Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

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

When he goes back to NYC, I thick he'll be a better boss and a better person, because he accepts himself now.

I saw some good analysis of it on (I think) Vulture where they connected the finale to Don's famous pitch in the S1 finale "The Wheel." Which talks about returning to the place where you are loved.

And I think the import of Don's scene in the therapy session where he hugged the man, was that he *has* been loved but he couldn't recognize or accept it (because he doesn't feel worthy of being loved, or known). That, in fact, in the three phone calls he had during the episode with the three most important women in his life each had expressed love to him and it sounded like "I know" from Betty, and "Come home" from Peggy, and "treat me with respect" from Sally.

So I think Don is changed, but he's still cookie dough. And I did think of that last shot of Buffy when I saw Don's little smile.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I wish I had seen the last few episodes before they were postmortumed all over NPR. It would have made my reactions better I think.

I loved the scenes between Peggy and Roger and I loved that Jared Harris directed that episode.

I'm glad Joan is starting her own company instead of just frolicking with her man toy. He's the loser.

I'm glad Trudy and Pete got back together. i think that dinner with his brother was very telling.

One thing has really bothered me about this season: I can't remember how Ken lost his eye. Can someone refresh my memory?

It was an accident with a client, I think.

Correct. The Detroit car accounts.

Did it happen on screen?

No, we just saw the aftermath and Ken was pissed.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Yeah, I remember something to the effect of "Let's go hunting!" and then cut-to Ken with an eyepatch.

Ah, now I'm starting to remember. I may have to go back and watch it all from the start again. After I rematch all of Fringe and Justified and …

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

Does anyone watch Ripper Street? It's been a good season so far, but I don't think I like Long Susan being an outright villain.

I haven't seen any of this season yet, but I like the show.
