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 really great.
And we live to fight another day.

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.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Also, I kind of think Daniel's nurse ladyfriend is Red Room.
Oh yeah.

I don't know, I think these writers and the showrunner aren't necessarily telegraphing that a woman is an evil secret agent or criminal mastermind just because she seems awesome. I mean, they did for Dottie and Whitney Frost, but I don't think it needs to be universal.

I was going for the blonde thing, myself.

I hope she's not evil. I'd like Daniel to have to make a choice between Peggy and a good woman who isn't Peggy.

Yes, distractingly so.

That was the best!

Yes, I'm suspecting all blonde females on the show of being Red Room.

Agree. I'm really hoping Mrs. Jarvis isn't evil because she's awesome.
