Yeah, the "I had a WAFFLE for dinner" and "food-holders" comments seemed very Liz Lemony, but somehow I can't picture Tessa going full Dorito dust-craving.

@inko8:disqus Huh, interesting.  I hadn't heard of that, so I'll take your word.  (I don't watch Mad Men, sue me.)

Actually, I think the beatdown Elizabeth dished out was because they dared to question her loyalty.

@avclub-ac42c9d40e7ba0f7192750c9c0596a8e:disqus I certainly don't remember hearing that phrase before the late 90's, though I do remember "What it is" from the 70's.  Totally different meaning, of course (greeting, rather than expression of apathy).

A condom which likely belonged to Chris, the FBI Agent/former boyfriend/current stalker.

Exactly what I thought — triple-agent ftw!

Sounds right.  And I really liked that moment, in part because I was thinking that Nina is totally playing Stan — if she wasn't before, she totally is now, as part of her promotion.  Just something about the intent look her new boss was giving her earlier plus the way her expression changed as she said that line to…

Yeah, the way they go back and forth on who's dissatisfied with the marriage it's like a game of tennis, or racquetball.  It is wearying, though.

I can't help but think that her firing that shotgun would have knocked her on her ass anyway, but maybe I'm overestimating the kickback.  Still expected her to punch Phillip in the nads for being so condescending.

I loved hearing that song at the end, but damn if it didn't trip my "this is out of time period" meter.  Took me out of the scene like finding a modern penny in my pocket.

They really do.  When Elizabeth was saying later that her head was somewhere else during that, I wondered how much more in tune they could possibly be with each other to turn that assassin into red mist — their teamwork is seamless.

I really liked the respectful/bemused half-smile John gave Lou after Lou punched the mob guy out at the end.

As awesome as that scene with Leon was, his complacency's gonna backfire on him at some point.

His name is The Wee Baby Seamus!  (Always cracks me up when they say that whole thing each time.)

I loved that!  And I loved that Archer and Lana were so busy arguing they didn't even notice the kid snapping the pic — that is classic them.

"Would ya believe . . ."

Man, I scrolled down so fast just to make sure someone had pointed this out.

It probably will be the other dean — meh.  My first thought was that Chang was talking to Pierce.

I was hoping he was "faking out of a genuine desire for a fresh start" too.  It's still possible that there'll be a glimmer of that, if Chang feels regret as his plan reaches fruition.  Alternately, it might be OK if Chang's nefarious plan goes through and no one notices — have it going on in the background as a C…
