Is anyone watching Turn? I can't tell if it's up my alley from the ads and promos.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Well. That was a super interesting Mad Men.
It didn't make a lot of sense, but I loved Don's last line! Nice twist.

Did it not? I thought maybe I just wasn't getting everything. I enjoyed it anyway. And, yeah, that ending was unexpected and great.
Only a little ways into this week's Fargo. Are they going to give us the whole True Story spiel every week?

Don must be super desperate, and I have no idea how he's going to stick to those terms.
Is Mad Men straight-up trolling us with the very existence of Bobby Draper? I mean really. Will next week's episode feature extended scenes of Gene pooping? I actually don't know how old Gene is anymore.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Don is one of the luckiest bastards in the fictional universe. People around him seem to implode, especially when they are in competition with him. I think it is possible he can stick to the terms. He has been amazingly controlled during his hiatus and excellent at keeping up appearances.

We've seen him do that before though. When he was first with Megan he wasn't drinking as much and not cheating, but he always ends up going back to his old ways.

I was actually expecting him to end up with that blonde woman. Maybe he's grown?

I think it's interesting that Bob (is that his name? Ted' guy) referred to Don as their collective ex-wife, and he's much more willing to bow to their wishes to stay together than he is with Megan.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
sj,
sure, but one could argue that he is changing a bit: his relationship with his daughter is pretty good (for now) and he has been as honest with her as he could be.
I was surprised that he and Megan were still married when the season started. She said some terrible shit to him at the end of last season that I thought would be unforgivable. Don was an ass of course, but that was just bad business.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
le nubian: He still lied to his daughter before he realized she was on to him and only then did he tell her the truth about his job. And I don't think he ever told Megan about his affair. I feel that everything with Don is still about appearances and keeping up the persona he created for himself. Eventually that persona is unsustainable.
