You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

The first thing I said about 5 minutes or so in was: "oh great, one of those wacky Tony Sopranos episodes. Let's hope Don isn't in a coma."

I get what they were doing, but I was pretty alienated from most of the episode, despite some cute aspects here and there. And I just don't know what to say about the fake maid/thief shit. I mean really.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Finally saw last night's Mad Men.

Did you notice they referenced: Alice in Wonderland, The Prisoner and Rosemary's Baby (the book Sally was reading).

Thought the bit with Ida was very tense and scary. Had an off-kilter WTF element.

It definitely had a bit of a Twin Peaks vibe. Particularly that moment when Cutler gave Peggy the come-hither finger.

I don't know if Jon Hamm gets enough credit for his performance because he's letting all the cracks show. Particularly in that extended, uncomfortable scene with Sylvia in the elevator. So much going on in his face.

Cutler's hilarious. It's like having an extra, slightly weirder Roger around.

Stan is also hilarious.

The scene where Sylvia told Don to stop stalking her was excellent. She's more interesting breaking up with him and leaving him than she was with him.

Loved Sally in this ep; nice change after a season's worth of teen brattiness.

Ultimate High Point goes for Ken's tap-dance, though. And the look on Dawn's face.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(You don't need to whitefont.)

It makes it more mysterious and enigmatic. Like the episode!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

It also makes it impossible for people trying to read the thread on their cellphone to do that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, call it natural deselection. If the poster wants you to know the unspoilery information, they'll put it in blackfont. If it's whitefont then it's skippable.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

so effectively, you have lost your license for two weeks. why didn't they just suspend your license for 2 weeks? Why go through bureaucratic bullshit?

I swear. If I were running shit...

Juliebird, I think you meant to post that in Natter.
