Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Mad Men: It was weird to see him as the priest. A recurring character?

Would Peggy's sister have known who she was talking to in the confessional? Was it because he was supposed to be only visiting that she chose to unburden herself to him? What will it mean to Peggy to have somebody outside the family know about her? Will she start to acknowledge the baby?

It was interesting to see more about Peggy's basic aloneness. Eating with the boys, but not ever able to be one of them. Participating in family life, but fundamentally separated from them.

What do you think about Betty's family discipline?

She probably comes from a home where her father did all of the disciplining of the children, so all she knows how to do is say 'wait 'till your father gets home"

Who was the actor? Someone known, I take it?

Nebber mind, I found him. People know him from Roswell, I presume?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I do, anyway. Ah, Roswell.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I felt a little bad for Peggy at the end. I was hoping that she'd find someone to talk to, to bond with, and her sister's confession nipped that in the bud. I wonder if it was deliberate-- Did she really confess that because she needed to confess? Or did she do it because she knew that him knowing about Peggy would ruin any kind of friendship they could have? She's clearly jealous of Peggy because her mother has forgiven her and that the priest was showing her some special attention, but is she really petty enough to confess deliberately (however true the confession may have been)

Also, I keep seeing adds for the shoe "Raising the Bar" I would normally give it a shot, but the hair on Mark Paul Gosse-whatever is just too dreadful

Pointed out on another forum: the same person has been the costume designer for both Mad Men and Deadwood. Jesus, what an eye!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

but is she really petty enough to confess deliberately

I thought so. A deliberately malicious act by her sister. Petty and resentful. Or maybe not so petty if she's raising Peggy's daughter, but definitely mean and resentful.

They're getting pretty close to making Betty completely unlikeable. I wonder how they'll deal with that by season's end. Or if they will.
