Masters of Sex S01E07
This episode is all deception all the time. Libby deceiving Bill and vice versa, Barton deceiving his wife and vice versa, Ethan deceiving the Vivian, Ethan deceiving Bill, Dr. Blonde deceiving his wife, Dr. Blonde and Mrs. Scully deceiving themselves...
Ginny is portrayed as the only one who is honest with herself and with others.
Why doesn't Masters like having sex with his wife?
Questions of setting: Hotel vs. bedroom, hotel vs. backseat, brothel vs. hospital, bedroom vs. hospital
I am not comfortable with this conflation of secretarial needs and sexual needs.

Twin Peaks S02E18: On the Wings of Love
- I so don't care about Windom Earle at all. I'm told that the last two episodes of the series make up for this second half of the second season, but I have my doubts.
- I only just realized that Gordon Cole is David Lynch. But I thought he left the show midway through the season?
- There's only 9 minutes left of the episode and it is unbearable.
Masters of Sex S01E06
Before I begin I'm going to play Where Do I Know That Actor From?
- Barton Scully is played by Beau Bridges. I know the name well, mostly from crossword puzzles. I actually haven't seen him anything else, and he is NOT Stephen Root, who played Jimmy James on Newsradio
- Dr. DePaul is played by Julianne Nicholson, aka Detective Wheeler on Law & Order: CI
- Vivian Scully is played by Rose McIver, who I recognize as Tinkerbell on Once Upon a Time.
- Essie Masters is Ann Dowd, who has appeared as several characters in the L&O franchise. Her most memorable role, in my mind, was as a pediatric oncologist in the L&O episode "Compassion."
- Bill Masters is played by Michael Sheen, who I did not think I recognized, but surprisingly played Castor in TRON: Legacy. (This guy)
Now let's begin!
It's interesting how the show can be so suggestive without being too graphic.
Now back to this "Men focus on the future, women reflect on the past" motif.
If Bill has given up on his quest to get Libby preggers, will he have good sex with her?
"Going up?" Heheh
I like seeing Ginny overestimate herself around Dr. DePaul. It increases her esteem of Dr. DePaul which is neat to see, and makes Ginny push herself.
"My clitoris beat my vagina??" I like when the show is funny. This episode is funny, which is good because last episode was sad.
"God helps them who helps themselves" - this episode is all about that, and how men are unnecessary to women's pleasure.
(I didn't include Allison Janney in my actor round-up at the top because she's Allison Janney, duh.)
Oh wait, this isn't funny anymore. Poor Allison Janney :(
Wait, Ginny gets a promotion so she takes her shirt off?? Booo

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.

Masters of Sex S01E04
Those are some knockers on that one lady.
Who plays Bill's mother? I've definitely seen her in things before.
This show really places a lot of emphasis on how important it is for a woman to be good in bed.

What? Did this show suddenly get an opening credits sequence? I guess so...
Woohoo! U of R!!
This actress looks really familiar. Where do I know her from?
Why are so many male TV doctors assholes?
