Oh, Suzanne the teacher—yes, I hated that story line so much.  I've heard that a lot of people thought she was psycho or something, but for me it was just the fact that Don was having yet another goddamn affair, right after his wife had given birth, and with his daughter's teacher.  And unlike most of Don's…

@avclub-1f25bd51dbe35ffd0319d1cfb405a223:disqus   That's a really good point—I had totally forgotten about Betty's nanny.  Damn, that really does make firing Carla seem even more heartless.

It's not that Lane couldn't get another job; he had helped start SCDP, he was a partner, his name was part of the company's name!  Having to resign under such circumstances was not only humiliating, but it meant the death of his own American dream.  He *had* already started over once before, when he formed SCDP, and…

It wasn't patently absurd; I like your analysis.  And it is interesting to see this play out with Sally.  I just wanted to point it out because it really is one of biology's colossal jokes on women: most reach puberty between 10-13—much earlier than boys—but hell no they're not emotionally mature yet!  It's incredibly…

I thought most people loved season 3.  So many watershed moments and big character developments: Lane is introduced, the lawnmower, Sally becomes a fully-formed character, Betty finds out about Dick Whitman, Sal is fired, Betty and Don break up, the Kennedy assassination (which was not remotely "monotonous" to me),…

@avclub-4ffabf87500b89362ca0abc12daf720b:disqus I would be extraordinarily surprised for all the reasons I listed.  You get rid of characters like Lane in such a situation, not leads like Peggy.

No, I'm with Garrison. I've never gotten why everybody thinks he's a serial killer; staring at Betty in the bathroom was the one truly unsettling thing he's done, but I chalked that up to young kids sometimes doing weird shit. Having a crush on Betty, and running away from his mom to live in their playhouse? Seemed…

They had a commercial similar to this a few years ago! I guess Dish network threatens to drop AMC on the regular. That one was equally funny, with everybody all angry—Joan smashing Greg with a vase, Betty breaking that chair. It's a pretty clever campaign, actually.

I'm a lady person of the female sex. I thought it was gratuitous, simply because there was no doubt that that's what had happened. So it's not a matter of being grossed out by blood or periods, but just, why the closeup? And, frankly, it was a closeup of a 12-yr-old's underwear crotch, and maybe I am a prude in that…

Oh, exactly! That was a perfect example of a character voicing another's thoughts/fears, and it was what, season 2? Nobody ever mentions scenes like that when saying this season is too obvious.
