I'm just assuming that Amon has an ulterior motive, I may be mistaken.

Fashion's weird, daring women during the Empire period barely wore anything, then came the Victorians.

Yeah, I was waiting for them to explain why they couldn't just turn them into prisons of twisted metal. Platinum? OK, we'll just move on now.

They were wearing 1920's suits.

Captain of industry secretly supporting a fake populist movement for his own nefarious purposes, sounds familiar. How do they do it every time? Dystopian social satire that is suitable for a Saturday morning children's show. That is an incredible balancing act and I actually think it makes it better, training the next…

Move to correct thread

Ellie - I was going to let this go because you are arguing with the imaginary people in your head and I like to keep things civil, but I'd like to point out that you are the one obsessing about this. Because of this you don't seem to realize that what you wrote illustrates my point:

Cub - That's true and possibly what the writers were going for. I was just goofing, but I think we're on to something :)

Ellie - Do you have any examples of these books and movies that have characters with the same names? I'm seriously asking, I can't think of any. If nothing else it would cause unnecessary confusion.

Now that I think about it, it's interesting to compare the two Margarets who are about the same age.  The spoiled, waspy rich girl who is passed from her father to her husband in a big fancy ceremony, and would probably be horrified to work in an office goes by her full formal name. The Catholic, ethnic, single…

I meant the two Margarets were probably an accident as Sterling was a minor character and didn't have anything to do with Peggy. When you get a chance to name all the characters in your fiction, why would you give two the same name unless there was a reason for it?

mmm… Sippin' ice

Elizabeth has been a popular name for centuries, it's just that you usually don't give to characters the same name unless there's a reason for it like all Johns and Jacks and Charlies and Charles's in Lost.

If he were happy, love-struck Don for a while, without the white-knuckle control, I would love it. Like I said, the scenes with Don that I liked this season are the ones where they are really working on their relationship. I'm all about redemption. The thing is I don't know if he so much lost sight of Megan's…

I just realized that Betty and Beth are both probably named Elizabeth. Deliberate? There are also two characters named Margaret, Peggy and Margaret Sterling. That's probably just losing track.

I really think that people want their marriage to due bad out of some
sense of karmic justice. Don suddenly dropped Faye like a bag of bricks
and got married to a secretary he barely knew.
