Yes, when Elizabeth virtually glared at Philip as he finished the phone-booth call to Martha, I thought she'd been able to read his lips.

As Ivana points out below, Elizabeth didn't "cheat" on Philip with Gregory, because throughout most of their charade marriage, E&P did not consider themselves to be actual spouses. E is now upset at Philip because the two of them had started to draw closer and had agreed to be honest with each other. Then Philip

I didn't understand how the directive Arkady read about not committing assassinations on American soil tipped off Oleg that Zinaida was working for the USSR. Not sure I even got that linkage right. Help?

Would apologizing suggest an admission of guilt that could be used against the officer in a legal proceeding?

OMG, one of the worst.

"Son, I could fill out a steamer trunk with the amount of stupid I think you are" was pretty damned good, too.

"It's one thing to have an actor in mind when writing something, but to alter it to "fit" a particular star doesn't improve the end product all that often."

One of my favorite movies!

Meryl Streep as Julia Child and Jane Lynch as her sister, Dorothy, in "Julie & Julia." They had only a scene or two together, but what magic. Totally believable as sisters.

In the flashback scenes in "The New Girl," Peggy's sister Anita is very pregnant, so she gave birth to a child shortly after Peggy did. But until we saw that, there was a bit of deliberate misdirection.

Excellent analysis! I love reading your insights into each Mad Men episode. Thank you!

Can't help it — the song now always reminds me of Emma Thompson's hilarious turn as Nanny G on Cheers…

Yeah, all the boys look and act too young, but they're mostly after-thoughts anyway. Shipka does a fine job, but even she looks a bit young for her character's age of 16 (not surprising as Shipka was 14 1/2 at the time of filming).
