I think we have seen a lot of changes in Betty. Last season Betty was so worried that Don would have to eat leftovers out of the fridge. This year she didn't seem to care. Plus, she insisted on ordering what she wanted from room service. She's testing her power.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

CI, I suppose but I wish he had been upfront: give me my money or take the $$ and go. He was trying to intimidate her for a bit - even if it didn't last long.

Corwood, yeah that scene with Peggy and Don made me blush, in a not-good way

She really articulates one of the radical strengths of the show. It just says: this is what entitlement looks like. It's invisible to the people who receive it.

We're rewatching Mad Men, because the original broadcast was interupted several times. All the little power struggles that are going on are fascinating. I don't think it was coincidence that the first time we see Betty she's wearing pants.
I can't believe Betty made that Gone with the Wind comment to her daughter.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

OMG I KNOW! I was all, "OH NO SHE DIDN'T!" and the hub was all, "what?" and I guess some people, if they were not horsey drama queens with a tendency to be easily SCARRED FOR LIFE just don't understand.
(yes, dear, I know you lurk on this thread.)

Most of the time, I think.
