Dangit woman! Gotta write these down.
So we all talk about what makes us sad in the finale, but what's everyone's favorite moment in that episode? Mine is definitely Michael and Brian together in Babylon, like old times. And Michael makes that speech to Brian and inspires him to rebuild the club.
Brian seems so defeated in that moment, he's walking away and he's like, 'You dance, Mikey, I'm too...' and Michael's like, "What, too OLD?" He knew what to say.
I would've been destroyed if they hadn't reconciled their friendship by the end. But it went beyond that, Michael actually helped him to keep living his life, even though he was somewhat heartbroken. He encouraged Brian to be the real Brian Kinney again.
