Yeah, Scrappy, it does seem that Don suffers from having to be The Man all the time. And it's heartbreakingly easy for him to be a total fake because nobody's supposed to get close to him anyway... or is that too "Behind Blue Eyes?"
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
My take on that, le nubian, was that I think people in that era thought the pill was infallible, so the pregnancy might have seemed inconceivable (no pun intended - ok, maybe a little) to Peggy. That with a heavy dose of denial, and a ton of conflicting feelings about Pete, makes it a twist I can deal with.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Franken,
yes, I think that was what we were to conclude as an audience, but I'm still not very happy with that.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
And yet, there are documented cases in real life of that happening. You may not be happy with it, but it's not unrealistic.

but it's not unrealistic.
Not at all.
I knew one girl (of 18) who didn't realize she was pregnant until she was 6 months or so along and her command forced her to go to the dispensary and get a pregnancy test. All because her boyfriend told her she couldn't get pregnant if they only screwed during the week (or the weekend, something ridiculous like that.) Now, we're talking someone raised in rural Alabama during the 70s when you can believe there was no sex education in schools and kids only knew what they heard from their peers. And they heard very strange things. I can only imagine what it was like in the late 50s, early 60s.
ETA: whitefont for questor as this post could give an idea of what has been whitefonted so far.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The thread is NAFDA -- all the MM discussion lately has been of last season, but thanks for clarifying/reminding since season 2 starts EEEEEE!!!! this weekend.
It's in the homepage slug but not the header -- gimme a sec to edit.
(eta: done)

Yes, it's NAFDA.
BTW, I kind of watched the Cleaner last night. I wasn't going to bother despite Benjamin Bratt but Grace Park is also a regular. So - Kevin Alejandro AND Alona Tal were guests on last night's show.
(Kevin Alejandro was a guest on Burn Notice last week. I wonder what other shows he's going to appear on in the next few weeks.)

Vortex, we're talking last season, which should be fair game. But we were trying not to spoil quester (who needs a little spoiling, but not that kind), who just started getting caught up on season one.
