    I've never disliked Megan for her acting, I just find her gummy smile distracting. She also has a flat butt but we don't see that all too often so whatever LOL. Seriously though, people hate on her acting? It's kind of hilarious then that her character is an actress.

    On the bus there was a sudden jolt, her top button comes undone, and you see a large part of the teacher's right breast, it virtual pops out (and so do Betty's eyes but she remains socially civil at that moment). Then she walks away to the front of the bus and you get a full side boob. Right after that was when Betty

    I know everyone loves to hate on Betty but "And the only time she smiles, in the whole episode, is when she and the other mom have a bitchy moment about how the teacher isn’t wearing a bra." That's completely untrue. Betty smiles in almost every scene she's in this episode! Several times while with Francine, when she

    Saw that too, the only weird thing is that Don had the Time Magazine with Eisenhower on the cover, which came out Friday, April 4th. Typically magazines do come out, especially to subscription holders, before the stated date but 5 days before seems a bit much for a weekly magazine. Well, we know it's a Monday for sure

    Small detail that was interesting: Dawn asks Don if he'd like chicken salad on rye and a Nesbitt's—his usual, I suppose. I didn't know what a Nesbitt's was so I looked it up: apparently it's an orange soda drink. The funny thing is that Wikipedia (source of all that is true and accurate) states that it was losing

    I liked how the phone number had letters in it. Hahaha.

    The Time Magazine Don was skimming through also dates this episode, it has Eisenhower on the cover and came out April 4, 1969. There was no one else in the room/shot and all we see is Don reading the magazine for ~6 seconds, so our attention was meant to catch that. An ad agency would certainly have the most up to

    Reading the A.V. Club review after watching Mad Men is one of the best aspects of watching the series. The review is always so insightful, well-written, and thorough and it allows me to enjoy the show even more because it adds depth. This format though, it was a huge let down. I didn't really get anything new from the

    I'm pretty tired of the whole "country bumpkin, meek little girl" Scarlett storyline. Skipping towards her uncle like she's 12, running off stage, slamming doors and yelling at people when things go wrong, not being able to handle being on tour with an ex. Gees, she's in her 20s, not a preteen. Then suddenly, she

    I did not see the last second twist at the end of the episode coming! What??? Hahaha oh Nashville.

    I guess I'm alone in thinking that Connie Britton's hair game is not on par with last season's. Don't get me wrong, it's still better than most of the population but it's nowhere near season one and "American Horror Story" peak hair.

    How did I not notice the red-headed Drew Barrymore before?! Seriously, when I saw her this episode I really wondered how I had no recollection of her at all in the past two episodes. 

    Well when most people think of Betty and Megan they speak much more favorably of Megan—stands up to Don, has her own career, etc. They may not love Megan, but they definitely hold her in higher regard than Betty. In fact, when Megan does something not so great they'll say she's acting like Betty so Betty is the

    I also wanted the Avon success to be played out on screen. All the other characters got their stories fleshed out (even Pete's mother's death of being lost at sea had several scenes) and yet there couldn't have been a moment where acquiring Avon was briefly mentioned? The partners had always been keeping verbal tally

    I would like to see more of Betty next season. I think her character gets very little credit. Going against the grain, I actually don't care too much for Megan's character or at least not for what the show is giving us of her.

    Well Stan is single, so you know, that helps.

    Believable? Sure. Low? Absolutely. If Peggy had known about Don's affair with Sylvia she would have thought Don and Sylvia were both disgusting and felt bad for Megan. Here she feels annoyance towards Ted's wife and anger/pity for the situation that has "happened" to her. Well, it didn't happen, she can blame Ted for

    Yeah, when Peggy was annoyed by the look Ted's wife "intentionally" gave her (there was no evil look, total misperception) it was pretty absurd. She accuses Ted of parading his family and it peeves her instead of, oh I don't know, reminding her she's playing with a married man with a family! Instead of putting a stop

    So what? That doesn't mean she can't move again! When she moved she lateraled into a company so similar to SCDP that everyone knew each other and easily (business-wise at least) merged. Bottom line: there are always options, thinking otherwise is an illusion.

    You play with fire, you get burned.
