Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Thrive to spite them

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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.

Now I'm thinking that the fate of the guy in the opening title sequence is Dan's fate. Or at least metaphorically because we start with him at the top of his game and immediately start seeing all the different ways in which he's really not.

The Closer - I don't like it when Brenda is in danger. I loved that she was upset that the guy was dead and she didn't get his confession. Plus, I enjoyed Fritz proposing at the doctor's office.

I loved that she pulled out her tape recorder and tried to get the guy's confession.
