I was about to write about how little seems to be going on in 30 Rock this season. Apparently I'm not smart. Here's a few things that are ongoing:
- NBC has been bought by Kabletown
- Don Geiss is dead
- Liz is desperate for a man (more than usual)
- Cerie is getting married and Liz is a bridesmaid
- Floyd is getting married and Liz is doing a reading
- Grizz is getting married and Liz is the "woman of honor"
- All those weddings are on the same day!
- Jack is being forced to choose between Avery and Nancy
- Tracy is having a daughter and trying to become a better husband
- TGS has added a new cast member, who gets periodically forgotten
I like it, I like what they've been doing. This season doesn't have the clear arc of some previous seasons, but they've built such strong characters now that I think they can get away with a season of little threads coming together.
- Best Episode So Far: "Anna Howard Shaw Day" (but there were a few contenders)
- Worst Episode So Far: "Verna" (but it wasn't terrible)
- MVP Candidate: Alec Baldwin as Jack (obvious, but I can't think of someone who beats him)
- Rookie of the Year Candidate: Cheyenne Jackson as Danny (I almost went with Elizabeth Banks as Avery, but I'm sure if Danny was featured more often he'd have run away with this)
- Favorite Scene So Far: Tracy's "rule of threes" call to Betty White, Liz drugged up at the dentist in "Anna Howard Shaw Day," or the town hall meeting about Kabletown acquiring NBC.
