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.
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.
I loved Fritz's proposal too! Personally living with Brenda would drive me nuts, but he obviously loves her and gets her. I was worried when the guy shocked Brenda that this was going to be a cliffhanger or something, but then she shot him. At first I was confused about why she had the tape recorder out, but of course she's going to want a confession from this guy!
Saving Grace -- I like Perry, Grace's new boss. I was worried they were going to set up an antogonistic relationship between Grace and the new boss, and I was surprised when they were friends and the catch up gossip. Plus Perry's reaction to whathisname that Grace is sleeping with was more about his football loyalties than anything else.
My favorite line: Girl, you used to have standards! No taste, but standards! (which I am totally going to use on one of my friends.
