In a way, Liz Lemon is a 1970s feminist that is trying to be Leslie Knope - a 21st century feminist - and failing miserably. And frankly, that’s part of 30 Rock’s comedy - it makes commentary on society’s treatment of race, gender, class, and sexuality through its absurdist storylines. More often than not, 30 Rock aims to point out that it’s all problematic, and pokes holes in almost every point of view, especially when dealing with the stereotypes that often creep up - because they do. It’s the reality of the world we live in. It’s our context.
I was going to quote all the great quote-worthy parts of this article, but there are too many. Just set aside ten minutes and read it.

can’t stop watching this cheesy blasters clip
I haven’t seen an episode since the last season ended and I’m suddenly feeling the yawning void 30 Rock used to fill. It’s like I had a phantom limb named Liz Lemon but it got phantom cut off so now it’s for reals gone. I must get it sewn back on asap. Can you reattach spirit animals?
Could not be more perfect.
The thing is, I know a girl that looks exactly like Tina Fey’s Jersified self.

Ugh… I don’t want little rubber dinosaurs in my house. I have Barbies; I’m used to the Barbies! Tea parties. All the—I like that stuff. Y’know?
I don’t want the Transformers… the robots… UGH! SO BORING! So boring…
So I—yeah I had… you know… my preferences.
I probably jinxed it. Probably be like a lesbian paleontologist.

Next Halloween I want to be Tina Fey as Liz Lemon as Princess Leia.
Incepticostume. Costumeception.
Whatever, I’m still working out the word for it.
I’m hungry again.
