Hey, that does make more sense. Maybe because that's how I looked at it at 12: I did NOT buy into that becoming a woman bullshit. I wanted to stay a kid, goddammit.

Well, that's actually what most girls are told—you're a woman now, it means you can have children, etc.—so it simply didn't stand out to me as any sort of on-the-nose plotting. I mean, menstruation is the converse of suicide, and an overly obvious contrast at that? Might as well say Glen's growing a mustache is a…

Like many others here, I thought I'd dislike Megan before this season started, but was so pleasantly surprised from the premiere by so many things: she's refreshingly uncynical, she's open-minded, she's kind, she's driven, she will NOT put up with any of Don's shit.

I really think there's no way she isn't coming back.  Did anybody think Christina Hendricks was gone for good when Joan quit SC back in season 3, and then wasn't in a few episodes afterward?  I'm honestly asking, because I have no idea if that was a widespread fear or something.  But I never doubted she'd be back—it's …

Not sure if menstruation is about life beginning, but, then again, I barely paid attention in health class.

Sally is interesting in that she's biologically ready for womanhood,
but ill-prepared emotionally

I agree with a lot of this comment, too, @avclub-1898a4d76532f237d9b5c0592dfe71a9:disqus—yet somehow I also agree with a lot of others. This truly is the weirdest comment section I've come across here.  When I first read this thread yesterday after hearing so much about it—and then after reading about the ton of shit…

Yeah, I'm with @avclub-438f54f8c5a3a6f58ce5a69d37294fe9:disqus : This show needs Peggy.  I literally cannot imagine it without her, or at least can't imagine it being half as good.  "Bold" means fuck-all when it means losing the character who's clearly the second lead, the most sympathetic, the one who represents…

Oh, I really wasn't picking on you!  I saw @avclub-f336f687c802c5fb53f586a467b03580:disqus asking if he/she was the only one tired of hearing the complaint about subtlety, and I just ran with that.  I don't think your opinion is invalid.  I've just heard it so often from a lot of critics this season, and just decided…

Yeah, exactly.  Or, as I see it: You tell your friends about who you've fucked, you tell your doctor about your problems having sex (if you have any, which I DON'T), you use the phrase "making love" with your partner (but only if you're a colossal dork), and you use "slept with" in polite company.  Ta-da!
