30 Rock last night was an explosion of greatly detailed intricacies, and probably one of the best episodes ever. I watched it twice to see if there was anything I missed the first time around. Here is a list of my favorites (in no particular order) from last night:
1. “My real name is…Dick Whitman!” — Kenneth, after Jenna tries to poison him with strawberries. This is especially funny since Jon Hamm was just recently a guest star. I love how they just naturally assume that 30 Rock viewers are also Mad Men viewers, which I think is a fair and accurate assumption.
2. Elisa shows up to share a very deep and dark secret wearing a Battlestar Galactica “What the Frak?” t-shirt.
3. Tracy Jordan is Tracy Morgan. Clips from real life Morgan were spliced with fictional Jordan for a full-on shirtless montage.
4. Prankster Fedoras with feathers. ‘nuff said.
5. “Lemon, isn’t there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?” — Elisa
6. The slanket presence in general.
7. Kenneth talks about his 5 minute death experience and ends it with, “but i do think I brought something back with me…” shivers, and breathes out the grey smoke of death.
8. Salma Hayek. ‘nuff said.
9. “Do you know how to get to Connecticut?” — Brian Williams. Actually, just Brian Williams in general.
10. Tangiers, the gay lion.
edit: The green screen with blue text for the Spanish Black Widow website was pretty brilliant as well.
