You'll have to believe me that I'll forget this.
Which we now know was a callback to his motivational speech to her in the hospital.
Dear Mad Men Writers, I love you and would like to have your babies. Love, Jess
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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Heh. I was just rewatching Pushing Daisies last week with Emmett and am reminded of Chuck's line: "What are you talking about? You love secrets. You want to marry secrets and have half-human, half secret babies."

Unsurprisingly, I also love this line.

Huh. The actress that plays Bobbie was Jim Gordon's wife in The Dark Knight.
The new secretary, Jane Siegel, is played by Peyton List. I recognized her but can't place her from her IMDB listings (which include roles on One Tree Hill, Smallville and a bunch of soaps).

“Not dead yet!”
That scene where Pete ordered Trudy back was exactly what prompted that description.
And this is one of those things that I was musing on, earlier today-- I never got the sense of Pete being completely convincing in the authoritarian role. It's almost as if he and more peripherally, Trudy, are playacting at what they think their roles should be. Whereas Don is very much comfortable in his skin as an authority figure-- he falls into the role of command very naturally, which is why it's interesting to see his control and power (at least, the veneer of it) gradually slipping away. (i.e. the accident, the salt, just off the top of my head.)

I think that's right, tho Pete really is an ass. He ain't playacting that.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, Pete's assiness is genuine -- no doubt there.
I haven't watched the ep yet (and I CAN'T WAIT. STOOPID WORK.), but all this talk of Pete and authority keeps making me think of his hunting fantasy last year. It was creepy and bloody, yes, but it was creepy bloody kids' make-believe.

Pete's choice of stroke magazine was also creepy. A men's magazine with a woman strung up in a torture/bondage scenario common to that kind of mag.
eta: Hmm, some blog comment says it was a cover story on Pearl Harbor. Still, an odd choice for sperm donation.
They really need to clarify the situation with Peggy's baby and Anita.
Did Anita also have a baby? Are there two kids? Was Anita faking the pregnancy to cover for Peggy? Did Anita's baby die and there's just one baby? Wha?
