Well then, thanks for doing the Wikipedia work that I intended to do, but forgot. Clay came to my mind in that moment as well.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

MI-5 series 6 is coming out on dvd on January 20th.
(BTW, did you guys hear that MI-6 is recruiting via facebook? I think I heard that on the Rachel Maddow show.)

Just saw the latest Mad Men (instead of the debate). Nothing new to add, but I love this show.

yeah, no shit. I hope we don't see him again until he is fully adult.

Me neither.
Oddball episode for me. All about the isolation of everyone. Or maybe about the different facades. Can't decide.
Was that the same actress playing Glen's mom?

She looked different, didn't she? I thought it was just the hair and makeup, but now I'm not sure.
Poor ol' Glenn. He's just going to come back creepier every two years and be a full on psycho menace stalker-rapist by 1968.

“Not dead yet!”
Yeah, this ep left me feeling kind of meh. I felt it was one of the weakest episodes from a writing standpoint. The only reason they brought Glenn back was to ultimately give Betty the one confidante who might have a prayer of understanding. The show's usually more subtle with things like that-- although I will admit to a pang when she confided that the kids were wondering what was suddenly making them more special since Don was taking them out to dinners and such.
And maybe I was just tired, but Pete and Peggy's conversation seemed really bizarre and again, like the only point of it was for Peggy to say, "It's hard for everyone, Pete." I'll have to go back and rewatch.
Kinsey's a pretentious ass. Nothing new there.
And Roger really is a clueless dolt. I get this uneasy feeling that they're setting Joan and Don up for something.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I don't get that feeling from Joan and Don. What I do get is that Joan is going to experience greater tension between work and private life and I think Don might factor into that somewhat.
Peggy accidentally fell into it with Don, maybe Joan will too if she works for him long enough.
Oh, I felt like this ep was disjointed - like they cut some scenes from other episodes and kind of tossed them in here. I am not sure this makes a lot of sense, but that's the feeling I got.

I got that same disjointed feeling. This episode had three writers and for the first time that I can recall, you could really tell there were multiple writers. And like I said, I felt that scenes were written with the obvious purpose of getting us from point A to point B, but without really advancing the story otherwise.
