I got to point that out to JZ and she's the biggest MSCL fan ever.

Yeah, but I was already thinking "Oh, it's her! Who her? I'll remember in a minute," when you threw me off by saying, "Isn't that Mary Hurt? The girl's mom on My So-Called Life?" So I spent the next few minutes puzzling over whether you meant Mary Kay Place and I'd just missed a bunch of surgeries and weight losses and trying to find Sharon's mom's face in hers.

Don chasing Megan through their apartment was just harrowing to watch--they were both so furious and panicked and totally beyond all control.

Wasn't Bess Armstrong in the mini-series Lace?

Man, I fucking loved "Lace." Trashy and delicious.

I loved the book better. Pure popcorn, but with lots of delicious period detail.

Yeah, I can't see how anyone could possibly see that as not violent. It was scary.

It felt more desperate to me than violent--but, of course, desperation can lead to violence. I thought the Roger/Jane scenes were wonderfully surprising (who thought their marriage would end because of intimacy instead of more fighting?) and beautifully written and acted.

I concur. That was one of the scenes I had in mind when I said Mad Men gives me scenes I've never seen before.

Roger was surprisingly mature about the whole thing.

I think, for once, they were on the same page.

I'm not so sure Jane is going to be mature about it. She was pretty upset that he remembered it all so clearly. She had obviously been thinking about it or it wouldn't have come out under the influence, but her last remark about how expensive it was going to be and her turning away from Roger on that made me think she is going to make it more difficult.
