Interesting thought, Sumi. He has been reading all that stuff about giving to your children after all... I really loved Lou yesterday. I think he could be great dad someday.
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

I do, too, askye. I think it's because I really, really like Holly Hunter. And the angel wrestling scene didn't hurt.

I kept watching the commercials with Holly Hunter saying things like "Totally dangerous" and "real" and I'm thinking yeah yeah whatever, but it wasn't over blown advertising.
Besides all the emotional stuff and the storyline the little things are impressing me. Like when Grace was sitting on the couch smoking and the ashes are just falling on her hand. It seems like such a careless realistic thing that I'm not used to seeing on tv.

I really hope the "next week on Rescue Me" were tricking us somehow. I don't know how, though. I can't see Colleen wanting to take care of a baby.

I have a question about Mad Men-- who were the two people kissing? I know they weren't married to each other but I couldn't figure who they actually belonged to.

No, they were married to each other and they were just a couple who were at the birthday party.

I think the point of that couple was to show Draper the kind of marriage he doesn't have.
I'm still really enjoying Mad Men, although it continues to creep me out at times. I'm glad that the divorcee was able to hold her own.
The biggest problem I have with the show so far is trying to understand Peggy. She's such a loosely drawn character. I can't figure out her motivations, etc.

Oh okay. I'm still confused about who people are so I was thinking that instead of seeing a private moment between a loving couple he saw cheating spouses. And coming on the heels of the other guy hitting on the divorcee I was thinking it was his wife and another husband.

My mom NEVER had the right wrapping paper...oh, ever. We'd be shunned out of the Mad Men -verse.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, askye, I thought the same thing at first. But I think we're just seeing him thinking of his oh-so-sweet-and-wrong kiss. He's thinking about his own infidelity.
I am finding the show interesting, but I'm not sure I'll hang with it ultimately. It's tough to watch the casual sexism and racism. I want to see it tempered with humanity at some point. It makes me wonder what we're doing and not seeing now, in our own little period piece.
