I loved how Betty played the shrink. Really excellent.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Poor Peggy. She'll put the baby up for adoption and be haunted by it.
Yeah, that was an awesome play by Betty. Also loved her scene with Glen. Poor little fucked up pre-teen pervert.
I like the new guy but I want Roger back.

And Betty was also passing along a message to Don. . . assuming that the shrink tells him what she said, the way she said it.
BTW, Maggie Siff (Rachel Mencken) was on GA this week.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, very clearly -- hence the "playing".

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, so I really enjoyed the whole "Mad Men" ep last night, but the thing that really really bothered me is that Peggy didn't know she was pregnant. I think the reveal to the viewers could have been done differently. How the fuck didn't she know for nine freaking months? She mistook labor pains for a bad sandwich?
That whole thing didn't sit right with me.

But that happens, right?
I mean, it hits the news about some teenager who didn't realize that she was pregnant.
And really, I'm sure that Peggy thought that having started the pill she was protected so she couldn't possibly be pregnant.

People still think that. It takes a month, of course.

sumi,
I guess I can see a teenager, but Peggy is not a young teenager. It just seems ludicrous to me that she wouldn't feel the baby KICK and dismiss it as...what?

I bought the pregnancy storyline, but I'm not sure they made it clear that she didn't suspect it at all. Not that they gave much indication that she did suspect something, but she was looking at her weight gain in the mirror in one scene and there was enough ambiguity that just maybe something was running through her head.
Or not. Fact is, people have been know to give birth on toilets totally unaware that they were pregnant.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Someone I work with didn't figure out she was pregnant until she was four months along--and she was TRYING to have a baby! And I have known people to be in denial longer than that.
