The automat and the diner were two different venues, I believe.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That would make me feel better.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm suspecting something is shifty with the waitress (even though I like her) and/or with the women's apartment she got Peggy into. (My grandma lived in a similar situation in nursing school, and she routinely sneaked out her window after curfew.)
I'm also somewhat dim, because while I was watching, I thought, "Man, the Roxxon executive looks a LOT like Leland Palmer!" And then I looked on IMDB. Duh, Steph. Duh.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I know that there were hotel/apartments specifically for women in New York which could be pretty restrictive as to behavior on the premises. I don't think they were as particular as to dress.
Remember Bosom Buddies?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Tara Butters and Michelle Fazekas, who are serving as executive producers / show-runners for Agent Carter, also ran the short-lived but generally well-regarded Reaper from a few years back, in which Ray Wise played The Devil (the most perfect casting EVER). I suspect that connection served a role in Wise's casting.
In an amusing happenstance, Butters is married to Marc Guggenheim, who's one of the executive producers for Arrow (DC and Marvel rivalry right there in their living room!). Here's a fun and informative interview of Butters and Fazekas by Guggenheim, in which they talk about both shows: [link]

Me too.

I don't know about shifty but I assume she'll have a more important role in the future, since they got Lyndsey Fonseca.
I was surprisingly sad about Colleen's death (I was hoping she could be a Lacey Thornfield type), and I was glad they let Peggy cry about it onscreen.
Also, poor Bubs.

I like that it is a mini-series. Anything can happen to anyone, except for Peggy, Howard, and Jarvis.

There seem to be more mini-series coming on ... which I like. They seem to have stopped for a while, but I like having something that has a plot with a definite end. Or maybe it's just me - I tend to drop out when series go on with a plot bunny that's more like the Energizer bunny and just keep going and going.

The showrunners are open to a full second season, though, so this could become a Korra situation.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I think I would prefer it as a midseason replacement every year.
