See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ohhhh, good question. Not one that would have likely come up in a real episode -- I'm pretty sure Lucky Strikes Jr.'s advances were not just manipulative and predatory, but because his gaydar had honed right in on Sal. I don't think he would have been willing to take the risk of trying to sexually extort Pete or any other non-gaydar-pinging SC employee, but oh how I would have loved to see Pete on the receiving end of those advances and what he would have made of them.

Except that I don't think Pete has enough self-awareness or awareness of the reality of other people's experiences to draw any connection between his own misery in that situation and poor Gudrun's with him.

Totally agree with you there that Sal definitely was...targeted. It was just a random possibility that I would have loved to see the outcome of, especially since the guy was a heavy drinker.

I suspect, on my first question, that even if Don hadn't seen Sal in a compromising situation, he would have pinged on what was the what and done THE EXACT SAME THING. Bastard.

Damn. Poor Sal.

in non Mad Men news - Eyes has shown up on On Demand with an ION logo in the corner. I'm pretty sure that b.org is where I'd seen it mentioned before, so a heads up for anyone who has ION, I guess. I'm four episodes in and really enjoying it.

Eyes was an excellent show. Should appeal to any Leverage fans.

Art Crawl!!!

Seriously? Must go do a tivo search for it!

Thanks for the heads up.

SoA - when is the season finale? It feels as though it must be approached. I'm worried about Gemma and Tara - I feel as though even more bad things are about to go down.

Really loved the next to final bit with the contrasting car rides.

I like that we didn't actually see Don's speech.

Also, it's amazing whenever I'm about to write off Don he goes and does something decent.

Very true.

I can't wait to see Betty confronting Don with his past. At least, I hope we see that!

I'm wondering if she might take the money and run.
