Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"I sound like one of the dwarves from 'Lord of the Rings.'" That was it!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

MM: Oh, Sally! You poor mixed up girl, you!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm about 20 minutes behind in Mad Men, but poor Sally.

Anyone else think that Roger is on self-destruct?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Mad Men:

do you believe that AMC had the nerve, in the middle of the episode, to show an ad for the movie Pearl Harbor that will be airing later this week? I thought this was in extremely poor taste.

More so than he's been all along? Maybe.

Eta: Oh, dear, I FF past the ads and didn't catch that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Nice to see Don on top of his game at work. Henry is so much better for those kids than Betty. Jeez, what a horrible woman. Yes, your daughter acting out after a divorce is to punish you, OF COURSE, because it's all about you.

I loved Illya Kuryakin at that age.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm kind of hoping this is Betty at her nadir, because poor January Jones must cringe every time she gets a script this season.

Poor Sally. Though the new haircut is cute.

Loved it when they went into caper/heist mode again and that shot of Peggy riding around on the Honda was gold.

I loved Illya Kuryakin at that age.

Yeah, I thought that was a good call.

John Slattery looks great in those big dark glasses. Joan dealt with him very well, as usual.

Illya Kuryakin! Being all noble 'n' handsome!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

More proof, as if I needed it, that I am Sally Draper -- Ilya!

(Actually, Sally is three years older than me in 1965, and a bunch of other differences, but it's damn strange to find a child character whom one instinctively identifies, aside from Lisa Simpson.)
