My girlfriend was convinced that the last scene would feature the girl dying from that werewolf attack, and then the stoner revealing that he, in fact, was a virgin, thereby saving the world. Thinking about it now, there are some flaws in that theory, but it's fun that the movie really kept us guessing up till the

I'd say that's part of it, but I don't think the problem with the show is that it's gotten bogged down in too many Stanley and Phyllis storylines.

They really should have been rotating in new characters all along. Treat it like a real workplace: people move on, they get replaced, it's no big deal. That was the best thing about the Stamford merger season.

I don't think it's quite accurate to say that making me laugh is 30 Rock's "sole goal." The show still makes an attempt to tell a coherent story featuring characters that bear some resemblance to their earlier-season counterparts, and I'd put it's track record somewhere around 50% on that count lately.

"Pretty bad, but I laughed a lot"—that's late-era 30 Rock in a nutshell for you.

Exactly. Plus, that file photo of him staring down the barrel of his own gun was priceless.

I like "Tough Room," where they go to the writer's room at The Onion, and also any episode with Mike Birbiglia is usually pretty great.

As soon as I read the words "Doctor Bong," I was like, "Yo where's the Taco Bell bell yo"

For what it's worth, I had to look up Mr. President on Wikipedia, and it blew my mind. I used to watch that shit, but had forgotten all about it.

ADVENTURES OF BEANS BAXTER, please.

How did your mom like it?

When I saw that name appear on screen, I wondered if the show was doing St. Patrick's Day-themed joke credits like the Simpsons does for the Treehouse of Horror episodes.

That's where I got the connection to Erin—both characters are basically sweet, well-meaning dumbbells. I remember her more from "Coach," though. She looks a lot different now but that voice is unmistakable.

How dumb must that woman be to entrust Erin, of all people, with her care? I'd love a plot line where Erin's gross neglect and/or pill mix-up sends her to the hospital.

She actually doesn't look all that fat to me (maybe because they rarely show her standing up). As far as I can tell her boobs just got really big and I am all for that.

Yeah, I feel like I've heard "69" jokes on sitcoms before, but only as an oblique reference to the number itself being funny or significant for some unspecified reason. This is definitely the first reference to the actual sexual position I've ever heard on network primetime.

The only reason these "office romance" plots work at all is that you need to believe that the characters inhabit such a sad, tiny world—their co-workers are the only people they interact with, and therefore, are pretty much the only romantic prospects they have.

Hey did anyone else think Liz looked pretty cute in that skirt tonight

Gaylord Felcher: Best 30 Rock supporting character name?

Isn't that what Paul F. Tompkins does?
