Worse than Bobbie Barrett?

Don's got a lot of flaws, but poor eyesight isn't one of them. The only thing Di has in common with other Draper paramours is hair color. The Draper girl who's most like her in appearance (in that she's more full-figured than average) is Sylvia. Seeing Diana and Sylvia in the elevator together, that "resemblance"

There were a lot of rewinds to catch muttered or slurred lines this episode.

I don't think Harry was ever actually sweet. He's the classic guy who's just as bad as Pete Campbell (or any of the other S1 sexual predators off to score on Peggy) he's just less overt because he's more cowardly.

That's an "absence makes the heart grow fonder" comment. Betty's barely been present enough to annoy us for two years.

It was a nice "Just in case you forgot why you didn't like me on this show" moment.

That's some expensive revenge. She would be the apple in the pig's mouth.

True. But it turns out that Creeper Harry's the best agent ever. He got Megan a check for $1M, and she didn't even have to Zou Bisou Bisou him for it.

Pretty sure that if Sal had sketched that up, Don would've been shirtless.

Megan's return was almost worth it for the addition of the sacre bleus and various Marie-isms (she didn't quite reach the heights of "She is the apple in the pig's mouth!)

I don't think so. I seem to remember that part of their show was Leanne licking the scar from Elizabeth's S1 wound.

Amador's death was an accident, but Martha doesn't know that. Stan and the others at the FBI believed that Amador was killed by the Russians. Martha doesn't know (yet) that Clark's a Soviet spy, but she knows he's a spy. How long before the thought "I'm married to a spy" links up to the thought "My ex-boyfriend was

There was a ton of Liz boning in S1. The idea that it was becoming hard for her was introduced last season after her injury (although the season premiere for S2 had her in a honeypot threeway with her counterpart from the spy family that gets murdered). The fact that it's hard on Philip (now that their marriage is a

I think what looked like Elizabeth enjoying the sex was her "making it real" as Philip once put it. Her reaction afterward wasn't that of someone who just enjoyed a wonderful evening of sexual release.

Along with the Zero bar, one of the great underappreciated US candy bars.

If U.S. authorities caught any indication that Elizabeth had visited the USSR or any other Soviet block country (and I believe it was like going to Cuba, in that a U.S. national needed a special state department permit to travel there legally) it would potentially compromise her and Philip's mission.

Slate puts it out. I gave up on it after an episode and a half because it seemed loose and kind of beside the point, even compared to stuff like the Breaking Bad podcast.

"Martha started out as something of a sad-sack joke, someone that Agent Amador dated seemingly out of pity more than anything else,

Yeah, it's supposed to be suspicious. It isn't supposed to be stupidly, obviously suspicious. If there's any subtlety, we credit Skye for figuring things out. Instead, she looks stupid for being surprised when she figures out he was lying to her.

Not precisely true. The beginning of Winter Soldier ties in directly to the Agents of SHIELD episode before the movie came out. Sitwell goes from helping out on the hunt for the Clairvoyant to going to the boat where Captain America rescues him in the second scene of the movie. It's not much, but it's not nothing.
