Finale wrap-up: "30 Rock"

The deliciously dysfunctional ensemble comedy's season-ender rushes to tie up loose ends. Don't leave us, Alec Baldwin!

    Heads should roll...

    ...if NBC can't successfully market this brilliant comedy.

    Fey knows a thing or two about ensembles, which is probably the only reason 30 Rock is 30 Rock and not The Alec Baldwin Show (even when his character figures prominently). As wickedly funny as Baldwin is, the show - with its killer cast and smart writing to match - is *easily* strong enough to withstand his departure.

    If the series meets a premature end, it will be because of the usual gross incompetence on the part of the network.
