i couldn't bring myself to choose hated it. but well... yeah. and i don't know what to make of the avery situation. being kidnapped by a dictator is ridiculous but not a thought i want my fav characters to live with and do nothing about it but make jabs. but i also don't want avery back. i think all the unresolved stuff made me not really like this ep. it was like some pretty desperate sex with no CLIMAX (hahahahaha).
Yeah, that is exactly how I feel, except I totally picked hated it with no hesitation. It's weird, how much I totally want Avery to go away and yet so hate the way in which that happened. (But it permanent or not.)
Had you stuck with an indifferent option, I think that would have been the majority, but I respect your attempt to make us choose. I chose liked but only because I didn't hate it. I was more eh than anything, though

I really don't want to watch the show without Alec because he have such an amazing chemistry with Tina that nobody (if they decide to replace him which i hope not) can compete. Tina keeps repeating that she doesn't believe him when he says he wants to leave, i don't know why but she seems really sure that he won't leave. I saw an interview of Alec last night, he was saying that he doesn't want to starts politics now because "it means giving up what i'm doing now" ... so maybe he'll change his mind.
I'm inclined to agree with you, that it's probably unlikely that's the end of Avery. (Though part of me thinks, "well, what's the point of this plot if they don't want to get rid of her?" Because I think they could easily get away with not showing her that much, since it is a workplace-themed show, and we don't need to see Liz's boyfriend or Jack's wife all that much anyway.) And it is such a weird, irritating way to either get rid of her or keep her on the backburner, in any case, so I'm just a big question mark re: this whole thing. And I don't look forward to the thought of her return, even though I hate the idea of them getting rid of her this way, because I can't manage to be invested in their relationship. So, point is, I am super confused and don't get what the show is doing, too. As for what I will do if Jack leaves with Avery, I will complain on the internet. Which isn't something the show has been afraid of before, so I suppose that is not much of a threat. But a realistic prediction nonetheless

I keep coming back to the idea that Jack's a single father now, and with Liz's baby issues it's just so natural that those two things would come together. Not in a romantic way, but just a further extension of their bizarrely intimate relationship. The writers will disappoint people that want a little warmth with their 30 Rock, but it just makes *so much sense* in the logic of the show.
I really didn't have a problem with this "ending" for Avery. Partly because I find North Korea jokes really funny, but also I took her future not as one of hard slave labor, but instead basically as queen of North Korea. Not that marriage to someone you don't love in a horrible country is a great outcome, but it seems better than death, which is the other alternative that gives you the single-dad outcome. And part of me believes that Avery would adapt to being with Kim Jong Un pretty well.
