The opening credits are not showing somebody falling out a window! I make this point every week. It's an abstract clip à la Saul Bass animated title sequences (and fantasy sequences like the one in Vertigo). The man stands in the office and everything starts falling apart; the furniture and the wall decorations fall…

Wow, you really don't like her. Aren't there other, far worse Mad Men characters to get all pissed off about? Roger Sterling is a far worse person than Megan, especially since his deep rottenness has harmed so many other people. But he's funny; so it's okay, right? And Pete's awful, sleeping around etc., but we all…

"Basket of Kisses"…yeah. That was the source of most of the venomous pro-Dr. Miller/Anti-Megan sentiment I encountered online last season. They really wanted Don to end up with Miller, not Calvet, because of what they each "represented", and what a "disappointing" "failure" of "character" it was for Don to simply…

She can't cook; it's obvious. But it's never questioned for a moment that she's going to cook, clean etc. (Like Don to Betty in the first season: "Can I get something to eat?" he asks indignantly. It's the sixties.)

"Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" is halfway through the famously-bad third season of Star Trek, after Roddenberry had basically left and a new producer (Fred Frieberger) had come on. And yes, its concept is turgid and thuddingly obvious, but it's still a well-told Trek story written with polish and tight pacing…
