Yep-- totally BVM. Supplication and all.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, I meant to have pasted this one instead:
Twoppers are calling the Popsicle mom something like "Our Lady of the Popsicle."
Same gist, tho.

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

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I wonder if she and Kurtwood Smith ever messed up a kid together. Fictionally, at least.
I don't think they ever did, but I wish they had. That's genius casting.
she's built up such a string of performances as everyone's unapproachable mother...Marlee Matlin, Holly Hunter, and a few others besides iirc. (And wasn't she the mom in "Carrie," too?)
Yep - that was her big comeback role. She's also been the unapproachable mother of Aria Argento (in her first lead role, though it's a lesser Dario A. movie).
And, of course, Twin Peaks!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
but the bit about the Popsicle mom looking like a priest handing out Communion certainly could be plausible.
What Jesse said. It was WAY more than plausible.
Anna is such an interesting character but I wanted to bop Matt Weiner over the head with the 2x4 symbolism at the end.
Which symbolism? Do you mean Don in the ocean also doing the BVM thing?

Yeah, and the whole baptism imagery.

I think I like the ocean so much and I would love for Don to be happy (and am also a Christian) that I didn't mind the obviousness this time. Rebirth! Rebirth!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I didn't mind the imagery because I think Don was consciously making that gesture. Not the BVM hands, which I think is how you'd normally go into the waves to keep your balance, but just baptism and renewal.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It just occurred to me yesterday - Jane is younger than Roger's daughter, Margaret, isn't she? Right around the same age, anyway. Margaret who won't set a date - will dad getting engaged make her more or less likely to get married, I wonder.
Betty looked pretty competent forging Don's signature. I don't really get that whole business with Arthur and whats-her-name, why Betty took the role she did.
I was really hoping that Joan's gaze on the lighter or pencil sharpener or whatever it was foreshadowing her smashing it onto Dr. Fiance's head. That "he's a keeper" from Peggy must've been painful, but it's what she's telling herself, too.
Don getting his cards read and wading in the ocean and introducing himself as "Dick" to the hot rodders, wow! I don't even know what I want him to do.

Always Anti-fascist!
That made me think of my mom, actually. One of the things she picked up in mortgage is a talent for forgery. It's good that she's honest.
