I actually disliked the Fed guy a lot. He seemed to be having too much fun with screwing with Michael. I mean, he was a huge asshole with the security guard thing.

I hated him too, but that last line that won me back. It was like despite the way he jerked Michael around, he truly respected Michael for besting him. Once he was out of the game, he was all - give 'em hell, Mikey.

Huh. I didn't read it that way at all -- I saw it as more bitter, like, okay asshole, you fucked with me, but this is going to fuck you over more, and I'm quite happy about that.

Rescue Me: I am very afraid of heights, so as soon as Tommy sat on the ledge, I started tensing up. When he put the bottle down and jumped? I totally believed it.

And then to be hanging there -- yikes!

Also: Wyatt or Elvis? Are they kidding. Although, Wyatt is certainly better than Elvis.

Oops - sorry about that - impatient poster + slow connecton = doubleposting madness.

I did not believe the jumping at all. Sure it's easy to throw in a suicide attempt for someone whose life is as fucked up as Tommy's. But there was very little support for it this season. His character has been uneven this season - not in an interesting way, but in a poorly written way.

First he's pussified, then supposedly he gets his balls back, but he's still being pushed around by pretty much everyone. Then suddenly when he's playing for NYPD he's kicking ass at hockey again. He lets the nameless woman treat him like shit, is still phoning it in at the intervention (although the rest of that scene was pretty good), and finally starts drinking and smoking again because of Probie's depression?

Very little of what happened last night with Tommy resonated as true with me.

Mad Men - How amazing was last night? I don't know who's creepier now, VK's character or the divorcee's son. It might be a toss-up.

I agree!

And I'm a sucker but I had this fear that Don was going to shoot Adam -- I was completely surprised when he pulled that stash of money out of the briefcase. And it is interesting that he keeps a $5,000.00 stash in his desk at home -- is that the Depression-era distrust of banks coming into play?

I'm loving Mad Men, but I am kind of disappointed that they have made the divorcee's son a psycho, even if it is interesting to watch. I haven't seen this weeks episode yet though, but last week it seemed that they were trying to set it up as all the mother's fault. At least through Draper's wife's eyes.

Well, we don't have to believe what Mrs. Draper believes. (Do we know her first name?)
