Summary: WITH “TGS” ON HIATUS, LIZ (TINA FEY) AND THE REST OF THE “TGS” CREW TRY TO FIND OTHER JOBS. AARON SORKIN AND WILL ARNETT GUEST STAR.

Liz tries to reassure her staff that the show’s forced hiatus is temporary, but everyone starts to focus on their fallback plans. Meanwhile, Jack (Alec Baldwin) attempts to salvage a cable network by enlisting his nemesis, Devin Banks (guest star Will Arnett).

Ooh, it's the Aaron Sorkin one.

Thanks for starting the thread Pia! It slipped my mind!

Will Arnett back! LOVE IT. Just watched the entire series of Arrested Development. We need to get more of them on our show.

I was posting a Lucille gif on another comm, and that makes me want Jessica Walter on the show.

I forgot about the ep too. I watched Queen of Jordan today, so that made me wonder if there was a new ep.

Jessica Walter on the show would be A-MAZING.

Jeffery Tambor would also be hilarious. Or David Cross.... just so much potential.

Hey all!

I run a site where I try to find every scrap of trivia for all of the 30 Rock episodes. Cuz I love it. Well, it's incredibly time consuming but I LOVE the show.

Anyway, looks like you have a great community here so I wanted to drop by and see if you guys would be interested.

I JUST finished writing up "Plan B". Check it out: 30 Rock S05E18: "Plan B" Episode Trivia | What the WHAT?!

If you guys are interested I'll come back every week and post when I finish writing up the newest episode.

Cheers!

That would be great! I haven't seen the ep yet but I'll be sure to check the recap when I'm done.

Well, I watched it. It felt really weird to me. Even by 30 Rock standards.

-I should've guessed Tracy wasn't really in Africa.

-How Jack keeps forgetting he has a baby.

-Everyone has a "Plan B" except for Liz. I wish we could've seen more of the others there, with their Plan Bs.

-"Transformers 5: Written by No One"

-Aaron Sorkin was funny. I liked how they talked and walked. And a Studio 60 joke!

Overall this episode felt a little OTT to me. It didn't feel very cohesive.

I agree.

You didn't know he wasn't in Africa?!

I alas am very sleepy right now, and will post my complete thoughts sometime tomorrow. Love the guy who plays Liz's agent.

I do believe Liz's Plan B was teaching improv on a cruise ship.

wanderer78 · 03-30-2011, 11:11 PM

You know, I didn't really think about it. I guess I did think Tracy was in Africa.

sheridon · 03-31-2011, 12:02 AM

I could have sworn there was a scene where it showed him on a stage that was pretending to be Africa.

wanderer78 · 03-31-2011, 12:04 PM

Could be. I missed it if that's the case. /dense

sheridon · 03-31-2011, 09:42 PM

I could e making that up though... so don't orry
