Rubicon: Scary! I love when a show finds the answer just in the nick of time...except it doesn't. And bad things ensue. It's so much more believable.
Mad Men: Today's episode really moved. I loved loved that moment in the office between Don & Peggy. And I love that she was right, and that Don acted on it, even if he acted unilaterally.
Stuff with Faye is really bad. And she's right that he didn't think about her, when she, confronted with the same balance of work/love chose Don. Do you think she knows about Megan? But I like that she feels like they can be out in the open now. Don will have to make the choice.
Betty is so vindictive! Poor Sally. And I wish Betty'd been able to take the psychiatrist's advice and see one for herself, but I understand why she can't.
That "have your girl make a reservation" sounded loaded.
Is it wrong that I am more worried about Kale than the nation's oil supply on Rubicon?
Ooh, do you think the evil band of behind the scenes profit makers who were childhood friends will band together to take out Truxton, Julius Caesar style?
Mad Men: Is there a reason why Sally wouldn't like the number 7?
Poor, Midge! I was excited to see the actress's name in the credits and now she's a junkie.
Not that I recall in the show's history; personal oddity is what I chalked it up to. I was proud of her for not smoking when it was offered.
John Slattery directed. He has terrific visual style.
How horrible a fate for Midge.
Oh, yeah, I was upset about Midge. I really liked her and I was sorry to see where she was.
I really liked her and I was sorry to see where she was.
At least her painting meant something to him. And the gesture he made by buying it, along with covering Pete's partner responsibility were both - in a way - about acknowledging personal debts.
He knows that Pete's been working very hard to bring in business, and Pete took the hit when they had to give up that account. Pete took the full brunt of Roger's blow-up and didn't expose Don.
In an odd way the show is always exploring notions of loyalty.

No. I am in your camp.
MM: I have a negative feeling about Faye because she didn't accept Peggy's offer for a drink. We don't really see Peggy reach out the way she's done and Faye kind of shot her down. Why do you think that was?
Le nubian, I was wondering if despite what Faye said to Don about taking their relationship public, she didn't want to tell Peggy that she had dinner plans with Don.
But then why didn't she just say: I have plans tonight, but what about next week?
