And am I the only one who noticed that in the darkened room, Lane's one night paramour sort of bore a striking resemblance to Peggy?

I thought so, too, but that might have been to create ambiguity in the promos.

I love how whole and relaxed Don is with Anna. And I am so sorry she won't be there for him (or he for her) any more.

He really should have married her!

Nah, if he'd married her he'd have cheated on her.

You're right, of course. Damn Don!

Too funny the other prostitute saying she loved "House of the Rising Son" (a song about a woman ruined by prostitution).

That was a heartbreaking episode. Don's one safe haven gone. It's interesting how last season ended on such a note of triumph and renewal and the story so far has been of Don being down so low. It's smart because it lets them build to a more hopeful arc again. At least I hope so.

Who is Don Draper going to be now that he can't be Dick Whitman with Anna?

But good on him and Lane. Godzilla was such a genius choice.

Really just a tight focus on Don, Lane and Joan in this episode. No Betty, Peggy, Pete, Roger etc, except for a line or two.

Nice to see Joan having something good with Dr. Rapist. Who is not going to be just a two dimensional creep.

He really should have married her!

Anna would never have him. She knows him too damned well on all levels. Which is, perversely, why she's always been so perfect for him. It really is the most tragic of love stories.

I wanted someone to make a snarky comment about Eliot knowing the sounds of different types of guns.

It's a very distinctive sound!

I liked last night's ep but Comcast is making it very hard for me. Recorded the wrong version and, I swear, they don't want me to watch this show. So I need a rewatch. Either OnDemand or when the HD re-airs, whichever I find first.

Loved Skerrit and how really unlikable he was.

And then I waved hi at the train station. Because they tend to hide Portland pretty well but it's a very distinctive train station.

I think Eliot "I'm Gonna Punch Somebody" Spencer is the least fucked-up of the whole crew.

I don't think Hardison is fucked up at all. Wacky and nerdy, but not fucked up. Eliot has some anger issues.

I watch The Closer out of reflex. But I find I don't much like the lead character. The rest of the cast is good though--however they're right crap on female representation.

Yeah. The Closer is popcorn. Sometimes I think the character is canonically supposed to be appalling. But I think that is my reading: I think the show thinks she is great cause she gets the bad guys. I think the old mad magazine joke about Colombo applies to her, where 90% of the people Colombo put in jail were innocent people who confessed because they just couldn't take his nagging any more. Like Colombo she is charming, though in a less schlumpy way. Unlike Colombo her character is unlikeable.
