Apparently Bert Cooper doesn't mind having an identity thief who cost them NAA on the roster.   It's a tragic situation and I agree that Lane had to go, ultimately, but Don could have called a few people and gotten him a job somewhere else.

As I said downthread, Don's dishonesty cost them the North American Aviation contract.  The senior partners treat the firm as their personal bank account, and the only reason that Don didn't wind up as a mid-level functionary at McCann is because of Lane.  He could've done better by him, especially since Don should…

Don pushed out Lane for forging a signature that doesn't even belong to him in the first place. "Lane, how dare you forge Don Draper's signature!  I valiantly stole his identity, you dishonest bastard!"

Lest we forget too that Don's secret life cost the company a major account and he had Pete Campbell lie for him to the partner's faces, so Don talking about integrity is a bit fuckin' rich.

I think it's fair to only rate the shows against themselves, as comparing all shows across the board requires some overly broad criteria.   However, I think the AV Club should establish a gold, silver, and bronze tier, so this episode is one of the worst of a gold-medal-winning show.  Not a problem there.

Assuming you discard the middle two of each season, that's still 2/3rds great, which is better than the author's stated ratio of 6/16, which is 37.5%

The "battle for the globe" doesn't scale for most people.  I was never convinced that a) a single Avenger was going to die b) that the world's armies, including its nuclear capability, would be insufficient to stop the invaders, and c) that the invaders had any sense of a plan whatsoever.  Seriously, what was their…

You care about the people on the ferry precisely because you did not really know what was going to happen to them.  Either set of people, if we were to be honest about human psychology, could have pushed the button at any time, and we might not have even blamed them.   There is tension because of the conflict we see…

I liked this one, but it definitely ranks 6/6.  For some reason, the second episode of each series is the worst one, as I would put "The Blind Banker" at 5/6.  I think it's my strong mancrush on Moriarty that does it, though.

Whether you think it's logical or not, the clear message of the show was not "oh Sherlock Holmes is overwhelmed by nudity" it's "I cannot glean any relevant social information from this person because she does not have any dust, pet hair, other kinds of dirt, etc. on her clothes"

It has to be super-boring to be so wrapped up in sexual and gender politics that thre's no fun to be had in life.

But…there was another 44 minutes of television we all could have talked about.
