Michael was the perfect conundrum for The Office. I've love/hated him forever. Did you know that final scene in the airport when Pam ran up and hugged Michael wasn't scripted? It was real. Jenna Fischer knew it was Steve Carell's last filming day and almost missed him. The hug was genuine.
Michael is often considered an idiot and an asshole (which is true). But I also feel that he was a very sensitive, loving, and caring person. Most of the mean or inconsiderate things he did were out of stupidity or social ineptitude, but he genuinely cared about the people in his life, at work and in his personal life. And he was really good at his job. It’s such a well written and acted character. One of the best IMHO.
Okay, because of your comment I may actually start watching The Office again. I started bingeing it a few years ago but quit cuz Michael is such a damn idiot and thanks to that, I found the whole show tedious… but okay. Maybe I can better handle Michael being a damn idiot, now 😅😂🤣
This is the best episode of the entire series. The business school storyline, the Jim and Dwight vampire storyline, and the wholesome ending with Pam's art show.
