I was thinking that if Roger dies this season, at least we can hope that Slattery won't be completely out of a job, because he will still have a gig on this show as a director. I thought he did a very good job with this episode.

I hadn't watched the episode since it aired, so I had forgotten that she said she had a boyfriend, and that she was crying about it later. I guess it seems less ambiguous now that I hear the details.

I mentioned this downthread. Pete HATES Roger. I don't see him as someone that would confide in Roger about anything, even to screw over a rival.

I think Pete is very progressive because he hates the idea of being a useless old man with backwards ideas and out of date skills, which is how he sees Roger and saw his father. I think this rebellious streak does fit in with his character. He's got that sense of superiority he holds over everyone, and viewing…

I don't really think there is an easy answer to this question. If it were real life, it'd probably be one of those situations where I'd ask the babysitter what she felt happened to her, and then respect whatever she called it.

I agree that it is more in Pete's character, but why would he tell Roger? He seems to hate Roger a lot more than he hates Ken, so I can't really picture Pete confiding in Roger about it. Who knows. Maybe it was actually Don or Megan that told.

I like Megan more and more, every episode. I did not see that coming after last season's finale. Also, I wonder if the episode was setting up a twist where it is revealed that Peggy, not Pete, told Roger about Ken's extra curricular writing. Betrayal does not seem like Peggy's thing, and I don't know why she would…

My Dad died suddenly at a relatively young age (early 50s), so I think that took care of any delusions I might have had. Weirdly, I don't picture myself dying of a heart attack like him. I picture myself dying of Lou Gehrig's disease/ALS. I have no idea why.

It's not that the people I know who are on these fad diets are preachy about it. I'm not friends with too many super self righteous people. It's that they can't shut up about it. I get that they're excited about this new thing that makes them feel good and want to share, but if there is anything more boring than…

Sadly, missionary beat out many other positions that are more conducive to orgasms (for most women, I think). I'd still choose sex, but a brownie vs. orgasm-less sex might be a tough call.

I think it's makeup because even in photos of her late in pregnancy her face doesn't look like that.

I would have felt weird posting about mine because then I would have gotten a bunch of condolence messages that I wouldn't have felt I really deserved, because I wasn't THAT sad. I mean, I was disappointed, but this wasn't something that sent me into a spiraling depression or anything. I wouldn't want people to…

So did I!! Except I was picturing her in Jurassic Park 2. Running from bloodthirsty kids/running from bloodthirsty raptors, same diff.

I think she didn't want to marry Roger because he was married to someone else at the time. I think she would have married one of the ad men under the right circumstances. The fact that she also dated Kinsey indicated to me that she may have been doing a little husband shopping at the office, just like all of the…

I don't really see Joan as being particularly ambitious though, either. A hard worker, yes. But until recently, her greatest ambition was to be a wife (even if deep down, she knew it wasn't what made her happy). It seemed like Megan is playing the game that all the secretaries, including Joan, have played…

I like her too, and posted about it in the Mad Men open thread. She actually seems happy, which I find charming. Nice break from seeing the rest of the cast wallowing in misery, bitterness, and feelings of entitlement.

I can see I may be in the minority, but I think Megan, in one episode, just became the most likable character on the show. She's completely right about everybody at SCDP - they're all so sour and miserable, determined to suck all the joy out of everything, and to scoff at anything earnest. Megan's willing to embrace…

I was never a huge Roger fan as it was - he was such a dick to Joan, his wife, and clearly, his new wife. But it seems like the writers are going above and beyond to make me truly loathe him.

Seemed like he didn't want to trust it with the cab driver, racism and all.

I've been calling missionary sex "gorilla style" ever since this story:
