Apollo, Apollo was another very funny episode of "30 Rock"
tavm28 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
In this episode, Liz is visited by former "sex partner" Dennis who's trying to make amends for his behavior. She then finds out on Jenna's phone that Dennis had sex with her as well. Having accomplished almost everything on his list since his 10th birthday, Jack wants the excitement of that childhood back in a bad way. And Tracy wants to fulfill his own dream of going into space...How welcome to see Dean Winters back as Dennis (not to mention as Charlie on the next to last episode of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" this season)! This particular episode of "30 Rock" was very funny from beginning to end especially the way Kenneth sees everybody he encounters as Muppets! And hearing Liz impersonate Jenna as British on Jenna's phone to Dennis and then Jenna explaining that she lost her virginity to the My Fair Lady soundtrack was a clever touch. And then there's this commercial Liz did for a phone sex line in Chicago. And how about that Adam West cameo...

The right stuff

A hilarious episode which has it all. Adam West appears as himself, Kenneth has visions of Liz as a puppet, and Tracy thinks he's in space to fulfill his lifelong ambition.

It's easy to forget that 30 Rock and Aaron Sorkin's Studio 60 on the Sunset debut both debuted on NBC at the same time. The conventional wisdom was that Sorkin's powerhouse TV series would be the one to survive after one season. Not to be, and the rest is history.

Apollo, Apollo (#3.16)

Warning: Spoilers
Liz finds out that Dennis slept with Jenna. But she doesn't want to give him the satisfaction of thinking that he mattered so much to her and that he could ruin their friendship. But it isn't that easy. And Jack wants to be as happy again as he was as a child when he vomited when unpacking a present. Tracy on the other hand wants to fulfil his childhood dream and go to space.

My favorite part of this episode was when they showed the world through different character's eyes. I just wish they did it with all characters, absolutely hilarious idea!.

And it was great to see Jack vomit out of happiness from seeing Liz's embarrassing video.

Loved This Episode!

This is the sixteenth episode of the third season of 30 Rock and once again, we are in for a treat. As we near the end of the season, I can admit the third season is the best so far and this is one of those episodes that explains my reasoning. It's funny, witty, and has a great screenplay. Dean Winters as Liz's ex makes a return appearance and Adam West, the 1960's Batman, has a clever cameo.

In this episode, "Apollo, Apollo," Liz gets upset when she finds out that her ex slept with Jenna. Jack is about to celebrate his fiftieth birthday and he reminisces about his childhood. Finally, Tracy announces that he wants to travel in space.

Overall, this is a very good, hilarious episode. It is full of clever cultural references ranging from Curious Case of Benjamin Button to Armageddon. It is worth watching, especially when Tracy's subplot. I rate this episode 9/10.
