Shoutout to @michaelsheen who is currently sitting her rightful throne as a Local Expert in this time of the Sheenaissance, who never lost the faith during MoS’s dark days of gorilla boob flashing and is still there for me with the HD gifs
Dr. Dadglasses, MD. Somebody’s fingerprints are all over the right lens (MAYBE MICHAEL SHEEN’S, AM I RIGHT).
These are the backup pair that have a “MASTERS - 2″ sticker on the side of the case, so whoooo knows if they were ever actually used, but let’s live in a dream world where that is absolutely certain.
The Masters of Sex store is up on Screenbid (x) for any fans out there that want to buy something from the show. Better yet, everything is 60% off until November 27th. Some items are still a little pricey for what they are, but there’s some cool stuff on there. I’ll even tag @examroom5 and @fuckyeahmos to temporarily wake them from their eternal slumber.
If you think I didn’t just buy Bill’s second pair of glasses YOU HAVE NO FAITH IN ME AND I RENOUNCE YOU
I’m curious now, @michaelsheen, did you buy Bill and Gini’s Chancery Park room fob?

Hey, for all the MoS fans out there: The Simpsons episode with Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan airs on March 5th.
Y’all…this is what happens when you’re bored.
I made the Masters and Johnson families in the Sims 3, excluding Jenny, Howie, and Lisa. Virginia’s face was VERY hard. It was difficult to not make her look like the Sweet Transvestite from Rocky Horror.
Bill’s traits: Brooding, Genius, Loner, Workaholic, Dislikes Children
Virginia’s traits: Ambitious, Commitment Issues, Friendly, Irresistible, Natural Born Performer
Libby’s traits: Family-Oriented, Nurturing, Good, Hopeless Romantic, Adventurous
Henry’s traits: Couch Potato, Virtuoso, Clumsy, Daredevil, Brave
Tessa’s traits: Inappropriate, Artistic, Perceptive, Flirty, Party Animal
Johnny’s traits: Bookworm, Good, Hot-Headed, Neurotic
So who got to woo-hooin’ first?
Masters and Johnson have examined their last patient.
Thank you for a great 4 years.
Family Only
Damn, this episode had a bigger punch than I thought it would.
Bill has the right idea to keep his distance from Gini. There’s a lot to be said about this, and I see where a lot of fans are mad at him for not immediately opening up to her and accepting her apologies and offers. But from his perspective, he’s finally woken up. Bill’s attendance at AA has wedged the language and description of abuse and addiction deep in his brain, and he’s seeing their relationship as a cycle of desire and disappointment, with tired footwork. It’s not the push-pull of two sexy people chasing one another—it’s an endless slog with no guarantee of authentic satisfaction, something he’s starting to seek out with his new perspective. That’s not to say Bill isn’t culpable for the cycle. Bill’s naively lived his life assuming that the women around him would never lie to him or be capable of deceiving someone as smart as he is, and for the object of his obsession to not only have lied to him many times over the years, but so neatly and deftly—that would shake someone with an ego like his. The last time Gini lied to him about having another man in her life, he couldn’t get an erection for a year. This time, there’s no outrage—there’s nothing else to do but accept it, because Gini has established to him over and over that this is who she is. So it’s reasonable for him to be cautious with his vulnerabilities. He isn’t punishing anyone; we all know what that looks like. He doesn’t seem to be building up the old William H. Masters, MD impenetrable wall again, judging by the last shot of the episode.
Gini, meanwhile, is reacting to Nancy’s threatening presence (both through her open sexuality and her developing status as Bill’s “work wife”) by retreating into a reassuring and familiar routine. Get the guy. Men always love her more than she’s cared for them, so it should be easy. Putting the hotel key on his desk worked last time; why wouldn’t it work this time? She’s also just taken a double-whammy because Bill and Libby obviously slept together and there’s a chance for reconciliation. That’s ground-shaking; Bill’s obsession with her might not be as strong as it’s always been. He might be getting over her. Even with Libby moving on, it’s still going to be a shock that not only did Bill go home with Libby, but then he brushed off her confession about Dan in the mildest way, because it literally didn’t bother him. Now Bill’s obsession might not even exist anymore, which removes a huge chunk of what Gini’s always understood and assumed her power to be. Even when she’s in the part of the cycle where she hates Bill and wants nothing to do with him, she’s always enjoyed having the upper hand over some egotistical asshole. But the cycle that’s been guiding her ability to interact with Bill is failing her—he isn’t hitting the right steps or playing along anymore. Gini said it this episode: she has no understanding of what he’s been doing these last few weeks because he’s completely changed.
Obviously Bill is actually going through the steps of addiction recovery, even if he doesn’t realize it. Gini isn’t necessarily following him (she hasn’t even admitted there’s a problem), but she is curiously snagged on the idea of examining past errors and making amends. She’s apologized to Bill and has opened up, but it’s arguably superficial and comparable to the way Bill’s apology to Libby earlier in this season was mostly self-serving. Gini’s speech about Dan has a ring of truth, but ultimately, Gini hasn’t done any self-inventory or examination of herself or why she makes bad decisions, and she does need it. She isn’t the helpless secretary locked in to the whims of her powerful boss anymore, and she hasn’t been for a while—we can’t keep viewing her through that lens forever. Gini has agency, and she’s choosing to use it in destructive ways, apparently oblivious to how it’s affecting others. Look at how she reacted to the one person who suggested that she needs to search within—that was a pretty pointed threat to Dr. Madden about calling the APA. So yes, Gini’s apology and appeal to Bill was emotionally satisfying, but... didn’t it sound pretty familiar? It’s basically a regurgitation and paraphrase of what Bill said to her in the season 3 finale. There’s not much originality in it, and it doesn’t really ring true. She gets the tone of her voice right, but the words are Bill’s. And Gini is genuinely surprised by Bill’s refusal because he genuinely believes she doesn’t love him—that goes against what they’ve always done, which is to screen the truth from each other behind a thin veneer that they both see through anyway but have always pretended is an opaque wall. For Bill to actually come out and tell the truth honestly and without an ulterior motive upsets the cycle and power balance between them. And for the narrative to move forward, either Gini is going to have to come to terms with this new reality, or there’s going to have to be a spanner in the works.
Promo photos for 4x08. Oh my god.
I get that they’re undercover at the knock-off clinic, but it just occurred to me:
This is almost definitely Dr. Francis and Lydia Holden cosplay.

HER MAKEUP WAS ON POINT THIS EPISODE
You’re my boss, and bosses shouldn’t sleep with their employees. Not ever. Isn’t that right? It happens. Sometimes it happens. How does it happen? Perhaps you have some special insight. I don’t. Gonna have to use your imagination. What if we imagined it together? Why would we do that? Role-playing can be an effective technique. Come on. I’m a shrink. Humor me a little, would you? Do I keep you late after work one night? Tell you my wife doesn’t understand me, that we’re essentially living like roommates? When you request a raise, do I ask for a little something in return? No. It’s not like that. Okay, then. What is it like? Do I proposition you?
This scene made me cry; I’m really enjoying how great this season is turning out to be. It’s impressive how ambiguously the writers are playing Art and Nancy—they might be evil, they might just be adorable but in crisis, who knows? Nancy conspired with her date for the night to make sure he’d get to choose her coat, and yet in the morning they got dressed with their backs to each other, hinting that it was just another transaction to her. And yet... poor Art. He has such an earnest face, and a deep sadness. And yet... Art is problematic for hiding Gini’s keys. AND YET.
