Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJan Hooks made her final acting appearance ever as Jenna's mom Verna after a personal pitch from Tina Fey, who had idolized Hooks ever since her successful stint as a regular on Saturday Night Live (1975) and had tried unsuccessfully to get Hooks to work on other projects with her. Hooks worked so rarely, by choice, in the last decade of her life that this was the only time she accepted a live-acting role before she died in 2014.
- Quotes
Jack Donaghy: Lemon, there is a word, a once special word, that's been tragically co-opted by the romance-industrial complex, and I would hate to use it here and have you think that I am suggesting any kind of romantic sentiment let alone an invitation to scale bone mountain. It's a word that comes to us by way of the old high German "luba" from the Latin "lubere", meaning "to be pleasing", so I am going to use this word to describe how I feel about you in the way that our Anglosaxon forefathers would have used it in reference to, say, uh, a hot bowl of bear meat, or your enemy's skull, split...
Liz Lemon: I love you too, Jack.

In this case though the structure provides a good base for everyone to do what they always have done to good effect. There isn't much new in here but it still feels fresh and regularly funny when the characters do the things we know they will do. So Liz is Liz, Jack is Jack, Tracey is Tracey and so on. It works well for the most part and it is only when the plot needs to come to a head for the final few episodes that it doesn't feel quite as solid but even then it works pretty well. The cast are all on very good form indeed and they benefit from less silliness and plenty of very good lines and scenes throughout the season. The many guest stars I could perhaps have done without because they often bring little more than novelty to their bit – apart from Conan O'Brien, whose appearance made me wonder why they bothered using something with such terrible split-screen effects.
Overall though this is a solid final season. The structure of the plots hold it together and provides control in the middle of silly bits and plenty of good lines. Again not as good as it was at its best but certainly not disappointing; a good way for all the characters to bow out.
