 After a mere glance at her in the pilot, Jack sums up Liz as a "New York third-wave feminist, college-educated, single-and-pretending-to-be-happy-about-it, over-scheduled, undersexed, you buy any magazine that says 'healthy body image' on the cover and every two years you take up knitting for...a week".This is confirmed by Pete to be accurate, commenting that the "knitting" part, in particular, was uncanny.Liz is generally portrayed as something of a "geek".
