What was the second thing he said?

For as great an episode as this was, I kind of felt like the Don plot devalued last week's closing moment.

By Family Guy standards, this was probably an A- episode. Virtually every joke landed (which is ridiculously rare), and while the Meg-Peter bonding storyline has been done before, it was still fun.

I know the first two hours were released to most press. Perhaps Todd saw more, but there's nothing in his review that isn't from those episodes.

Definite similarities between the two, but Renee struck me as tougher and more credible.

She still LOOKS really good in that season…

Well, remember, Tate Donovan's character is now married to Audrey, so there's going to be an adversarial dynamic between him and Jack regardless of what else he's hiding.

Thoughts from the first two episodes.

I couldn't help but be disappointed by the introduction of Jennifer. Granted, we didn't see much, but what we did see was a clone that didn't have much in the way of defined, unique qualities. It didn't give Maslany much opportunity to sink her teeth into a character, and that's half the reason to watch the show.

But he didn't really find out, did he?

The show had lost its way before Cory passed.

Actually, wasn't she rather abundantly clear in season 4 that she wants to be a dancer?

I mean, for as much as you might have a point about Blaine overall, that song was obviously far more in Darren Criss' wheelhouse. He legitimately did sing it better.

Outside of the superb effort from Lamorne Morris (who, this season, has become the clear MVP), this episode did nothing for me.

He was being a dick, but not in an anti-cystic fibrosis way. More in a, "Quit your whining" way.

Not entirely true. If Don were content to keep getting paid (at least on the residuals from the partnership - not sure about his salary) while doing nothing, he could have rejected the addendum to the contract. You can't strip a guy of his equity for violating a clause that was never in his agreement.

They also found a way to make two of the show's lead female characters, both of whom are as close to "good guys" as you can get on this show, come off as unlikable bitches in this episode.

She was actually enjoying herself up until the incident with the sandwich.

At the same time, from Don's perspective, Peggy's attitude is far more palatable.

Tricky one.
