I pause to have that thought that all the time and I've never dropped acid!

People were constantly being funneled into the camps so it is entirely possible that a pregnant woman would get there and give birth. I actually just read an account of this the other day/week (I study the Holocaust). She gave birth to a boy and one of the women in her block took the baby away from her and she never…

I really like the character of Megan (maybe just bc I identify with her though). I think she's legitimately an interesting character. I give her a lot of points for wanting to be taken seriously as an advertising professional, even though she occasionally undermines it with stuff like Zou Bisou Bisou or whatever. I…

I thought this too at first. Why the fuck would you call a song this. There's already a song called that! I know that people give songs the same names all the time, but the Elliott Smith song is so fantastic, and it's not like HE can say anything about it, so it just seems really unfair.

Me too, but I'm not Irish.

Oh, I did not read far down enough.

I thought you were like 30. Are you old enough to have had a secretary? That IS kind of pathological! I think it would have been better to fire her!

I generally agree with this take on the burn out/fade away dichotomy, but I like Arrested Development so much that I'd like even a less good fifth and sixth season. It's like Buffy. I like Buffy so much that any Buffy is good Buffy. Of course, I really can't talk because I legit love the sixth season (if not the…

Is this an argument for or against Pete's friend?

That's a great point. I totally agree. I think Megan was right that they did have fun.

I don't think this is true. I find him really compelling, but he reminds me of a type. I think he's much more like Don than like a "normal" person, but even more insidious because he seems normal but is really compelling, and Don presents up front as really compelling.

That scene was fantastic.

Couldn't agree more. And also, acting like you're not trying to get anything. If you're trying, you're not going to get it. If you're not trying to get it, other people want to give it to you. The rule of everyone only wanting what they can't have applies to everyone else too, so if they can't get you they're going to…

Agreed. I like the friendly exchanges between Ken and Peggy but I think we were supposed to think maybe it was her.

I guess this is perverse, but to me that scene between Pete and the prostitute was unbelievably hot. "You're my king." "Okay." I didn't know whether I wanted to fuck her or him more.

I found Don's saying "Hello, . . . you!" more implausible/silly than Megan's exclamation, but I thought this little subplot was pretty funny. It happens even to attractive people!

Look at her though! I would have tried too.

This is the opposite of amazing.

Glad you brought this up - I really feel like there is a subtext that Peggy may have been the one to "spill the beans." I really love the scenes between Cosgrove and Peggy, if only because I think Cosgrove's so quintessentially cool and comfortable with himself (the anti-Pete) so he's kind of the ur-example of the…

@ClogginBoydCrowder:disqus Yes, and he complimented her on how classily she suggested it. That was a great exchange. I really disagree with Todd that Don is "having trouble fitting in" or whatever. I think he doesn't care to fit in any of these places and never has cared. And consequently he actually does "fit in,"…
