Anyone who claims to be a fan of the The Office remembers Michael Scotts goodbye episode, titled "Goodbye, Michael."

But Jenna Fischer, who plays Pam Beesly on the show, recently gave "Office" fans a little more info about Michael Scott's final scene.

In the episode, Michael catches a flight to Colorado, where he plans to meet his fiance Holly and begin their life together.

Before he gets on his flight, Pam catches him at the airport, having been away from the office when Scott said goodbye to the rest of his colleagues. The two embrace in a hug and have a brief conversation before Scott heads off to Colorado. The scene was shot at a distance, so the audience doesn't hear more than muffled airport chatter.

Now, Fischer finally revealed what her character told Michael in those final moments.

"That was me talking to Steve (Carell). I told him all the ways I was going to miss him when he left our show. Those were real tears and a real goodbye," Fischer said during an Instagram live stream, according to Mashable. "That was a really emotional scene."

You can watch the entire scene here, with that added context.

Rumors continue to swirl that NBC may revive The Office," but not with entire original cast, thanks in part to NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt's recent comments to The Hollywood Reporter, the Deseret News reported.

The shows actors remain split about whether or not to bring back the show. John Krasinski, who played Jim on the show, seems to support it. But Carell, meanwhile, doesnt seem too keen on bringing back the show.

"I don't want to be a jerk about it, but I think people who like the show originally would want it to come back exactly the way it was, but that could never happen because all the writers would be different, and I just wouldn't want to recreate something that was a very, very specific moment in time," he told "Entertainment Tonight." "I kind of don't want to do it because I love the show so much. I think people would be disappointed. I really do."
Its toxic: New study says blue light from tech devices can speed up blindness

It turns out checking Twitter or Facebook before bed is bad for your health.

A new study from the University of Toledo found that blue light from digital devices can transform molecules in your eyes retina into cell killers.

That process can lead to age-related macular degeneration, which is a leading cause of blindness in the United States, according to the researchs extract.

Blue light is a common issue for many modern Americans. Blue light is emitted from screens, most notably at night, causing sleep loss, eye strain and a number of other issues.

Dr. Ajith Karunarathne, assistant professor in the UT Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, said our constant exposure to blue light cant be blocked by the lens or cornea.

"It's no secret that blue light harms our vision by damaging the eye's retina. Our experiments explain how this happens, and we hope this leads to therapies that slow macular degeneration, such as a new kind of eye drop, he said.

Macular degeneration is an incurable eye disease that often affects those in their 50s or 60s. It occurs after the death of photoreceptor cells in the retina. Those cells need retinal to sense light and help signal the brain.

The research team found blue light exposure created poisonous chemical molecules that killed photoreceptor cells

"It's toxic. If you shine blue light on retinal, the retinal kills photoreceptor cells as the signaling molecule on the membrane dissolves," said Kasun Ratnayake, a Ph.D. student researcher working in Karunarathne's cellular photo chemistry group. "Photoreceptor cells do not regenerate in the eye. When they're dead, they're dead for good."

However, the researchers found a molecule called alpha-tocopherol, which comes from Vitamin E, can help prevent cell death, according to Futurism.

The researchers plan to review how light from TVs, cellphones and tablet screens affect the eyes as well.

"If you look at the amount of light coming out of your cellphone, it's not great but it seems tolerable," said Dr. John Payton, visiting assistant professor in the UT Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. "Some cellphone companies are adding blue-light filters to the screens, and I think that is a good idea."

Indeed, Apple released a Night Shift mode two years ago to help quell blue lights strain on the eyes, according to The Verge. The screen will dim into a warmer, orange light that will cause less stress on the eyes.
