This is a first for 30 Rock- a season has ended and Liz, Jack and Jenna are all still in relationships. They usually crumble in the end, and it's nice to see something different. The idea that they've been matched with ideal partners makes me wonder if the show will be wrapping things up in season 5. On that note, it's a possibility that this is the end of the line for Kenneth- he's at first going to be promoted to LA, but is then fired. If this is the end, he didn't get a happy ending. He might be back though, and I don't know if I'd still watch the show without him.
Generally this season finale is consistently funny with good story construction. For humour, we have Julianne Moore describing sex for Kenneth and her kids, and Kenneth turning in a gun and Pete's odd facial expression. In terms of plot, it looks like Jack got one of his girlfriends pregnant, which picks up on a previous episode, Sun Tea, where Jack realized he would like to be a father. Liz has also met an ideal love interest. Played by Matt Damon, this character is a pilot who loves TGS- although that makes me question his taste. TGS has never looked like a quality show. 30 Rock, on the other hand, is a quality show, and has been for four years now. Here's hoping for a fifth.
