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

And did you guys think that Draper's wife's disorder was a panic attack? I thought it was going to be something like ms which had to have been really difficult to diagnose and pretty much untreatable at the time. (Or so I would guess.)

I still can't decide which it is supposed to be, but the scene at the end where the husband called the Psychiatrist really freaked me out.

Yeah, that was freaky. Women were so NOT their own people.

Gil Mayo Mysteries: I'm pretty sure that the guy who played Danny in MI-5 had a small part in tonight's episode. (David Oyelowo - he's married to Jessica Oyelowo who plays DS Alex Jones. I now understand why he agreed to do such a tiny part.)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Oh my gosh, Burn Notice! How delightful is this show? Really really delightful. And Fiona was Princess Margaret on The Tudors, which is a bit of a type change for her!

Psych: So cute! But I fingered the Other Psychic all along. And that last shot of LDP was just pure porn.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

SA, I totally agree! LDP is totally hot in that scene. I was chagrined that I didn't figure out Other Psychic until half-way through, but at least I got it before the reveal.

I couldn't stay up late enough to watch Burn Notice. I did watch the first 20 minutes, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Mostly I want the main actor to just be there and not actually speak. Something about him bugs. I didn't like him on Monk, either.

Speaking of Monk, anyone else find they're having a hard time paying attention to the show? I think I'm losing my desire to watch as I couldn't really tell you what the plot lines were for the last two episodes. Oh well.

SA, I fingered the other Psych right away too.

(The Burn Notice was last week's -- don't ask me why.)

I think Monk has gone on past the point when it should have stopped. They don't let him progress and that really started to bug me about 2 seasons ago. (I taped it last night and well, haven't watched it yet.)

"Spontaneous psychic krav maga."

I *loved* this!

I watched three episodes of burn notice in succession and found it charming. It kind of reminds me of "Eyes" only without the heavy, and quite pretty to boot. Jeff Donovan reminds me of Julian McMahon in this role.

Thrive to spite them

Mad Men - finally watched the current episode. After reading the comments and then watching the episode, I think it made sense that Drapper called the doctor about his wife and the doctor talked. I'm not sure what the actual rules were at the time, but there is so much evidence in the episode that the women aren't considered as fully adult. What's his name talks when his daughter because "another man's problem" not when she's on her own.

I don't think her hand tremors or psychological but I have a feeling that the doctor and Drapper will treat her like it is until something else happens.

As for the contraceptive issues. I got the feeling that this doctor has some kind of unspoken arrangement with the the ad firm, with all their "girls" going to him to make sure the firm is protected against any kind of accident that would ruin their men.

Maybe I'm being really cynical or something, but the women really felt like a harem.

And of all the things I have to reconcile with and all the disturbing things they say the most disturbing one was when the guys were holding down the one to spray Right Guard on him and someone said "think of it like prom and your the girl" .
