Everything's got so many layers now.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"It's like everything he says means something else."
Definition of irony, no? It's all sophisticated and shit.
I just get the feeling that Weiner is feeling so confident in his storytelling right now. Last year he was creating that world and that in itself was fascinating. This year he's got this fabulous structure in which to explore a lot of really interesting stories and he knows it and he's absolutely hitting every bell note true.
In the last couple episodes I've had several scenes where I've thought, "I have never seen that moment on television before." And they're subtle, little moments. Complicated little betrayals and vulnerabilities.
Don's backstory turned out to be a little broader and more melodramatic than I expected, but it had a core metaphorical strength for that world. But now everything's playing like Chekhov. Stories turn on a ripped envelope.

And they're subtle, little moments.

Balanced artfully with a subtle hair yank.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

“Not dead yet!”
subtle, crotch-grabbing moments.
What I loved about that moment was that it was such a pure balance of Don behaving in a total alpha male sort of way contrasted by his treating her as an equal, i.e., she insisted on behaving in a typically male fashion, so he responded in a metaphorical, "Yeah? Well, I have you by the balls so you're going to do it my way" manner.
Moments like that are what makes this show sing for me.

I wish I'd seen this episode. I was doing family reunion stuff on Sunday and space out on taping this.

It was a quid pro quo - she grabbed, or rather, groped, him in the car.
