> [@Exapno\_Mapcase](#): > > [Ratings for the show](http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/03/16/tv-ratings-thursday-missing-premieres-below-charlies-angels-community-jumps-on-return-awake-steadies/124734/) were at season highs. And that pushed 30 Rock to a season high as well. Community came in second in its time slot, which I don’t think has happened before in this season. > > Surprisingly, a 2.2 in the prime demographic is a good number for NBC. That’s not close to a top show, but it’s one of the better ratings NBC has had all week. That’s because **BBT** wasn’t on due to basketball. A good episode, but not a great one. Needed more Dean. ---

It wasn’t the funniest episode of the season, but I’m glad Shirley got something to do. It seemed to be a good character development episode. Between Shirley realizing that she’s good at business and Britta realizing (to her horror) that she’s good at some traditionally feminine pursuits, there seemed to be some forward momentum in character progression. Britta had the best lines this episode. “It’s a thought with another thought’s hat on.” ---

Wasn’t someone supposed to die? I didn’t see Chang, so I hope it’s him. ---

I liked the bit with Pierce’s security camera, or as Jeff put it: wireless racism. And in the study room: Annie: “You’re anti-wedding now?” Jeff: “No, she’s just pro-anti.” Britta: “No to everything you both said!” And now we know that the weird voice Shirley uses is her “sexy voice.” ---

I liked the little sequence of pictures in Jeff’s heart. ---

Yes, one of the slot machine pictures was Annie’s Boobs. Somewhere on the NBC site there’s a promo webisode for 30Rock where Donald Glover made an appearance and Jack Donaghee call him by his former twitter handle, “dong lover”. ---

Another part I found really funny was when the Dean was surprised that Shirley and Pierce had learned so much from their Greendale classes. ---

> [@TriPolar](#): > > Wasn’t someone supposed to die? I didn’t see Chang, so I hope it’s him. Don’t you remember from the first season? He is Señor Chang, and he’s so ill; this is a warning, he can’t be killed. He’s Chang! And he cannot die! (That tune is my ringtone.) ---

Let’s hope so, it kept Chuck on the air a lot longer than it would’ve been otherwise. Lame Subway related skits were a small price to pay for that. ---
