I do not give a shit about the history of the "cougar 'phenomenon'", and I don't appreciate being made an innocent bystander to your reliving your teenage sexual fantasies. A joke here and there would be one thing, and I like getting upvotes as much as the next person. However, the constant comments have become both…

I totally get all of that, and I don't dislike Gaad (though it would appear I'm in the minority on this). It's just that when you put all of the shit that has gone down on his watch all together like that… well, it doesn't make him look especially effectual. And his job really does call for someone exceptional who…

It was the creepiest season for everybody but Stan. I adore Nina, and am delighted that the show continued to follow her after her fall from the Rezidentura. However, I find that Stan as a character is a lot easier to like when Nina's not around for him to be gross to.

Wow, Gaad really does suck at his job, doesn't he?

Emmerich's reaction to the "you can keep this" was just masterful — subtle, per usual, but clearly a punch to the gut.

Jesus, what is with you and the idea of wildly inappropriate sex/molestation between teenagers and people who are old enough to be their parents? All over the Mad Men recap, and now all over here? Please consider not making those comments ad nauseam; they are the opposite of amusing or titillating.

Joan has underreacted before to men being ballistic, livid, and/or creepy. I wouldn't be so quick to interpret her underreaction here as a signal that Greenwood's performance wasn't exactly what we were intended to see by the writer, director, and performers.

Yeah, I don't have an issue with the small child being a dealbreaker; where he lost me was the shouting at her on the second date (to say nothing of stalking her across the country after just one hook-up, but maybe in 1970 that particular gesture would have read as genuinely romantic instead of creepy?).

Like an Agatha Christie novel.

Xanthippe's reaction was pretty much the only one you could have if you were at the receiving end of that burn.

Really? Even worse than the guy who had to literally rip himself out of that silo "art installation"?

It was by far the most tolerable interview of hers I've read in years, maybe ever. The magical-fairy-but-I-mean-dark-fairy-and-also-it's-spelled-faerie pretentiousness was entirely absent.

Mine, in a not solid order. I'm missing anything from Together, I realize. I like that album, but I guess I consider it their least essential.

The way Caputo taunted Fig after the blowjob made it clear that even though he didn't engineer it, he derived much of his pleasure from the opportunity to punish and humiliate her. Regardless of his intentions in the rest of the scene, that's how it ended for him, and that makes him a disgusting human being. Not a…

Sexually humiliating someone is in fact more deplorable than firing her for not returning your crush. The firing and the jerking off set the stage; the blowjob confirmed the depths to which Caputo's willing to sink.

That's a shame. I loved Vee and Toussaint, but I can imagine how frustrating the viewing experience would have been if I hadn't.

They are playing the Vee/Suzanne stuff so well. On one hand, Suzanne was pretty much a marionette during that scene, and it was really upsetting. On the other hand, seeing her feel some confidence and pride made me happy for her. On the other other hand, said confidence and pride came from beating the shit out of…

Please tell me you punched him right in his FAS-y face.

Yeah, still nightmare fuel for me.

James, his guitar, and his bike are an escrow breaker.
