"Your plan will fail. Mine is the superior bladder!"

Sooo, is there a toilet in here? Because I drank a whole Big Gulp before you captured me.

Highly unlikely but taken in a vacuum (no pun intended) it could be 2 hours of awesome.

Mirror Jean-Luc Picard. Finally get a good Picard-Kirk crossover. Make it so.

Having re-watched Wrath of Khan and Space Seed, I found Abrams version of Khan entertaining but nowhere near the Montalban's performance. If you watch his performance you see that despite being able to lift a fully-space-suited man into the air with one hand, Khan rarely uses his physical strength. While imposing, it…

I was really hoping we'd get to know this woman. Especially through future Ted relating stories about her past and what she did in the days, weeks, or years leading up to their meeting. I'd be interested in knowing why the hell she picked Ted.

I think it has a lot to do with Don/Dick's past. Someone growing up adrift and powerless can either develop deep compassion for other human flotsam or become addicted to the thrill of power, like a repressed teenager taking their first sip of alcohol.

So the song in the Ford ad is the exact same one from the episode Farhampton where we see the mother standing at the platform with her umbrella. Eerie.

It feels odd to have really enjoyed that spot and now see her years later as the key character on a show I've followed just as long.

I'm ashamed to admit when I was younger I had a crush on the Skyscraper starer in that Ford commercial. I really had way too much time on my hands.

I figured after 7 years of waiting that Alison Brie was the only choice that would have made it worth the time. (Lizzy Caplan a close second)

Don does not like women. He likes power. He likes control. In his own way, he gets off just as much from what he does to Ted as what he does to Sylvia. Its really the only thing he enjoys and when his ability to control someone or something drifts on him he becomes despondent since he takes no enjoyment in things for…

Uh huh, you'll have to speak up I'm wearing a bathrobe.

Alright Wolfshien, you're on. It's a waste of money on your end if you ask me. I bet you a thousand bucks that the Chicago Cubs win more World Series than the Yankees in 5 years….Uh huh…Babe who? That's a stupid name, make it a million. I tell you that North Side nine is going places old sport!

1: Joan's rage at Don was driven by absolute disappointment. A deal that she degraded herself her is frittered away because Don didn't have the stomach to have dinner with that clown. "Oh, so your client (who we've seen is only one cog in a larger machine) wants to throw dumb ideas at you and your super-creative mind…

GO BIG O!

Everyone has a weak spot. Even zeal and devotion can be a weak point. I see Nina as someone capable of getting in Stan's head just like Bill Haydon got into Smiley's.

The comment about Elizabeth and Stan's vulnerability reminded me of George Smiley's comment about his archnemesis, Karla. "He's a fanatic." 

Would it be too anachronistic to set said montage to Eye of the Tiger?

I understand the center of the show lies with the characters, however it was disappointing that an episode centered on the assassination of Martin Luther King (and the subsequent violence) failed to pass a minority Bechdel test.
