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

Megan could be there....or not.

I just don't think there's any way after that shot of Don walking away from her commercial. That's kind of like the end scene of The Searchers where Ethan's character is framed in the doorway and then he walks away. The visual in that shot (and composition/framing/blocking is often The Truth on this show) is that Don is leaving her. And the ambiguity of that last scene in the bar underscores that.

Did everybody recognize that the movie Don and Peggy were watching was Casino Royale? And that the last song was the theme from You Only Live Twice, a different Bond film? Two different James Bonds, two completely different takes on that character, one of them a sendup of that idealized notion of masculinity.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So Tom & Lorenzo read Don's expression as seeing Megan as someone who could be a star based on her looks (but that he does not know how she does in terms of acting with her voice). I am not sure what to conclude about Don watching Megan on screen.

Megan at times seemed as petulant as Betty, but she certainly seems a bit more ruthless - which is probably good for an actress to be!

I see Hec's points though: Don was at a crossroads, trying to decide whether to help her (and her career) actively which likely means she will leave at some point, or have what he had in Betty, someone chained to him.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

When Don was married to Betty did he convince someone not to give Betty a modeling job or am I misremembering.

Trust my rage

I bought they offered the job to Betty to get Don to come to their firm. When he said no, they fired Betty

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

everyone in it was depressed, so there's that, but ugh.

Well, Roger didn't seem too depressed at the end.

I adored the scene between Don and Peggy! So glad we saw them together for at least a little while.

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

I'm not the target demo, but I watched Bunheads. I've missed AS-P; I LOLed. Then I got to the ending: WTFF? Seriously!?

Because books.

I'm just watching now -- Michelle is very Lorelei-lite, isn't she?

I told the Faux-Tivo to record Bunheads.

Always Anti-fascist!

I sort of liked "Longmire" but it sort of just made me miss Justified. Which is not really its fault...it's competently made and everything...I just like the weirder, morally confusing...I don't know, "Harlanverse"?

Art Crawl!!!

I forgot to record Bunheads! (Actually, I thought I'd set up a recording - apparently I was wrong.)

Anyway, it's repeating tonight.

I liked the 2nd episode of Longmire better than the first.
