  • Finally, a good 30 Rock.

    30 Rock has been pretty stagnant this season, but this episode single handedly restored my faith in this show and proved why this is the best comedy on TV. The "if you blink you miss it" jokes were there with too many to count (Jenna eating the pig from Babe, the LA representatives using LegoLand as proof their city is good) and Tracy was absolutely hilarious in a funny parody of the Tiger Woods situation (as opposed to what South Park did last night.)



    Even Wesley was pretty funny tonight. I'm glad he will be returning in May. Just a brilliant, hilarious episode tonight and probably my favorite episode of TV this week.
  • Part comedy gold, part lazy stereotypes.

    Video pod, foot cycle? Show me an English person that uses words like that and I'll eat my socks. Just the height of laziness, English people are often stereotyped as eccentric, let's make up some ridiculous sounding words and claim that's how they speak, after all no one will complain. We must be the last group of people that writers can be so lazy with and not be accused of racism.



    Michael Sheen is normally brilliant, but he sounded like an English person that has lived in Wales and started to pick up the accent, probably something that most viewers in America won't pick up on. The actor is Welsh and obviously thought 'no one will notice so I won't try to nail the accent'. Again, laziness and from a fine actor that actually knows the difference between a Welsh person and an English person.



    Aside from these gripes, the rest of the episode was great, but that is even sadder, they worked to make this episode work well but couldn't be bothered to portray us as we actually are.



    In summary, Don Geiss frozen like Han Solo/porn for women, both brilliant, claiming that I and 50 odd million other people would call a video camera a video pod just dumb.
