I’ll watch on DVR and check in later. I think this season has been kind of up and down because they’re trying to resolve the plot arcs of so many characters, but I thought last week’s episode was close to perfect. ---

With the way last week’s episode seemed to wrap so many storylines up, I wonder if they’ll do something like jump ahead into the future - or maybe parody several different famous series finales. ---

I only wish Mother Donaghy had lived to see this episode. Otherwise it’s time to go- it jumped the shark a while back and besides that it’s time for Tracy Morgan to go broke. Speaking of, Liz and Criss- not sure if I believe them as a couple. (And while she’s a lot more successful than he is financially, what other than that does he see in her? She’s neurotic, self absorbed, shrill, and doesn’t appreciate she’s with a guy who looks amazingly like Jason Marsden.) ---

One thing we do know about the finale, and I’ll spoiler this even though it’s been in the news: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi makes a guest appearance and calls Jack Donaghy “an economic war criminal.” I’m hoping they don’t plan to undo the ending for that particular character. ---

Someone needs to go back and pause the screen to see Kenneth’s “no-no” list of words for TV shows on NBC. I would not be surprised if it is a list that comprises unusual adjectives/concepts that have actually lead to successful shows on networks. ---

So it just kind of ended. No huge finale moments, really. A pretty good episode. ---

Conan was rather noticeably green-screened into the elevator sequence. ---

> [@randwill](#): > > Conan was rather noticeably green-screened into the elevator sequence. Yeah, I immediately noticed that too! Don’t know if it was just scheduling or if Conan really didn’t want to set foot on NBC property. And I also immediately knew where they were going when the building turned into a snow globe (the infamous _St. Elsewhere_ finale). And I guess Kenneth really is immortal… ---

I thought that the first half-hour was much funnier than the second. We settled the whole Jack and Liz love each other business several episodes ago when they shared a bed. Jenna’s true love being her mirror - now that’s comedy. ---
