I’m not sure which boyfriend wanted the baby — was it Dennis the Beeper King / Subway Hero? She kicked him to the curb last year, because he’s an idiot, but I wish he’d come back. There’s nobody I love more than the Beeper King.

Good call on the Cyrano storyline. And I love that they referenced Kenneth’s lack of chin. He’s got Cynthia Nixon syndrome.

This was a great episode. Although, I find it hard to believe that Mr. Cartoon Pilot would be so rational after missing his mother’s (grandmother’s) final moments.

I’m guessing that Liz will eventually have to dump him, as he’s too similar to her. And what happened to her lughead boyfriend who wanted a baby? I think I missed the conclusion of that relationship.

My absolute favorite moment was the phone call to the cadence of
The Lord’s Prayer – that was pure writing genius, blasphemous a bit, but genius!

Thanks for the great write-up, Kari.

Good call, Mandy! Maria Thayer did play the wife in FSM; guess I need to watch that again.

I think the girl who played Jennifer also played Jack McBrayer’s wife in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I might be wrong though.

I’m not a huge fan of 30 Rock, but this episode made me laugh. I loved the shout out at the church to all the pregnant women and Jack’s comment. I can’t remember it now, but it made me laugh.

Also Liz on the toilet on me in stitches. I hope Don Draper aka Jon Hamm sticks around for a bit longer.

I figured that Jennifer figured Kenneth was too “ugly” for her. Not that he is, you know, but it seems that when she got to his chin (or lack there-of) she got all weird, compared it to herself, and made her exit. Poor Kenneth. Tracy’s “Kenneth impressions” had me in fits of giggles.

I also YAY’d at the Mandy Patinkin reference, although for me it was a call back to great shows like Dead Like Me, and his time with Criminal Minds.

@ Becky & MannieAnnie — I see where you’re coming from. I thought otherwise, just because she tells Tracy she’s pretty sure she’s hot, after she feels her own face.

@CFO (love your Michael Scott-ness, btw) — she ended by saying “Funny story…hear me out.” Whether or not she spilled the whole story wasn’t really clear, though. TBD, apparently.

I missed part. Did Liz tell the doctor about his sister/mom? Or did she set herself up for later embarrassment by keeping it quiet?

That’s what my first thought was Becky!

No idea; my feeling was she just didn’t like his face, but I guess it’s possible.

I thought she couldn’t date him becasue she felt his face and then her face and I thought they were related somehow. Was that just me or am I totally insane?
