They do a good job of making Ethan a really layered character. Sometimes (when he's with Libby) he's a really nice doctor. When he's with the good ol' boy doctors he's a pompous ass. When he's drunk, he's cruel. He isn't painted as just one thing all the time.
This episode seems to be about how a man's penis (Dr. Blonde, Ethan w/Vivian) is useless if the woman doesn't have a magic vagina (like Ginny's, as per last episode)
Bill Masters is the least layered character in the show. His father abused him so he's terrified of having a child. He resents his mother.
I love that Dr. Blonde's marriage is a total non-issue
Oh! It's Allison Janney!!
Oh God, I may be the worst Jewish girl ever, but I would never want to marry a doctor.
I liked Vivian, but she did kinda trick Hoss. Too bad.
It's nice that we're 5 episodes in before the show really starts to go into Ginny's work/life balance.
"If God wasn't invented for a time like this, then why invent him at all?" Haha, that's good :)
This episode is all kinds of sad. :(
It is nice to see Bill get confrontational at last. Cathartic.
"Those days are over, son. They are dead and buried." This scene is the opposite of what Essie was saying last episode about women looking back and men chugging forward.
Wait, this episode didn't have the title sequence. Maybe the files I'm watching have cut it out?
Wow. That's really powerful that he closed her eyes before he began sobbing.
