Michael's last season. I could go into more detail, but there's no need. Still feeling the void two years later, so, yeah.
Because it was his last season, they brought a lot of people back. Michael gets a cold sore and thinks he should contact all the women he slept with over the years. This gets us Jan, Helene, Carol, Donna, and Holly. His conversation with Holly leads to Michael confronting his feelings about their relationship that had been cut short. "Classy Christmas" brought Holly back to Scranton, even though she was still dating AJ. How did I become so invested in Michael's love life?
She eventually gets her life together and realizes that Michael is the guy for her. "Garage Sale" is just the best. It's the ultimate ending for Michael. He has (we have) waited so long for this to happen, and it finally did. He finally found the woman of his dreams and can finally start the family he's wanted since he was a child on Fundle Bundle. So I finally understand, Steve. I never understand how you could leave, but I guess there was nothing left to say. I would love a cameo appearance in the final episode, though. (Tears everywhere)
"Threat Level Midnight" brought back a lot of people from the past to say goodbye, in a way. I'm so glad they brought the screenplay back from season 2. It was hilarious then, and it's even more hilarious when it's acted out.
"Michael's Last Dundies" = just tears everywhere.
"Goodbye Michael" is everything. Michael says goodbye to everyone in his own way and it's perfect. His goodbyes to Jim and Pam are two of my top moments of the whole show. Jim says what we're all thinking and Pam chases him down to say goodbye at the airport. It's the best ending for him. (More tears all over the place)
I feel bad for Will Ferrell's role this season, because it was a no win situation. No amount of guest stars could ever make up for losing Michael Scott. He was everything. I'm a Will Ferrell fan, but DeAngelo was terrible. I feel bad the writers were put in the predicament to try and fix the void. They tried, I think, but it was awful. Do yourself a favor and watch "Goodbye Michael" and then skip to season 9.
Also, how hot was Mindy Kaling this season? (She's basically my idol.)
Episodes to watch:
"Nepotism"
"Sex Ed"
"Classy Christmas"
"Ultimatum"
"The Search"
"Threat Level Midnight"
"Garage Sale"
"Michael's Last Dundies"
"Goodbye Michael"
**"Counseling" is pretty hilarious.
