I personally can't wait for Olmos to do Adama voice when he finally says "Hail…Hydra."

Yeah, and I agree with him. It's not going to be set up in the sense of Civil War being caused by the current beef between Coulson and Agent Escalante, Civil War featuring flashbacks to events that happened on Agents of SHIELD, etc. No, it'll be more subtle, the stuff that happens on Agents of SHIELD will be…

Pete was pretending to be a human being in that scene. Isn't that what someone's supposed to say to a guy who's gotten fired?

It's two days late and buried under 2000+ comments, but what the heck? I had a lot to write.

Yeah, I recently re-watched the first few episodes of S1, and I was a little surprised by a scene where the guys take Joan and Peggy to lunch. Ken has a moment where he corners Peggy that makes him look worse than Pete on the sexual predator scale. Dude was a nasty piece of work in S1.

The more amazing thing is if you compare that reaction shot to the shot of him seeing her in the dream sequence. The look is similar, but in one scene he's using it to show a childlike sense of being overwhelmed by happiness, in the other, to show the depths of despair.

You're thinking of Midge.

Wow, it's like Pastor Tim is introducing the concept of organized religion to you.

I totally thought Pastor Tim was KGB when the character was introduced. The way that girl from his church "just happened" to stumble upon Paige looked incredibly fishy, and Pastor Tim introducing Paige to social justice activism looked like a soft launch for a KGB career.

So the episode was set on Feb 10-11, 1983?

Yeah, for the flashbacks in the episode where we first learned about Philip's son, it seemed to me that all his Russian dialogue was overdubbed by someone whose voice was an octave higher and sing-songy. I was actually wondering if they were going to bring that crazy Misha overdub back when Paige asked him to speak…

…and Philip assuring Elizabeth that Alexander Haig wasn't actually performing a coup d'etat on the day Reagan got shot. Even as beat-down as Philip has been this season, he's still the intuitive one who gets the way people think.

The Centre seems determined to make that assumption reality, one way or another.

Nice catch!

Actually, it's a pretty brilliant pitch, until he botches the tag line. Maybe if he'd talked it out with some writers, they would've pointed out that "where you're going" in this pitch is the grave.

My favorite pitch that wasn't included on this list was Don's shaming of the Honda exec in Chrysanthemum and the Sword. It's a cynical exercise, an appeal to honor from a man who doesn't have any (particularly that season). However, it's a good moment of Don showing that advertising is about how the target audience…

Yeah, I'll never throw in with the scorn this article and a lot of commentators have for it. The Carousel isn't a cynical dodge because the product being sold isn't American families or happiness. Nostalgia is intrinsic to the product—we take pictures for the sake of nostalgia, out of a desire to create and preserve…

I'm pretty sure Stan was the one with the tie camera in Echo, not Philip. I think there was a scene in an earlier episode where Philip channeled the real confusion he experienced the first time someone tried to explain the Internet to him in order to get a source to open up about where the servers were located (I want…

Roger takes offense at this. He also eats the celery in his Bloody Mary.

The 1980s were a nightmarish time for produce in the U.S. I don't think I ate a single naturally ripened tomato that entire decade.
