@olivececile:disqus, don't be confused by the negative response. There's something beautiful about Phil's consistency.

True, @avclub-ee2e9e1447fcb49c96e19af584ca11b4:disqus , Crowley has hit on a simple solution to his problem, by going after the only thing that has made the Winchesters feel as if everything they've lost is worth it: the innocent lives they've saved. Although, the plotlines are going a bit gobbledygook here at the end…

Must. Have. Pie.

Agreed on Cas once again being manipulated and turned dark-side by someone whispering in his ear and playing on his guilt and his need for redemption. I miss pro-active autonomous Cas. Isn't that what he was in trouble for? Forging his own path? Enough of this passive Beta Cas already.

How cute is Winston dressed in his best Axel Foley red leather suit eating an entire birthday cake? Although I'm a bit worried about his tendency to fart while running. In that suit, this could be a problem.

I was just about to say the same thing about Jeremy. I'm starting to like that guy - and pairing him for hijinx with Danny is pretty consistently funny. I enjoyed his porch moment with the inescapable wind chimes: "Why, America?"

Nearly as funny as Damon Wayans Jr's, just missing the uncoiled man-panic in his body language.

Schmidt's just not there yet, and we shouldn't expect him to be. That's why the eventual arrival is gonna be so sweet - and Elizabeth has GOT to be the one that gets him there.

Yes, buuut, the bed scene with the stewardess was all French kissing and middle-aged man morning breath. He should have at least gargled with bourbon first.

And the one time Hamm won a big prize (the Golden Globe after season 1), there's a fucking strike, the show doesn't get aired, and I guess they just had him, what, come down to the office and pick up the statue.

True story, bros: in the late 1890s, in D.C. - C Street, my great-great-grandfather was spotted in a "house of prostitution" by my great-great-grandmother's brother, who later testified in court that my illustrious ancestor "had sexual intercourse with an unnamed inmate of the brothel." Said prostitute was later asked…

Yes! I got a weird little frisson when they mentioned Paris but wasn't sure what year all that shit hit the fan. The French do love their strikes and revolutions (which makes their farmers awesome!).

I wasn't sure why Burt, Pete, and Joan were making decisions about the SCDP stock and keeping Don in the dark (much as he does to them all the time). Were they thinking he wouldn't agree with their strategy? Were they saving it up to present it to him 'a fait accompli' so he'd be impressed at how they'd gotten the…

Were Abe's underwear not just the most unfortunate thing you've ever seen?? I'd be fantasizing about a fully clothed man too.

The delay of gratification in Don's pitch was especially effective, holding back the money shot, as it were, for a full week.

I think they're less than a month away from the 2nd Kennedy assassination. I would bet that this one will take place between episodes since the show's already depicted the deaths of JFK and MLK so prominently in previous storylines.

Kartheiser cut his teeth doing pretty damn good choreographed fight sequences on Angel. This was a snap. He's much braver on Mad Men letting them do that shit to his hair.

And, to steal from fat Schmidt, she was stuck sleeping with a guy for whom finding his penis was like looking for the remote in the couch cushions.

I think the difference between Roger and Pete is that Roger has, on occasion, liked and respected a woman.

She's not buying a blouse like that off the rack (no pun intended), that has to be tailored because no article of women's clothing that can circumnavigate her bosom would also nip in at her tiny waist. This is where all of Joan's money is going. And, on the subject, I have to point out that something freaky is going…
