To say that Liz Lemon is a loser in love would be akin to saying that the current economy is a little shaky. Let’s face it, that’s half the schtick of the show, but this episode demonstrated her uncanny ability to sabotage a relationship before it even starts. We saw it already this season with […]

(Season 3, Episodes 8-10) Well, I’m almost all the way through season three and things are getting interesting. I’ll save most of my overall thoughts on the season for my final post of season three.
