You're speaking my language, @avclub-cb0e59b8f769a8698b9f7154dd8809b5:disqus ! I've been jonesing for some more John Winchester since forEVER. If JDM is even remotely willing to come back, even just to let that Missing Father arc play out to some kind of conclusion, it would be awesome. And Mary Winchester is also a…

Sylvia has a good man for a husband and, for all her religious righteousness toward Megan's pregnancy options, she is the very essence of the bored rich housewife screwing the broken man in the maid's room. I don't buy her bullshit "earthiness" either. I am living for the scene where they get walked-in on by one or…

Reply to @avclub-84ca205fe6bc691c41c3bfe5a2820a15:disqus 's comment below: you're right about Megan just being good at everything. For someone so young, she has a sophistication that Betty never had. Megan was great with Don's kids, she was effortlessly creative at the ad agency, she seems pretty adventurous in the…

I had the same thought about that daytime drama bed scene. The ragged breathing and the open-mouth kisses would not have been put on the air. Hollywood's Production Code had only been gone for about 2 years at this point but the chaste, closed-mouth, and brief kiss was still the norm, especially on the domestic medium…

Megan is the unadorned pile of crinkle-cut French-Canadian fries and the bare space above her is where Don doesn't see, but can imagine, someone else's ketchup dripping down upon her.

Let's face it, Don is largely motivated by his fear of abandonment, particularly by women.

I think you're right, @avclub-0c9de7fbac44fdcea080c61e55772199:disqus , about Peggy's future as opposed to Don's. History, culture, gender, timing - doors are opening for Peggy at this moment. Don, though he isn't that much older, is still part of the previous generation and age isn't on his side as the counter…

I still don't understand how Harry knew about the Joan-Jaguar thing. Surely, the other partners - for all the mess of their private lives - would know that this would be the one damn thing to be discreet about. Joan had their backs and they most certainly did not have hers if someone in that room blabbed. (I vote…

Here in my academic bubble, I find myself interested in this book you mention, but Amazon has never heard of it which, in my experience, is pretty rare. Can you re-direct?

Butter is my favorite food!

Now there's a liquid association I had not thought of.

I like that he's not actively playing the John-Boy card. He's been out of the mainstream public eye for so long and one could forgive him for winking at the audience a bit, but I love that he's just simply playing the character, who happens to be kind of a dick (and he's not playing him him that way to show "range"…

That menu selection gave me a Supernatural flashback.

I think it was also related to the fact that they JUST had another hostage in the warehouse and he ended up dead, which she raged about to Philip as being their biggest ever failure as agents. Two back-to-back murders on shaky grounds - off the reservation (or, um, the gulag) - was too much for her…

Yes! It was perfectly synched. My other fave 80s soundtrack timing is from the original Christopher Reeve Superman when Lois Lane drives up to the soon-to-explode wilderness gas station and Supertramp is playing on her car radio with the line, "I'll give a little bit of my life for you." Then, boom, she dies in the…

I think George thinks that Tessa went to her grandmother's place, because that was Tessa's stated plan. He just doesn't know that it fell through and his daughter is living in the girl's bathroom eating raw Kraft Mac 'n' Cheese.

And not in the good way.

Spring Break!

Yeah, I should've thought that through. Thanks, @avclub-74c585d99078f09ef754419ed0a6150c:disqus !

Better to be Henry Francis - times infinity. People thought he was sleazy for hitting on pregnant Betty but he's stuck with her, took on three kids not his own, gave them a comfortable home (albeit kinda Munster-y), and seems to be the calm in the storm in that family.
