Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

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

One of the clips for next week did seem to show him following the Jet Set to the caribbean. It's an interesting turn for his character, and I have to admire the narrative risk taking.

Ultimately he has to go back to NYC (I do think he loves his kids. Besides, show not named Eurotrash Beach Bum), but it will be interesting to see if he can undergo a sea change.

“Not dead yet!”

What's been getting me about that phone call he made was how easily he said the name Dick Whitman. And he didn't repeat it, in that rusty sort of way when you haven't said a name for a long time or the person on the other line might be surprised to hear it.

Was it? I thought he was somewhere like San Diego—I could've sworn I saw military ships in the background and sailors.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that's what I saw.

There were a few things I thought were too on the mark -- that girl's name was Joy? Also, the one guy was like, "Oh, I'm gay. Therefore, I will be your new hairdresser!" @@

"Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance."

Though in fairness to arty German bohemians, Astrid Kirchherr wasn't a professional hairdresser, but she gave the Beatles their distinctive haircuts.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Yeah, there was too much on-the-nose-ness. I was guessing that the Eurotrash were secretly penniless Romany, like in the show I never watched.

I totally thought about her and Klaus while he was on, Hec. I'm just glad that haircut finally went; it drove my beauty-school dropout mom insane to look at it. Every time she saw it, she thought it was supremely wrong. Even though I did think that Peggy wouldn't have hair as up to date as Joan's.

We've seen her with her hair different before. That time that she met the guys at the strip club, she had it up and it looked really nice.

Yeah, that was a good look.
