So, is Peggy not going to be on anymore? I saw some Q&A with Jared Harris (Lane) and he kind of alluded to it. To this I say AW HAIL NAW!

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

That wouldn't make any sense. Her character is one of their best narrative assets.

Seriously. I've always viewed her as equal in importance to Don in terms of the story they're telling. I thought her leaving was totally in line with the story and character, and that happy grin as she got on the elevator was one of my fave scenes of the season. But DO NOT WANT that character to be gone from the show.

Yeah, I saw that and am hoping he's just mistaken. Because...no.

Well, he said he doesn't know right in the interview. I think he was making a presumption.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I find her consistently torn by conflicting motivations. That look she gave Don when she was walking out the door with Sally so he could work? She's not resigned to giving up her own dreams and her own work quite yet. But she is a born caretaker, so once she's out with Sally she slips into that protective older friend role completely.
Yeah, I think that's right -- it's less that she's inconsistently written (although I haven't analyzed it in any serious way) and more that she's conflicted.
On a much less serious show, I was thinking a similar thing watching all the Necessary Roughness last weekend -- it makes perfect character sense that Terrence flips back and forth between "Help me, I'll be good" and "fuck you, I can do what I want."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anyone here a fan of Rizzoli and Isles? If so, do you like them both? Equally? How did you feel about their rift...well, I guess it's effectively over now..?

Yes, yes. Well, I hope that it's not totally over. I thought that Jane was in the right, but she was an asshole about it. What she should have said is "I'm sorry I shot your father, but I'm not sorry that I shot Patty Doyle"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The actress who plays Peggy (Elizabeth Moss) was filming a movie at the end of MM, so I don't expect to see Peggy again until next season.
Which is about how they handled Roger's heart attacks.

Something for the BBC, right?
