Ditto!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought Don's pitch was better.

Joan Crawford and Marilyn Monroe were both pretty avid joggers.

I lost 40 pounds a few years ago by counting calories. No exercise, just cutting out the enormous desserts I was having very night and the continuous snacking throughout the day.

God, yes, THANK YOU. Very few things make me more angry/upset than "Real Women Have Curves." Um, what about those of us who are naturally more straight-up-and-down, who don't have small waists (as far as waist-hip ratios go) but DO have small breasts and hips? Thanks for saying I'm not a real woman, you know? Funny,

I do beef stews with beer, too! :-) I do my pot roasts in beer, and of course steak pie filling always braises in beer. I personally always use stout; I prefer Murphy's Irish Stout, but of course Guinness is just fine.

I've only read about half of the comments—I'm in the UK, so we don't get the new episodes until Tuesday night when much of the discussion has already occurred—but I'm curious as to why I'm seeing a lot of discussion about the Plath poem (and how it refers to suicide) but no mentions yet of the story to which the poem

I assumed it was a line reading, actually, like she's going to go to an audition and wanted feedback.

I actually don't think he turned it off out of a "What is this crap?" sort of reaction. I think he turned it off because he was home alone—abandoned by his wife both at work and at home—and it was too "her," too much what she liked. She wanted to share it with him, supposedly, but wasn't sticking around to do so.

Oh, I hadn't thought of that. I hope it doesn't happen; not only would it just be a bad situation, it feels so obvious.

Nope. I am, too. Which is funny because I dislike Betty intensely. But at least she's not Megan; at least it means something new in the mix.

Me too. Having never watched Gilmore Girls, I'm surprised at all the hate; I thought the oh-wow-she's-pretty actress did a good job, and then came here and saw all the anger.

If Betty finds out Megan let Glen Bishop anywhere near Sally, she's going to slice her face open with her Bugle-tipped fingers.

I make bourgignon for Christmas every year, in addition to a few times throughout. It's one of my dinner-party dishes.

She tells her psychiatrist in season 1 or 2 that she got pregnant shortly after being married, and that seems to be when she gave it up (I can't remember exactly what she said, but that's the impression I got).

How, in an episode called "Lady Lazarus," with a ton of death metaphors, would you not immediately think of the song that contains the repeated lyric "It is not dying?"

I was honestly shocked at the callousness displayed by Megan in consistently borrowing money from Ginsberg and not paying it back. Her husband is wealthy, one of the partners in the firm, and she makes her own money, too; it's amazingly careless of her not to think of paying him back, and even to ask him to loan her

Well, we're pretty sure there's zero chance of them producing a better album at this stage in the game.

Yeah, I like her, but I haven't spent four years now with Don, Peggy, Joan, etc. because I'm dying to spend every episode watching Megan do stuff. She's fine in small doses, but I want to see the characters who are the reasons I watch; if the show had been this Megan-centric from the beginning I'm not sure I would

Yeah, I admit that I—rather bitchily—thought, "No, she's not leaving SCDP to become a full-time actress, she's leaving to become a housewife who goes on auditions."
