Finally watched it, and I had a single tear trail from my eye in the end.

I know a lot of people didn't like that Micheal died, I didn't either, but that's like you know? You can't always have a happy ending. Micheal beat everything external which was thrown at him, but he couldn't beat what was internal. And really, he overworked that poor brain of his during the course of the four seasons, its no wonder it went out on him!
