I love me some Christina Hendricks but she is getting a little long in the tooth to play that part. Turns 39 this year.

I have never seen the remake but I have heard that it was a complete disaster—couldn't decide between dark comedy and farce, could not decide between a happy ending and a dark ending, couldn't decide if they wanted to make the Wives robots or not. So apparently they threw all of that in there, resulting in a huge

The AV Club could stand to be a little less dainty about its spoilers. It doesn't seem like knowing in advance that two characters go 69 ruins the whole Season 2 plot.

I didn't mind the rape backstory, but the scene with the pervy dude coming on to Paige at the mall was pretty silly. And that KGB dude was in the trunk of the car for a REALLY long time.

Annet Mahendru fan. Scorching hot.

Phillip could just come clean to Martha and take her home to live with him and Elizabeth. He'd have a pretty attractive harem, and we'd have the Communist version of "Big Love".

She is in it—when Katharine Ross comes to town Louise hasn't been made over yet. When Tina Louise gets made into a Stepford Wife, Ross and her buddy Paula Prentiss figure out that something terrible is going on.

The problem with assessing Lennon as a solo artist is, of course, that there isn't a lot of material. We have five years worth of material, then one more album's worth (his halves of "Double Fantasy" and "Milk and Honey"), with the last of it being unfinished. And that's it. So when one is examining Paul

"Imagine" the album. 80th on Rolling Stone's 500 best albums of all time list as recently as 2012. Now, you could say that Rolling Stone has been campaigning for John Lennon for 40 years, and I guess you'd be right, but it was and is generally hailed as a remarkable album. So I find it curious that so many people

That Tina Louise sure was good-looking. Watched "The Stepford Wives" on cable just the other day. Really good-looking.

The easy dismissal of "Imagine" when assessing Lennon's career really is boggling.

I think the old-school canonization of Lennon and dismissal of McCartney was patently unfair. It needed to be corrected. And the fact that McCartney was all-around the best Beatle—a better songwriter than George, a better musician that John—needed to be recognized.

I dunno, that seems to fit with Carson being a terrible snob.

From what I understand Tom is basically the manager of the estate, which God knows the earl needs because he's so bad at it.

Edna drugged Tom? I must have missed this. I remember when she brought him a drink.

"I blame you."

This is true. The Japanese were brutal savages to their prisoners and to the countries they conquered.

Man, I thought your defense of British imperialism was bad, but then you start defending the antebellum slaveholding South. Wow.

I forgot to ask—just what about the Bogart-Hepburn pairing is supposed to be creepy?

I wonder how much Don Draper will be sad.
