As good as the season finale of 30 Rock was -- and as winningly charming and funny as Matt Damon wound up being -- there was something unavoidably disappointing about the whole thing. Because Liz Lemon's new boyfriend -- the seemingly perfect-for-her pilot, Carroll -- is played by Matt Damon, you know it isn't going to end well. And that's too bad. If there is one problem with the parade of famous guest stars on 30 Rock, it's just that: They're famous guests. Like Matt Damon is going to stop making movies to spend the rest of his career rubbing Liz Lemon's "disgusting foot secret?" No, of course he's not.
While Liz was busy finding love, Jack finally decided between Julianne Moore's Nancy and Elizabeth Banks's Avery... by not really deciding at all. Nancy wound up relenting when she found out that Avery was pregnant with Jack's baby. Because, sure. And because it's probably cheaper for 30 Rock to keep Elizabeth Banks around for a few more episodes than it is for them to keep Julianne Moore. But, hey: Anything that gets rid of Moore's Boston accent is fine by me.
