What the muffin is up with this episode of 30 Rock? Not feeling it AT ALL.

I was into it, except for Salma Hayek. I didn't hate her, and the plotline was fine, but I thought it would have been funnier with a more interesting character.

maybe I just wasn't in the right mood tonight? Ah well, I'll give it another shot when it goes online tomorrow. But yeah, I pretty much thought Hayek...sucked. I liked her last ep, but this one? No.

I'm not really getting the chemistry between her and Baldwin, and not in a "Jack and Liz are my OTP and I can't see them with anyone else" kinda way. Also, her comic timing, it is, how do you say, not good.

Oh, I know. I think when Hamm is on, I will be shipping him and Liz pretty hardcore. And I feel like, with Hayek, they really sacrificed comedic excellence for a "star". Boo.

Although, do you notice Jack's choices keep getting lower and lower on the "class" scale? By the end of the series, he'll have dated women far below his status, Liz will become a step up. Um.

Ok, yes, I do pretty much come back to shipping them in the end.

Yeah, I don't want to be a cynical internerd, but I can't imagine them casting a nobody as this character.

I just want to be entertained along the way to an eventual Jack/Liz hookup. Or, if Tina decides they really aren't getting together, I want them to at least end up with people I like.

Well, no, I agree with that, I guess. But I feel like they let Hayek have the roll because it was Hayek, even though the character and the actress obviously weren't meant for each other.

Yeah, either that or they wrote it with her in mind. Not sure.
