What a great finale. I'm sad and smiling at the same time.

The female writer that finally had a line is a friend of my wife's maid of honor. Good to hear her finally get a line after a couple years.

Also, I was actually incredibly moved by the Jenna/Mirror scene, no fooling.
You could tell that Jack McBrayer was doing his best not to cry. So was I.

I'm just glad Jacob's plan for Kenneth was so benevolent after all.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Hahaha, amazing.

Just got a text from Liz Lemon about spoiler tagging posts:
"Show's over, nerds."
Weird. I didn't even know she had my number.

haven't scanned the thread because I'm avoiding spoilers but here's a behind the scenes article about the final days filming 30 Rock.

What an amazing finale!!!
Loved that it was all a pitch from Liz's Great grand daughter...
Also, did I see a transport vehicle from Cloud City fly by?

Hahahahahaha yeah that was pretty great.
Gonna miss this show.
Jack's realization 30 seconds after undocking was awesome. That final scene, goddamn immortal Kenneth, hahaha.
Jacks' roundabout way of saying how he felt for Liz without literally saying that word was a great way for them to end that relationship I thought.

Good finish to the show, but one of the least funny episodes I've seen. It was 60 minutes but I think I only laughed twice.
I did like it. It just wasn't funny.

Has anyone else found other accounts of the making of the last episode/ retrospect of the show?
Reading that one got me more choked up than the actual finale.
Cornballer, thank you for putting in work as usual and making this thread not suck entirely!
Also! Yes:
The fact that this isn't called "Good God, Lemon!" is the biggest missed opportunity in the history of the world.

That would have been awesome but they probably didn't want to put a holy exclamation on a food product.

This is the best series finale I've ever seen. The Yoda bit, the mirror scene, the Rural Juror musical, Hayek, Moore, "what the what", the forum bit, "I've never met Mickey Rourke", etc.
It was so perfect I almost cried.

That might have been the most perfect ending to a show ever.

Really, a perfect ending to the series. Not much more to be said.
"That's our show. Not a lot of people watched it, but the joke's on you, because we got paid anyway."
Hilarious finale. The jarring edit after Liz's joke about cable, Jenna's reaction to LAX, Tracy claiming to have released his snakes, Grizz and Hers, Pete faking his death, Kenneth being immortal: all cracked me up. Do wish there would have been a few more guest stars, Conan was awkwardly perfect though.
I will say though: it didn't hit me emotionally a ton. I did really love the Jack and Liz goodbye (along with the brilliant dishwasher idea), and Liz saying goodbye to Tracy. However nothing about it felt mega-final, which is fine because that's the point. That this crazy cartoon world never dies, that TV and stories in general are always popping up to allow us to laugh at how messed up everything is. So I honestly don't feel like I've lost that much. The show was so dense and assured in the depictions of its characters that the way the ending worked didn't make me think I was losing anything, just seeing the last episode after which I can go back and join the world at anytime.
Dunno where I'm going with this. And this seems critical of the finale. I guess what I'm trying to say is how I've felt about 30 Rock all along: its confidence and consistency never made me feel like I was on a metaphorical roller-coaster ride, so I don't feel a final drop and a slowing down right now. I just feel like something immortal was and is around.

I just watched the last episode after ditching the show a few seasons ago, how long has she been married to Cyclops?

Half of this season, but he was introduced the beginning of last season.

What a wonderful finale. Love that this show is going out at the top of its game.
EDIT: Need to track down the lyrics to the Rural Juror song.

Finished watching it (West coast, etc) just now, and wow. What an amazing finale. I found the first half of the last season to be kind of weak, but the last few episodes were phenomenal. It's insane that the crew managed to keep the show so fresh after all these seasons. I'm going to miss Liz and Jack ;_;

They covered this actually. Something like his first words being "Mama my body is merely a vessel for an ageless being"

Dammit, every time I read a Deadline piece I forget how bitter and stupid the majority of Deadline commenters are.
BTW, I've had a completely rational dislike for Justin Bartha since he was the worst part (and leading actor) in the pretty bad sitcom "Teachers". (I guess he's fine in his two or three minutes per Hangover movie.)

I am a chimpanzee in a laboratory who has learned to read and type and I recently stumbled across this website. Is this really what humans are like? Why? Are you all unhappy about something? What about the beauty that is to be found all around you?
