in this episode that you find out once and for all how much these characters mean to you and what absolute work of art this is and will always be remembered as.

I've been a faithful viewer and have seen every episode. I disagree with many critics who have lambasted this final season. The problems were the "Sabre" years and the revolving door of managers. Although Kathy Bates and James Spader are excellent actors, they were sadly miscast. I was elated when David Wallace returned and saved the company. He was always my favorite upper-management character. This last season has returned to its roots and has been very good.

I was not looking forward to watching this finale because my expectations were low. The last long-running beloved comedy (Seinfeld) gave us a finale that was disappointing, to say the least. I was pretty sure my time was about to be wasted. I might not have even watched it at all if the turnaround this season hadn't been so pleasing. Actually, the final two episodes of this series are both excellent. I don't remember ever crying during an episode of The Office before. Anyone who hasn't watched all the previous episodes might not like the finale because they won't understand all the inside jokes. The cameos were laugh-out-loud and the way it all wrapped up brought unexpected tears to my eyes.

What can you say about the farewell of a show that has meant so much to so many people?It is the kind of event that you can only judge to some extent because at a certain point the "love letter to the fans" that Craig Daniels wrote draws you in emotionally and you end up loving it. I guess I deserve to give this show the best tribute I can. Let me start here, I am a teenager, and all my life I have been bullied and never had very many friends. The last few years have been especially tough for me and I have struggled with very intense things that have led to some very serious actions, to say the least. I have grown up with these characters as part of my life and throughout my life they have served as friends when I had no other ones. The last few years these characters have been there for me and seeing them grow has helped me grow. A show that means so much to me had to finish perfectly or it all would be ruined. Tonight I sat down already teary eyed knowing that they would be gone from my life in an hour. The episode delivered great laughs, but it delivered a lot more. The episode delivered very intimate moments that were much needed. Plot lines that begun throughout the show came to a good conclusion and old stars returned with perfect timing. It was a sweet, beautiful, amazing, perfect love letter from the amazing cast to all of it's fans. I must admit that I was in tears seeing how much the characters had grown since we first visited this little town of Scranton Pennsylvania. The story line of the friendship between Dwight and Jim is particularly heart- warming. Every character ended up just where they should have and the final shot was perfection. "Sometimes goodbyes are a *****" but this perfect love letter softened the blow. The show will be missed, but it did end perfectly.

This was a truly great ending to one of my favorite shows. now i will admit, since Michael Scott left the show wasn't as good. it was still enjoyable but some of it was disappointing. season 8 though was the most disappointing.... it felt like they barley tried. Season 9 was much better, funny and had some good drama but a few of the story lines they went with were a bit of a disappointment.

but this last episode was amazing! it came full circle.

i love the characters! we watched them really grow up in this show. but what really impressed me was DWIGHT! i have respect for him now. i am very happy with how they ended the show! the story itself was great. the directing was brilliant! Ken Kwapis did a great Job! the acting was spot on. and i don't want to spoil it.... but the cameos are perfect.

i love the ending's to these characters. Except Toby's.

but other then that it's the perfect way to end a epic show! this will be an episode i will remember forever.

goodbye, Office. i will miss you!

We all know the show sort of jumped the shark when Michael left, but I think it regained some sort of interest with the Jim and Pam storyline, and maybe even turned off some faithful viewers. I think the ending that answers all the questions on who's going where and with who and why.

When Michael came back, he was reintroduced in a perfect manner with the classic line we all know he owns.

The Jim and Pam storyline ended satisfyingly, but somewhat predictably.

I just think Toby's life was the only one that didn't end up happier than it was before haha, and maybe that was fittingly so.
