I agree. I absolutely loved this episode and thought it was really amazing and affecting. It was hard not to cry when Kevin was at the well with little Patti. It reminded me of one of the Mad Men dream sequences.

At least it wasn't Roger Sterling singing "My Old Kentucky Home" in 1962.

Also, Colin Quinn as an Irish gangster.

Ha! That quote reminded me of one of the first Mad Men scenes, Sally Draper with the dry cleaning bag over her head, and Betty Draper's reaction, "my clothes better not be all over the floor!' or something to that effect.

No, Louis CK has Cleary stand-in written all over him.

Can someone clarify - did Thack actually CURE Abby's syphilis? I thought of that when they were cuddling in bed together post-coital. Is he not worried now about getting syphilis because he cured it?

I LOVED that whole scene. I don't know if it's that the two actors have genuine chemistry, but it looked like such a fun, natural sex scene. Dammit, all women should find a Bertie!

I don't think Gallinger will be shamed. You're forgetting that everyone is more likely to believe Gallinger over Algie because Algie is black. It doesn't matter if he finds out the truth - it will look to the hospital board like he's trying to shift blame. Gallinger wins either way.

She is trying to move up as a nurse and get support to go to medical school and become a doctor, and one way of doing that is to closely ally herself with the head of the hospital. I don't think she has any feelings for Henry at all but believes she can work him to gain leverage in the hospital.

No, his whole aim was to gain standing in the hospital by taking Algie down a peg and making him look incompetent. The two have been competing for a leg up all season, and Gallinger knowing this was Algie's big surgery he took the opportunity to play dirty.

No, I highly doubt that. I just think that they've been his servants so long, and Algie has been running around that house since he was 3 (since they both worked there, they had to bring him with them to work), so Mr. Robertson has known him like a son since then.

Can someone explain the situation with the sick immigrants on the boats and what the Robertsons are getting out of it by handling it the way they are? That whole part confused me.

and also - hubby knows jack sh-t about sex. "I hope that wasn't too bad" + are you pregnant yet?" five seconds later just sounds like a guy who doesn't know what he's doing, and that it's probably boring and mechanical (I think she was just being polite - it wasn't an unpleasant experience, but just not hot and…

Handsome isn't the problem. She isn't attracted to him and has no emotional connection to him the way she does to Algie (I SO want them to start hooking up again). The marriage is a business arrangement. Nothing is less sexy than feeling like you are forced into a marriage to keep your family affloat financially.

Tara always has a love interest, which probability-wise is fascinating. What are the odds in the apocalypse the only single lesbian would find a new love interest everywhere she goes? and that none of the heteros except for Glenn and Maggie (and Abraham/Rosalita who were already together I think?) would hook up?
This…

True, I am always amazed at how clean and unsweaty they look after being covered in blood and Georgia sweat. How do they get the blood out of their one or two shirts so well?? how are their clothes not tattered and blood stained every episode? not to mention oily faces and dirty teeth. they definitely should look more…

I think you'd get used to it though? if everyone smells bad then you can't really smell eachother? And that the urge to fuck can overcome a lot of things.

my cousins moved to Scotland (military reasons) from South Carolina at ages 9 and 7 and lived there for 3 years. picked up really strong Scottish accents without even trying. moved back, to southern California 3 years later and lost the accents pretty fast. I still like to remind them (theyre in their 30s now) of that…

I am all in favor of adding Dwight Schrute to the show. Are you kidding me? He can raise and lower his cholesterol at will, has superior Nazi genes so he would never zombify, has martial arts training, has hunted werewolves? the list goes on and on.

Does the actress playing Deanna have some bad plastic surgery? She has one single facial expression, this off-putting stare, no matter what the situation is in the scene. I hope she's gone soon.
