"Fair"

By thefanof, Jun 09, 2011

Ugh, Margaret Cho? Way to ruin 30 Rock. Her appearance here as ruthless dictator Kim Jong-il was disappointing, but that was to be expected given her involvement.

No one in this episode was really doing a good job though. Tracy may have said a few funny things, but the whole Liz storyline was downright terrible tonight. And the much-hyped Condoleeza Rice appearance definitely disappointed. For someone who was in politics and the US public for many years, she seemed like an 8th grader afraid of public speaking trying to give a book report out there.

Just a disappointing episode all around for 30 Rock.moreless

- Liz: I've got a new life philosophy that I call Lizbeanism. Jack: I see, and how did you come up with that name? Liz: Well, I'm Liz, and obviously my philosophy is simple, like a bean. I'm fixing problems in my personal life the same way I fix problems at work. I saved the show, now I'm gonna save me. Because Lizbeanism means that I am a dyke… against the rising waters of mediocrity.

- Liz: Someday this place is gonna be a kick-ass duplex like on Diff'rent Strokes. Jenna: Conrad Bain once slapped me in a men's room.

ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- During the tag, from Tracy's movie with Kim Jong-il, is a re-enactment of a scene from the 1992 film Glengarry Glen Ross. Kim Jong-il also says "Luke, I am your father," a common misquotation of a line from 1980's Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
