(NG-225) (TV-14 D, L)

I forgot that Taylor Swift was in this. Kind of a worthless role, not sure why they bothered with that.

I liked Nick and Jess, but always have, so i'm happy to see the episode end like that. Loved that the actually went and did one of Winston's pranks.

Great Season Finale. Loved the hijinks. Loved Schmidt deciding to run away when faced with who he should be with.

The cutaway to Nick in the car fist pumping to Cottoneye Joe while out with Jess cracked me up.

I really liked the payoff of them always having Winston go over the top with prank suggestions all year... then actually letting him do one. In the most absurd way...

Really no reason Taylor Swift was in that role. I don't get it.

Well... until next season...

Yeah, plus there's probably not a single woman under 50 named Elaine in the entire world. Now if they could have gotten Julia Louis Dreyfuss for the cameo we'd have something.......

Wellll, I do know ONE Elaine in her 20's.

I also dated a Sharon..and she's probably the only one under 50.

Oh yeah, great episode.

Also don't buy Schmidt's tough choice. CECE DUMBASS!

Schmidt's choice seems obvious at a glance, but the last couple episodes tried to show Schmidt realizing how he was a douche and that Elizabeth got him to remember the way he was before. I'm not sure they gave that enough time to make it seem like a tough choice though, especially since there was considerably more episodes spent with him chasing after Cece.

even though it has only been a few episodes, I think they illustrated quite well that Elizabeth liked the strange/quirky schmidt when he was still overweight. That she really 'gets' everything about him.

I actually hope they keep Merritt Wever around next year..I know she has Nurse jackie, but I really like her dynamic that she adds.

The fist pumping to Cotton Eye Joe was also pretty hilarious.

Well we have to remember that he did date her for four years in College, so its not like she is a complete stranger to him (to us yes)

I think the use of Taylor Swift was great, not knowing she was in the episode helped out a good bit (I hadn't seen any ads and saw it on Hulu).

There's something strangely cinematic about New Girl, which is pretty rare on sitcoms and I give them props for it, there have been several episodes this season that could have been a segment extracted out of a movie. Having a celebrity being the "unknown" girl that appears out of nowhere fit perfectly.

Winston seemed like he was high the entire episode.

I had no idea Taylor Swift was going to be in this so it cracked me up when she popped up. Great season, though I wonder how they're going to proceed from here. Keeping Nick and Jess as a couple is going to get really boring really fast. And I hope they find something for Winston to do next season.

You just know Rednex and their fans were loving this episode.

I've always loved the song myself.
