My Whole Life Is Thunder

As a peace offering, Jenna is invited to accompany Liz to a reception honoring the "80 Under 80" from an organization called Women in Media.

Jenna eventually admits that she is having trouble adjusting to the new power balance in their relationship, as Liz has more success in her life.

The award ceremony features cameos from Pat Battle, Judy Gold, Gayle King, Sue Simmons, and Wendy Williams.

"[4] Roth Cornet of IGN also gave the episode a positive review, stating "the irreverent, free-association humor continues to sing" and "there is a surreal tone to the series that helps it to stand out in a sea of generic and formulaic offerings.

"[5] Amy Amatangelo of Paste magazine gave the episode an 8.9 out of 10, describing it as "the perfect Jenna venue" and highly praised the final appearance of Elaine Stritch as Colleen Donaghy, commenting "Stritch has been a wonderful recurring character on the show, and Colleen deserved this bittersweet final goodbye.

"My Whole Life Is Thunder" was Elaine Stritch's eighth and final appearance on the show, marking her inclusion in all seven seasons.
