Last night, 30 Rock broke my heart and aired its final episode. However, the hour long special did not disappoint. The episode chronicles the Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) and the rest of the cast’s final episode of TGS. Lemon, who is reluctant to leave her job at NBC to become a stay-at-home mom, struggles with her husband Criss (James Marsden) to adjust to her career transition. Jack (Alec Baldwin), Tracy (Tracy Morgan), and Jenna (Jane Krakowski) also grapple with the ending of their show’s seven year run. Simultaneously, Kenneth (Jack McBrayer) is enjoying in his new position as the president of NBC. Ironically, the ending of TGS, the show-within-a-show, parallels the actual fate of the 30 Rock. Ultimately, the show ends with Lemon’s great granddaughter pitching the idea of 30 Rock to an ageless Kenneth Parcell in the future, Jetsons-esque hovercrafts and all.
