Prioritize:
Another heavily feminist episode, but honestly, I'd take feminists over religious zealots any day. I do have a bigger issue, though. I never quite warmed up to Elisabeth Moss in Mad Men, and I'm having the same problem here. She's a great actress, but I've never found her to be a sexual object; she always reminds me of a frog. On the other hand, Yvonne Strahovski plays the bossy villain exceptionally well, and I find her incredibly likable.
