That's a great point @avclub-ee712b54ff92d404ff6cd6c8f6e41324:disqus  that is skimmed over in the review.  Unlike Don, I love the way that Joan seems to be evolving and growing as a person.  In previous seasons when she has felt her power threatened by someone (always the men she works with) she takes it out on…

I have to agree that I found my disgust with Don reaching new heights tonight.  I believe that him falling back on old ways is realistic for the character so I have had more time for the cheating storyline that others have.  However him taking out his rage on Megan and then sneaking off and cheating on her really…

PHRASING!   (Did I do it right?)

@avclub-4abf5e04b1dc5a9138289c1f400a1613:disqus - The impression I got was that Joan did feel forced into it, and that she wouldn't have slept with Jaguar guy if she knew that it wasn't expected of her.  Roger was against it, but he didn't speak to her, she only spoke to Pete and Lane.  Given how close she was to Lane…

I sneered "Grimy little pimp!" at that exact moment too

Margaery must anticipate that Rob's amry will fall, otherwise she wouldn't be so keen to ally herself with Joffery.  But as Varys says, whoever marries Sansa will have the key to the north when that happens.  For the Tyrells its a three-fer; stop a dangerous man (Littlefinger) from creating a threat to the dynasty…

@avclub-7629f83b5dd18415f0c2135b5f1424a4:disqus  - Can't wait for Dany's hotly anticipated rap album "Claim your rightful throne and bring justice to your people under the heel of the vile Usurper, or die trying"

I disagree somewhat with Todd's assertion that the character of Sylvia is not fully enough developed.  I think we have gotten some quite enlightening insights into her personality in the short time we have known her.  I think the reason that I don't mind the gaps in our knowledge of her as much as I otherwise might is…

I really don't think Don would want an open-marriage at all.  Yes, he seems incapable of being faithful, but the impression I get from many of his dalliances is that he is looking for a relationship that will help him become someone else, that gives him, however briefly, that 'jumping off' feeling of leaving all his…

I loved that line!  The perfect riposte for a golden boy.

As well as the points made about the direction of the scene and the actress making the choice to act less into the kiss than Weiner might've wanted, there was still a massive issue of the Au Pair's boss coming 'round the next day and yelling at Pete because she had been crying all day.  That doesn't strike me as…

Are we sure that he is a baby Pete Campbell and not a baby Don Draper?  Don was really obsequious and embarrassingly try-hard with Roger when they first met.  Maybe it's just my love of James Wolk talking but, if he can learn to tone down the far-too-eager-puppy thing and if he turns out to be any good at his job, he…

Liked for the trivia, not for that upsetting fact…

After Ray telling Marie that she had "a Katy Perry nice voice" I am certain that this was a reference to the live cover that Katy Perry did of Kanye and Jay Z's "Ninjas in Paris"*.

"Hey, I just realized that Daryl and Carol's Bradgellina name *is* Darol! Or Caryl!  Whoa, did we smoke weed?…"
