But Geiss had yet to make any official announcement and get his motley crew of a board to rubber-stamp Jack's promotion. (Seriously, didn't Geiss' board members look like attendees at a 35-year Village People reunion? Or the crowd at my Jersey-shore block party?) So in comes Jack's foil and Geiss' future, sexually disoriented son-in-law Devon Banks. As we've learned in the past, Banks will let nothing come between him and Geiss' job, save perhaps a fling with Kenneth. (Seems Liz's attempted sexual-harassment extortion didn't quite do the trick.) Thankfully for Banks, his sexual kryptonite was nowhere in sight Kenneth was far too busy caring for a sleep-deprived Tracy and the fake-tanned sycophant was able to seize the position from Jack and award it to his fiancée, Kathy Geiss, after daddy Don fell into a diabetic coma at Banks' ''sham bachelor party.''
Though we have yet to discover how exactly this move will affect Jack, TGS, and Button Classic, it's obvious this hurt Jack like a Liz Lemon slap on the face, especially after he unexpectedly expressed sympathy and affection toward Banks at the party. (Perhaps those feelings had been kept stored in his cookie jars all this time?) I am, however, just as excited at the prospect of more Will Arnett cameos as I am about the fact that Dr. Spaceman now wears a cape, so I more than welcome Banks' power play. Just as long as Jack's newfound boss doesn't make him go the way of that poor stress-ball division head, I'll be more than giddy as the Jack-Banks drama unfolds.
And before I close my computer and turn to my bed to dream of gorillas and candy from one of those guys who give out treats in gay clubs, I leave you with some classic sound bites from the episode that I simply could not work into my TV Watch:
· Jack, after Geiss tells him of his future promotion: ''When will this be made public, sir? I want my mother to know before she dies so she goes to her grave a defeated woman.''
· Liz, to Frank: ''You look like Gene Simmons had sex with a basset hound.''
· Frank, explaining why he accidentally downloaded a virus: ''First of all, the subject of the e-mail was 'Check this out.' You expect me not to open that?''
· Kenneth: ''Everyone knows the only thing we should be ashamed of is our bodies.''
· Tracy: ''I've got to do something important so that my children will respect me. Like be a senator, or a wizard.''
· Jack, after a moment of affection with Liz: ''Hugging. So ethnic.''
· Jack: ''Geiss has stacked the board of directors with the most reliable collection of sycophantic yes men this side of an Al Franken book signing.''
· Jack, to Banks: ''Once they cast Clay Aiken in Spamalot, I knew it was only a matter of time before you showed up here.''
· And my personal favorite: Dr. Spaceman, calling for help: ''Is it 411 or 911? New York? Diabetes repair, I guess.''
What did you think, TV Watchers? Are you happy to know that we'll be seeing more of Devon Banks, and thus more of the genius Will Arnett? Do you prefer corporate Lemon or TGS Lemon? And do you think all of NBC's Baby Mama pimping might be reaching Bee Movie proportions?
