To making it count!

As a Tennesseean, I'll say it sorta took me out of things when they showed a Channel 5 van for Chattanooga news. The Big 3 networks there are 3, 9, and 12. 

Better question: why didn't some sort of fire consume the Michael-Jackson-concert-costume she was wearing at Tony's operation?

I'm still trying to figure out why he didn't surgically remove the shrapnel two movies ago, but I'll play along.

LOL the perfect way to think of it. I was kinda going along with the molten-skin-dudes, even though I rolled my eyes more than I wanted to (and how lucky that Pepper is just magically cured of her fiery chest cold), but I agree that the fire-breathing was a moment where I shrugged and said, "That's too much."

I thought something similar, as the rescuer-then-captor said, "Winter is coming" when he "saved" Theon…

I liked that it was a long-con, though. In the first episode, I thought, "Surely one of these guys speaks Valeryian," but then nothing. I know that eventually, surely, one of them would be revealed to speak the language and know what the slaver had been saying, but I loved that they held it out for a few episodes to…

I detest Theon, but if I understood his confession to his rescuer-then-captor, I got a little sad when he admitted that Ned Stark was his true father. But yes, he sucks.

I adored this episode and forced my fiance to replay the last five minutes at least three times. I also hope Margery is actually going to be Sansa's friend, even though I had the sinking feeling that poor Sansa was being played during their whole scene together.

I loved watching Don interact with Betty in those earlier seasons. He seemed to have her on such a pedestal to the point that he barely knew her, and thus he was just confused by her (hence the phone calls to her therapist). He was so disappointed when she realized who he really was, but it seems like his subsequent…

YES. Distractingly so.

Hmmm…interesting game! I'm including three platonic relationships and basing this on how much I enjoy Don's overall relationship with the character in question.

Aren't we supposed to think Sylvia is older? She has a son in college. Granted, she certainly looks young, but maybe that isn't as great of a concern as it would be with his younger ladies-on-the-side.

I remember loving them after the JFK assassination when they decided to skip Margaret Sterling's wedding and stayed home to watch the news in casual outfits. That was the first time they really seemed to see each other, and I loved it. Also? When Don and Roger came to their apartment to scoop up Pete for the new firm.…

Oh, I hope not. Peggy and Abe's easy chemistry in the premiere was a highlight, in my opinion, and I am happy to see him stick around. I also think Ted v. Don is going to come up again this season, putting Peggy in the middle between her new boss and her old mentor.

I liked that they want me to buy that that kid grew up to look like Jon Hamm.

I kept thinking about how many cards she has up her sleeve to put Pete in his place, especially since her dad has more than enough means to make a divorce very unpleasant. An AV Club article recently noted that Pete has become Don, Don has become Roger, and Roger has become Burt, and I saw a lot of parallels between…

The guy's name was Mac, too, right? I remember Adam talking about "Uncle Mac" in season 1, so he must have stuck around with Abigail post-whorehouse.

I like Linda Cardellini, but Sylvia is my second least favorite of all of Don's girlfriends (first prize goes to Bobbie Barrett). Her dialogue was very clunky when they were having sex, and I agree with the reviewer that she is not nearly as developed as others. I realize it's still early in the game, but I find her…

The article made me embarrassed to have once-upon-a-time liked this show, too.
