He's quite the looker.

Does anyone else wish that in addition to writing one of the great American dramas of all time Matt Weiner would publish a weekly guide to understanding his latest episode of Mad Men?

No, trust me. It really was not. If you were "fast" it meant you would initiate conversations with boys and, yes, flirt with them and maybe tease but not go all the way. That was what "tramps" did. Don was using the word correctly.

It most certainly did.

Arriving home after a dinner out in which two glasses of wine were consumed, I watched the premiere and enjoyed it. But I definitely had to rewatch it this morning to get all (or most) of the details straight. The recap definitely helps.

I am not only claustrophobic but also not at all appreciative of bugs. Needless to say, those scenes with poor Helena in the box were hard to watch,

I did love Dewey, even with all his dumbass notions and nazi tattoos.

Yes, indeed. I have been moving down the thread hoping someone zeroed in on this part of the show since Mr. Adams did not. I think that what made it such a great scene was the fact that a part of them was being made to understand (against their will, really) the Afghan point of view about the constant invasions of…

You could see him imagining his boy as one of the young Russian soldiers who were all killed when the Afghanis came upon them swimming.

That moment was terrifying, I must say.

Isn't it a typical defense strategy to put forth a myriad of alternative suspects to create reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors? You do want your lawyers fighting for you.

Rita Moreno is still such good-looking woman, even in her 80's. Wowsa!

From all writers who never seem afraid of employing obvious cliches because they have no understanding of real human beings.

Still, very satisfying to watch Loretta step on his wrist like that. Good girl.

Today the truly brave and creative show runners are the one who don't feel the need to kill off all their characters in the final episode: True Detective, Fargo, and now, Justified. Well done, Graham Yost.

Wow, you're such a romantic.

I just wrote a comment below remarking on that as well.

I didn't read the books, so can someone explain why it is that neither Jamie nor Claire tried to explain to Laoghaire that while their marriage seemed to be one of convenience on the surface that they had both come to realize that they actually loved each other and were happy together? Doesn't that seem like the…

Well, it certainly didn't help that the Soviet Union was spending what limited capital it had in its arms race with the West and in propping up its satellite governments in the Eastern bloc. When you compare it to Japan and Western Europe, which also experienced widespread destruction in the war and had rebuilt…

I think you're right. It might be that she needed the interlude as a kind of escape from all the other emotionally fraught pressures in her life.
