A Goons Deed

7.0

By thefanof, Jan 26, 2013

A rare emotional episode of 30 Rock here, but it actually worked, getting you to feel as Liz realized her lifelong dream of kids and TGS regrettably met its end.

It's still not nearly as funny as it once was, the over the top movie proposed by Tracy and Jenna gave me more of a headache than a chuckle, but it was a solid buildup to the last episode ever next week.moreless

ADD ALLUSIONS
- The storyline with Jack and Kenneth interviewing candidates for a replacement to run the company is portrayed in a similar vein to that of the story in the movie, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971). Some of the lines in the episode are also directly lifted from the movie. For example, near the end, when Jack gives the position to Kenneth, "I've giving it to you, the whole thing" was a line from the movie.
  EDIT SHARE
- The Episode Title is Jack's paraphrase of William Shakespeare's words from Act 5, Scene 1 of The Merchant of Venice - So shines a good deed in a naughty world. In Jack's sudden realization, Kenneth is like Portia's shining candle until now outshone by the greater light of others. Making a page into the (king) president of the network might be the ultimate goon tactic of Jack Donaghy.
