if you don't believe me, what's the point?

Okay, so after working so damn hard for so long to not get spoiled for the Ashes finale, the inevitable happened. I was sifting through my Google alerts and of course, I happened to stumble upon the Daily Mail spoilers. The picture came up in the email before I had the chance to exit the window. I didn't read the article, but the pictures were

I feel your sadness, Jack/Liz-wise. And I feel even sadder that a lot of people (ok a few on my f-list) are distancing themselves from the show because of Tina and Robert Carlock's comments. But there is a sad little optimist in me that still wants to cling on to the hope that they will get together at the end. Somehow I get the feeling that Tina's main problem with the ship is that she is nervous writing and acting in love scenes especially with a long term cast member ie Alec, especially when her husband is on set with her 24/7. Also I feel like TPTB doesn't dare to hook them up with a couple of seasons to go because they all know (and stupidpeople keep telling them) that there is no going back from hooking their two leads up and it is a huge risk to take. Which is why I am not giving up on them because I remain stubborn in thinking that TPTB have not made up their minds yet, simply because there are still at least 2 seasons more and imo, they know they are having a difficult time finding actors/actresses who are right for both of them.

But I join you in wanting to punch Jack's face right now but Avery & Nancy are not going to stay on the show since I don't think either actress wants to tie herself down, especially to a story arc that everybody hates. So I am looking forward to the time, hopefully somewhere in the near future ie the next episode, where he goes back to being his awesome self again (minus the part where he falls in love every few months).

You know, I too still have a tiny, tiny bit of hope that they're just playing us all and that Jack/Liz has been their endgame all along, but that hope keeps getting crushed by all these damn interviews! I think you're right about the whole love scene thing- she's said many times in the past that she's super-uncomfortable with romantic stuff on camera, and you can understand why, I suppose, but still...

I just really don't agree with Tina's comment about how getting them together would be lazy. I don't know about you, but I'd be way more annoyed if they ended the show with Liz just marrying some random guy. I think that would be the lazy way out. I really hope you're right, because I can't see anyone being as perfect for Liz as Jack.

Yeah, that's what I'm pleased about as well! Hopefully they both just dump him for being an ass. I miss awesome!Jack so much! I don't think I've liked any of Jack's romantic plotlines, aside from maybe the C.C one. Hopefully next year's inevitable love interest is better.

She's being lazy by thinking that 'doing it' (juvenile!) is the only way for them to get together.

We don't have to be shown sexytiems (though I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO) or even kissing to be shown that a stronger relationship exists...

[omnomnom17]

ITA. I absolutely adore Tina, but that comment really annoyed me. As lovely as some making out would be, I'd also be fine with an ending where they finally realise how perfect they are for each other and how much they mean to each other. The main thing that's drawn us all into shipping them is their emotional connection, anyway.

I'm going to have to talk to some food and seasons 1&2 about the lack of Jack/Liz friendship going on ...

[omnomnom17]

Yes! Many deep and meaningful conversations with cheese are in order, I think. *runs to the fridge*

It just makes me so sad, because their friendship has always been the best thing about 30 Rock, IMO.

Hopefully Jack will be single soon (or at least not juggling/concentrating on N&A) and able to be friends again...

[omnomnom17]

Single!Jack is my favourite kind of Jack. I find most of his relationship storylines a little dull. Is it mean that I'm hoping that by the end of the finale, he'll be single?

[peoplewantducks]

He's a lot funnier that way (and happier), so I don't think it's mean ;P
