I wholeheartedly agree. I saw some episodes then I skipped straight to the series finale when I watched the first time.

That's a great question. I suppose, now thinking about it, the answer is True. Because I can picture it perfectly, and then the episodes that follow, I can like, gather key words together but nothing more. Idris Elba, Will Ferrell, James Spader. Don't even remember the 2013 finale!! Wow. Maybe I should go rewatch that...

To me, The Office ended when Jim and Pam got together. That was how the Uk Office ended, and it also happened to coincide with Jim and Pam's peak likability. When they started becoming self-righteous, there was no one to really align with anymore, which made it a difficult watch for me, to be honest. 

To me, The Office jumped the shark the second Michael drove into the lake. Guy’s a dolt, but that was just insane. Never came back after. 

I have a confession: once Michael Scott packed his bags and moved to Colorado, I more or less left Dunder Mifflin behind, too. While I did watch the actual series finale in 2013 (it was pretty good!) and I caught a few post-Michael episodes here and there (Robert California was the actual worst, right?), as far as I'm concerned The Office ends when Michael departs. Am I the only one that feels this way, or to consider yourself a real fan of The Office do you have to stick it out to the bittersweet end? 

True or false: the last "real" episode of The Office is Michael's last ep?
