I really liked Leverage this week.
Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
Well, young Master Weiner does creepy well.
Mad Men: What we want and what is expected of us.
Have you noticed how much Don's "on the couch" this season? Even more than usual. Lying there.
He broke his rule by sleeping with his secretary. That was an early boundary he enforced with Peggy.
I'm more intrigued by his neighbor (party girl/nurse) as a partner than the blonde marketing expert.
So humiliating for Lee to force Roger into the Santa suit.
Good to see a glimpse of Trudy with Pete.
Peggy's in such a weird spot historically. So confident with her work, and yet there's really no place for her in the world until the early 70s. If she's not married, she's not anybody.
Freddie's an AA sponsor for their client at Ponds. Interesting dynamic.
What's going to happen with Creepy Glenn? Kind of feels like Welcome to the Dollhouse between him and Sally. And what's going to happen when Betty sees him? They've got such a weird, tangled history.
Narratively this season is so different than last year. They're really applying the screws early on both Don and the firm. They desperately need to land a major new client, and Don's got to re-establish himself with a huge, breakthrough defining campaign. He's got to blow Madison Avenue away.
Other notes: Peggy still dates only assholes.
Don needs to have one of his occasional flashes of decency. Even though they never last long they are part of what helps keep his character interesting.
Does the intro music to Rizzoli&Isles sound like an Irish jig, or am I just drunk?
I think that it's supposed to represent Boston. So, yes to both questions.
Creepy kid on Mad Men is still creepy.
So creepy! He's going to be a serial killer when he grows up.
He broke his rule by sleeping with his secretary. That was an early boundary he enforced with Peggy.
But that was a rule that he established as a married man. He's single now. Although you still shouldn't sleep with your secretary.
Such a sad little scene. She didn't even take her dress off or mess up her hair. All she needed was a little lipstick and she was ready to go.

I don't know. He was fairly typical of his time. He was pushing, but not pressuring.

Perhaps, but it was interesting to see that daddy's little girl could so quickly shift to mommy's tactics.
I don't think that she shifted to mommy's tactics, I don't think that she did anything to encourage him, he did it on her own. However, I think that she may be realizing what she can do if she tries.

Not that he was pushing but how he was pushing. And the whole "How do you feel? Do you feel any different?" He assumed he was a life-changing experience.
Not that he was pushing but how he was pushing.
What do you mean by that?
He assumed he was a life-changing experience.
I don't think that the thought that it was him per se, but that the loss of virginity was a life changing experience. And in that time, it was.
What do you mean by that?
The whole Swedish article thing. Not dickish, but assholehish as in really foolish and pretentious. And the whole assuming she was a virgin thing. Her reaction when he made the assumption earlier indicates she had done nothing to lead him to believe that. And that reaction should have clued him if he had any ability to read body language.
