Why does it make you sad when brilliant movies are remade? I've never understood this mentality. The original movie you love doesn't disappear just because someone made a crappy remake. In fact, you don't even have to ever watch the crappy remake. There's literally no reason why the crappy remake should upset you at

An 18 month old doesn't understand any of the things in this article. He just was scared that a stranger was standing too close to him.

How many knots are you going to twist yourself into to avoid acknowledging that a character is gay?

Whoa, totally missed that.

It's not a throwaway. It's a story line. Just not the crazy spy/government agent/Don's son story line we were hoping for.

Ted and Tobias would make good friends.

No, Bob dropped the grin entirely. Then Pete said "It's disgusting", and Bob took a beat, then plastered on the fake smile and turned to walk out. As soon as his back was turned to Pete, the smile faded again.

Holy crap. They didn't bump knees. Bob deliberately touched his leg to Pete's while talking about love and deliberately leaving out pronouns. I'm not sure how it could be made any more clear without Bob literally drawing a picture.

I sure hope you're the only one.

I think people are fucking with themselves. There's no "there" there. This "Bob Benson Mystery" stuff is simply the product the internet and shows like Lost.

WTF? Great, so Weiner is another straight man who can't write gay characters.

Please explain how coming onto your straight boss in 1968 would help you get ahead in your place of business.

There's nothing to explain. The internets decided Bob had some crazy backstory. He's just gay. That's it. That's why he comes off as a phony, because his whole life is a lie. He's also a suck-up, which probably is just a part of his personality and has little to nothing to do with being gay.

Cipher, all the way. Bob's done nothing to make us suspicious other than to have been on camera a lot this year.

I'm sorry, but's it's complete nonsense to assume that Don would be driven to such extreme behavior because Sally has a crush on a boy.

He was put on Chevy before he just outed himself to a partner. Pete can have him fired at any time, and even if he doesn't do that, he certainly can make sure Bob will never excel in the agency. The idea that Bob is pretending to be gay as some sort of plot to move up is nonsensical.

Yes, straight people declare themselves straight in their professional lives, pretty much every day. They talk about their spouses, boy/girl friends, celebrity crushes, co-worker crushes, etc. Every single day. 
I think the chances that Bob is a comfortable, well-adjusted openly gay man with a live-in partner that his

He's gay. There's nothing to be gained by coming onto Pete. If Pete had accepted his offer, how would be then be able to entrap/blackmail him without also outing himself?

I think in 1968 a bisexual male would just be straight, for all intents and purposes. Only extreme sexual loneliness would cause Bob to make such a risky move like that.

As horrible as Don sometimes is, sending a boy to his death because Sally has a crush on him would be pure evil and also pretty nonsensical.
