Babushka can also mean (in North America, at least): a headscarf tied under the chin, typical of those worn by Polish and Russian women.

E&P are anti-heros, just like Tony Soprano. Main characters who lack conventional heroic attributes, but you find yourself liking them and/or cheering them on anyway.

Alison Wright is also appearing on Broadway right now. http://www.broadwayworld.co…

I thought I saw mail robot off to the side when they were talking in the hall.

I don't think that Stan's girl is a commie spy: I think she's CIA. Stan has been blatantly critical of the CIA (the assistant AG says "I know you're mad they blew your op"), he had a relationship with a Russian traitor who was killed by the CIA (Nina), he is now protective of Oleg, all of the leaks around the FBI…

As soon as Stan said "she's just like you: she likes beer and sports", I went, "Stan's girl's a spook". When she swore because she was late to work, it didn't seem natural; it seemed like a pose.

Paige was wore a Hang Ten t-shirt with the iconic little pair of footprints logo, during a few episodes in previous seasons. Hang Ten t-shirts also seen on Bobby Brady during the 1970's. California kids seemed SO cool to me who was growing up in the Chicago suburbs during the 1960's and 1970's.

Esprit really took off in the late 1970's (i wore an Esprit shirt in high school in 1978). Their website says that Susie & Doug Tompkins started the company in 1968.

Nice props/staging of Oleg's parents' apartment. Even though they are well off, they still had the "avoska" (string bag used for shopping) hanging on the coat tree. In the 1980's per "The Russians" by Hedrick Smith, everyone carried one of those bags around because Russians never knew what would be in the stores,…

Yep, at least in Chicago there was. As far back as the late 1980's, there was a free weekly newspaper called "The Reader" and they had a "Missed Connections" column. It was filled with, "You: blue eyed blond. Me: brown hair, 6'2" carrying green backpack. I saw you on the el on 9/20/89 reading "Pride and…

I'm picturing the Jazzercise woman, Judi Missett.

The same for me with Chinese Food. I thought I was having real Chinese when my mom would open up cans of La Choy. When I was in college and a guy said he was going to make Chinese food for me at his place as a special date, I was like. "Oh…great…thanks". When I actually tried his Chinese food (stir fried chicken…

I thought that Stan was looking much less harried, more in shape when he was cooking dinner, than he had recently….like KellyAnne Conway's recent absence, and she comes back all-Restylaned/cheek implants "fresh" looking yesterday.

Someone had an Elizabeth kill count going last year….Is that person back?

I thought that maybe they wouldn't have cremated the body because of airborne concerns, but I looked it up and read a UNICEF/WHO Q&A on dealing with the bodies of people dead from Cholera, Lassa fever and/or other hemorrhaging diseases, and it said "Yes" to "Allow embalming?" for bodies of people dead from Lassa. http…

Gabriel showed them a map/satellite footage of where to dig, when they were at his place, talking in the kitchen.

Happens all the time. Jennifer Garner did it twice: Scott Foley first then Ben Affleck. It's kind of sad in a way but who knows what goes on in someone else's marriage? Work place romances in any industry are common enough.

Maybe they'll give him groceries to hide behind like they did Elizabeth/Keri when Keri was pregnant last season.

Whenever I looked at Ken, I saw Jon Hamm, and I knew there was no way he would win…no matter how sincerely compelling his back story was (the speech impediment, the social insecurity, his playing for his daughter), it felt like the jury would just think, "Yeah, but you've got the whole Adonis thing working for you, so…
