She did a hesitant double-take before going to bed as her handbag (with the recently purloined $400) was on the coffee table and a black was on her couch.
Awkward.

ow, the covert racism becomes not so convert anymore

In fairness to her she made a show of picking up the empties and left the bag where it was.

Another class episode. With the fever dream I was thinking if he just wakes up from this and it's all okay that'll be shit. Yet somehow in the end it wasn't. Also the cut to Sally underneath the chaise was inexplicably amazing.

Agreed.

Definitely using that line next time I have to excuse myself from dinner because I have to go and take a crap

I am Pete's leaky faucet.

Pete O'phile.

 

[Unicron]

I'm not sure if the viewer was supposed to sympathise with Pete or hate him as much as he obviously hates himself. Glad to see they're copping that the more interesting characters at this point are the people who aren't Don.

thats the point though, is it not? Don is finally getting his shit together while all the others are crumbling (Roger, Pete, Lane)

Not sure its gonna stay all that interesting if Don isn't the one in a mess.

That fight scene was fantastic. And Roger's reaction - 'am I the only one that wants to see this?'.



and fuck spoilers

But it's always been the other characters that have been more interesting. Peggy, Jane and her relationship with her rapey doctor boyfriend/husband, Sal. Don/Dick's back story was what made him interesting, I don't see where else they can go with that now, "present day" Don has always basically been, in a relationship with a blonde but cant' stop fucking brunettes, now he's married a to a brunette and stopped cheating.

amazing. i want to drop acid with roger

 

[hermie]

To me Don is still one of the more interesting characters. I love the way he's, monogamy aside, slowly morphing into Roger. The one thing that does piss me off though is how they continually feel the need to reinforce how cool he is by having other characters tell him such or fawn over him in a far too over the top fashion. It's just lazy. In the past the episodes I disliked the most were the ones that veered too close to a James Bond, male fantasy. In this way a happier Don makes for more interesting viewing for me as the show gets weirder to compensate. Going by this latest episode though this happiness will be fickle. I can't imagine he'll handle his wife's burgeoning feminism all that well. They didn't make up quite so spectacularly this time!

 

[Unicron]

Why has no one posted an animated gif of Peggy whacking that guy off yet?

 

[Jill Hives]

Fair play, Megan.
At first I wasn't sure I really liked her but now I do.
I would have locked him out too.

John Slattery is a beast of an actor. That trip scene was incredibly nuanced.

Where has he been all these years??
