Great season finale!

9.5

Another great story from the our nerd queen of comedy, Tina Fey! This time, she brought a lot of serious problems but still could kick it out to comedy.

Jack has moved to Washington DC and work with Cooter (Matthew Broderick) and he realizes that he misses working at NBC and wants to do anything to get back. So these two were trying to get their asses fired by his ex-girlfriend, C.C. (Edie Falco).

Jack's life in the White House is a little harsh joke if you really into politics of US, but the lines were so great that you'll forget about it.

Tracy releases his video game porn with Jenna's voice as the girl. And in the end, he asked Frank to play it and Frank ended up playing it for 3 months!

The story that I love the most is Liz's pregnancy scare. In the memory scene, she ran into her ex-boyfriend, Dennis Duffy and they had a drunk one night stand. And in the episode, Liz's realized that she missed her period. And then she took pregnancy tests and reveal that she was pregnant. Like always, Liz tries to talk to Jack, but she only got to his voicemails.

In the end of the episode, we reveal that she wasn't pregnant, that it all was just a false alarm.

I love Liz's voice in Jack's voicemail when she told him that she wasn't pregnant. I geo a little emotional, because Alec's face and Tina's voice in the scene, i thought that it would be a really sad one. But of course, Tina Fey wrote it out as a joke again, so in the end, i couldn't cry.

Love it!moreless

In the episode Jack gets the new job and sad because the dont even have pens. He tried to find a way out with a special gueststar. MB. Liz thinks she is pregant. Thinking it was Dennis. Only to discover in the end it was the snake bull sperm that effected the test. Tracy finally finishes his game and it goes over well with the crew it's going to be HUGE no puns used...Kenneth tries out for the olymic thing. Ands gets some help with a castmemer. Overall all this episode went over allright the ending peice was probably the best part of this episodemoreless

Great lines. Not a great story, though. I would have loved to watch more of the porn video game plot. Some lines are wicked genius!

If I compare this season finale with first season finale, I would have to say that the first one was better. Also, after chapter 14 "Succession", I was expecting an even better chapter, but that didn't happen anyway. Baldwin's acting is at the top of the top, what a great performance! And Broderick also made a great acting. I love Liz Lemon, but I was expecting more crazy from her. There were too many stories running and very little time. So, the writers had to run. I think that complicated everything. So, I think this final chapter would have been better if it was splited in 2 chapters. That's my opinion. It's a classic one, anyway!moreless

Liz has a pregnancy scare, Jack moves to DC to work with Cooter and Tracy finally finishes his video game.

The season finale of 30 Rock...The biggest shocker would have to be that Liz may or may not have slept with Dennis Duffy! She ran into him one night and she was very drunk and she asked him up to her place. Take us to present day and Liz has missed her period. She takes four pregnancy tests and all four reveal that she is pregnant. She tries to leave many voicemails to Jack but has no luck reaching him, because Jack has moved to Washington DC to work with a man nicknamed Cooter (Matthew Broderick) and has to go head-to-head with his ex, Celeste "CC" Cunningham. He realizes that he misses working at NBC and wants to do anything to get back. Finally Tracy releases his video game porn and lets Frank test it out and turns out that Frank played it for three months straight! Oh yeah Liz was not pregnant, her cheese chips she loves were made with bull semen. Gross.moreless

Jack heads to Washington D.C.

8.6

By thefanof, May 09, 2008

This is another example of why 30 Rock is the best comedy on TV. Classic lines and countless laughs clustered throughout a 22 minute block of television. No other comedy on TV is as funny or well-scripted as 30 Rock is.

Good usage of Donny in this episode, but Kathy Geiss is really growing to be very irritating. When Devin Banks isn't there to get laughs off her, she's even worse. Tracy's porn video game is also kind of childish and lame, and those points had to be deducted from the overall rating of the episode. Dennis also should be used more regularly as he always provides some laughs. Cooter was also yet another great character created by 30 Rock.

Another strong episode of the show, and possibly the best episode of any TV show this week.moreless
