Eh, I'm Lenin towards likes for everyone myself.

"The Box". Great line.

I agree that the marriage back and forth is getting repetitive, but I also really like how it ended up at episode's end, with Philip offering Elizabeth another, realistic choice that she could make if she just wanted them to work together. It was kind of a veiled ultimatum; it definitely thrusts their relationship…

Oh, man. I don't get anyone who doesn't see how awesome Elizabeth is, faults and all. She is bad-ass.

LBJ didn't seek a second term because of the disaster that was Vietnam. It's pretty well known that LBJ became pretty severely depressed after he left office. The deaths of all those men and the fact that he was to blame really affected him. His hair grew long, he didn't leave his ranch much, and he died not long…

Cool! Thanks for the answer!

Random questions about the episode, if anyone reads this far in: Did Ronald Reagan have rosacea or something? When he was on TV this episode his cheeks looked really red. I guess I haven't seen enough of Reagan to know? In the flashback, when Phillip was speaking Russian to Irina, when he pronounced her name it didn't…

Unlike Todd, I did feel sad at the whole Stan/Sandy unhappy marriage and now infidelity thing. Stan's wife seems so vulnerable and sad, and after Stan slept with Nina he looked ashamed, but I don't think he can help how he feels about Nina. Nina is so interesting to watch, and even more so now, with her cryptic…

I didn't know her name, but I knew from the previews that I recognized her. It wasn't until I watched the episode that I realized it was from Gossip Girl. She was in a bunch of episodes in season 5- aka the season that should be scrubbed from memory- but she was good in it and I thought she was very pretty then, and…

The Polish guy.

Oh, wow, yeah. Self-respect? I didn't even know the half of it. That make me not even feel irritated anymore, just sad for him.

She's also on Pretty Little Liars right now.

Yeah, I'm the idiot, LOL LOL LOL. Probably not you, with 100% certainty or anything. Non-idiots always come across as ignorant 12 year olds LOL LOL LOL.

Why is Sean O' Neal so funny? Sean O' Neal is funny.

Thank you for saying that. And welcome! Glad to meet you. But yeah, while what I definitely love about the AV club is that a lot of worthwhile discourse goes on, I also like the humor too. And everyone haws a different sense of humor, so … I can think of mean things to say easily (a questionable "talent"), but the…

@avclub-bf685d0c6e419fab93fb447f71610d36:disqus I wasn't even referring to whether the Adam/Natalia scene was rape, I mean just in general. Their comments indicate that they don't really understand rape and rape culture as a concept. That's even worse.

I wish! Sadly, Mad Men doesn't give screeners, and I guess he gets most of his timely reviews done based on those (he'd have to, right?). But like, last year he was reviewing GoT and Girls and MM all on the same night, and he was being ridiculously over-extended, hence the 4 AM post times. At least Girls will be over…

Well, obviously not everyone thinks that; I don't. In Season 4 she was made pretty unsympathetic a lot of the time, but what she went through last year was great. I don't know much about January Jones outside of that she's gorgeous, and I don't know if that's what people are reacting to, but to me she's Betty and she…

OMG! Someone needs to tell Todd to prioritize his shows this year.

You know a new Mad Men era has officially started when you spot the first inane, predictable Betty-bashing of the season. Goosebumps!
