No. Of course not. But it was an emotional episode of “The Office,” last night, and though there are two episodes left, in some ways it had the feeling of a finale. It won’t erase the declining quality of series since Jim and Pam’s wedding, or worse, since Michael Scott’s departure, but if “The Office” had been as good as it was last night over the last four seasons, a lot of people would be sadder to see it go. As it is, despite complaints about the series overstaying its welcome, it’s hard not to feel something for these characters with whom we’ve been with for nine years. The last couple of episodes, and especially last night’s, began to pay emotional dividends, and while they won’t match our investments, at least there is some payoff.
