And it’s in that dramatic arena that Fey really surprises: Baker’s goofier moments have a tinge of Liz Lemon to them (and, though familiar, those glimpses are always welcome), but when Baker is struggling with the morality of this war and her position in it, when she’s rudderless and seeking direction, when she must resort to extreme measures to get her story or save her friends, we see a wealth of strength in Fey, the sort of insight and wisdom that has, until now, been saved for her writing rather than her perfectly silly performances. That’s not to say that dramatic acting is harder than comedy – in fact, I’d argue that the opposite is true – but Fey’s already conquered the world of comedy. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is an ideal bridge between the two genres, proving without question that she can do both – often in the same moment.
