It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee, I was getting ready to post that, -t. And yeah, you're not kidding. Lot of lot there.

"He doesn't own your vagina." "No, but he's renting it." We've come a long way baby, haven't we, Peggy?

And I loved that old school new school shot with Peggy and Pete looking at each other.

I think I always like the outsider viewpoints of this show best. It's good to remember that in their little cloistered environment, people (the people they're advertising to) don't think that much of them.

Punishingly Intricate

Loved Peggy peeking into Don's office!

John Slattery directed the ep and I think it was the best of the season so far.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Alan Sepinwall points out that the Velvet Underground started in 1966, so they're still a year away.

(IIRC, Lou Reed was working at the Brill Building in 1965 or thereabouts.)

no doubt Corwood or someone will be around shortly to correct me....

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

You're right, Theodosia. Lou Reed & The Primitives' "Do The Ostrich" was a 1965 release. I think those early demos on the Peel Slowly And See box with Reed and Cale figuring their way around a few of the classic songs date from early 1966.

Also wrong: Love's "Signed D.C." was recorded in 1966 in LA. There's no way that someone was covering it in NYC in early 1965.

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

Loved Peggy peeking into Don's office!

I screamed! I was like: is that a face in the window above his office?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That was such a great moment!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Love's "Signed D.C." was recorded in 1966 in LA.

THAT'S what that song was! I couldn't place it over all the other noise. Yeah, what an odd mistake for the show to make.

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

Wow. A bunch of people seem to be very convinced that the female antagonist in this week's Leverage was a Sarah Palin analogue. Despite her, you know, being both intelligent and intelligible. And John denying it.

It's not like he'd beat around the bush about it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You mean the one who had sex?

Ewwwwwwww

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, everyone at TWoP was calling her Palinesque, and I was confused because I didn't get that at all. Why, because she was a woman in politics who had an accent? I really can't see any other similarities.
