Love Tom and love the Best Show. Sad to see it go, but Tom has given us a lot for free, so I understand. Wish him all the best.

I like this show, and I liked this episode.

I can agree with that. Pete's comparatively lighter stuff with his mother and Don's effort to "save" Mitchell from Vietnam are, in and of themselves, not particularly memorable, but I think they both work toward amplifying the effect of that big moment where Sally finds Don with Sylvia.

I wouldn't be surprised if this goes down as one of the series' finest hours. In a season that has slowly been taking things away from Don, the loss of his daughter's respect is the most powerful and heartbreaking.

I think it's worth mentioning how genuinely frightening the scenes between Sally and "Grandma Ida" were. As fascinating as Don's drug trip was, that story line was where the episode really picked up for me.

Haha. I had to read it for a book report in 8th grade, and it was the first "school book" that I liked. Made me realize that reading could be fun and not just homework.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, for me.

Bobby's line about going to the movies when you're sad hit me so hard. It seems like for every hour of the new season, there has been at least one moment like that that just hits me at the gut level. Ugh. So good.

How good is Diana Rigg? Seriously.

Liked this episode very much. It felt much more focused than last week, and I enjoyed the lighter notes of the Joan story line.

The Who's "Who's Next"

Overall, I'd say slightly more scattered than the premiere, but still a really good episode. That scene with Ken and Raymond in Don's office felt a little off to me, for one. But that moment where Trudy calls Pete out and later the inter-cutting of Don's speech and his sex with Sylvia were something to behold. Plus,…

For me, the sight of Don showing his vacation slides on the Carousel  was alone worth the near-year wait. Bravo.

Fun article. I love Elton, and I love this album. There are others that I listen to more often (Captain Fantastic, Tumbleweed, Songs from the West Coast), but I do think this is his best and the most representative of his sound. If I had to give someone just one album to show them what Elton is all about, I'd have a…

This could be really fun if it's even half as schlock-y as the old ones.

I'm finally getting around to reading Chabon's Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. About half way through, and it's been a fun read so far.

Agreed on all counts. They need to do something new and original. Plinkett also points out that Nemesis borrows a lot from Khan (and Star Trek: The Star Trek borrows from Nemesis). The series hasn't been able to get out of Khan's shadow for a long time, and the new movie just looks like it's going further in that…

Agreed on Quantum. It feels the least like a Bond movie than any other entry in the series.
