And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Trudy's preggo bump is ridiculously TV-esque. January Jones did a better job with the posture.

I'm curious - were pregnant women in the 60's warned against gaining weight? I'd love for there to be a reason Peggy's the only one on the show who ate for two other than the obvious plot device.

It could have been a step toward intimacy, and it is the first person that he told that he didn't immediately have to tell, but I agree he doesn't want to be that vulnerable.

I think the death knell wasn't his telling her so much as her "Don't you worry - I'll fix it" reaction. Don doesn't want a lover who takes care of him. He's too much of an alpha male for that.

Anyone else think Roger is overdue for another heart attack?

Anyone else think Roger is overdue for another heart attack?

He was scrabbling for his nitro pills after Lee Dickwad's announcement.

But of course, he was Quentin Travers

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Quentin Travers is the guy who shot himself on Rubicon, right?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yep.

Not quite sure where to post this - David Simon (The Wire, Treme) awarded MacArthur "genius" grant.

It's been getting discussed in Natter, but premium cable would be the most appropriate TV thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mr. Simon transcends cable. I'm not surprised he came up in Natter.

Always Anti-fascist!

He would like that, ita. Probably a bit too much. (although I was a little shocked to read some "Aw, shucks," or, you know, what passes for "Aw, shucks," in the City that Bleeds, from him this morning...that's not usually how he rolls. To put it mildly.)

At first, I so enjoyed Lane and his father being TERRIBLY British with his jungle fever.

And then, holy shit, Lane's dad went medieval.

Big props to Jon Hamm for the great anxiety attack performance, by the way. Really powerful.

yes, but they are a little too realistic with their vomiting.

Pete was over a barrel, but I was surprised he took the whole failure on his own shoulders.

He knows that the fortune of SCDP rests very much on Don, and even if they could survive him leaving, they couldn't survive the scandal

Straw poll: how many people think Joan didn't have the abortion?

It didn't occur to me that she hadn't.

That's how I viewed that last shot of his glance at Megan.

me, too. But, I think that he's smarter than to have sex with her, I think it just symbolized him moving on.

I'm curious - were pregnant women in the 60's warned against gaining weight?

well, they sure weren't warning against drinking and smoking. Loved Joan having a cigarette and a bloody mary with Roger.
