Matts point about here not being surprised is well taken though. Although for someone living in NY and not interacting much with people of color, I can sort of see her being clueless about how pervasive racism is. Especially if dating Captain America gave a bit rainbow colored picture of the USA.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
So, it's nice that Joss wanted Peggy to be so egalitarian and color-blind, but it just wasn't realistic.
How does Joss fit in?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
No one has mentioned "Who's this clown?" yet? I laughed so hard at that line (and pan to actual clown) and still laugh when I think about it.

That was a nice throw-away.

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

I can see Peggy being unconcerned with the race of a man she's interested in, that's no problem. But she's been living in America for years. No way would open racism be an outrageous surprise to her.
Yes, this.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Did anyone else think that the actor who plays Wilkes has STRONG Obama-isms? Vocal inflection, mannerisms, smile?
Also, I kind of think Daniel's nurse ladyfriend is Red Room. Also possibly the actress. (Though it seems like maybe the Zero Matter is...inside her? Or at least some of it?)

I'm curious as to how subtle the Senator is going to be about what I'm sure is Thompson's (Thomlinson?) Hydrafication. And if T-whomever will have enough backbone to resist.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

He reminded me a little more of Tim Russ, but I get what you're saying.
I agree the racial stuff seemed off, but I enjoyed having Peggy back on TV again (and I love Mrs. Jarvis.)
