Don and his Mood Disorder
In the first episode of this season Don was a different personality. I remember posting that he seemed almost "manicky". Certainly, in "Tomorrowland" he had that same manicky look when he courted Megan. You know the look, when his eyes glittered, and he professed his love. Then it…

Dr. MacRapey will not die in Vietnam, but another character on MM will. MARK MY WORDS….ON THIS DAY….I PICKED UP SOMETHING IN THE SCRIPT….but, I will not do a future spoiler or whatever that could be called.

Detectives, that's a good angle. And just like we learned that Megan knew about Faye at the last, we might learn that she knows about Dick in the same way.

That was my question, too. I would love watching MM in a theatre with other fanboys and fangirls. Thanks for the info. Are we saying the Alamo as in The Alamo as in San Antonio?

Hey BLair: It's not the vandalizing that started Glen's reputation. Remember that Glen pushed open the bathroom door to look at Betty on the toilet! She then crosses boundaries by befriending him, giving him a lock of her hair. They both encounter each other where Betty sobs through the car window outside of both…

I thought it was very funny that when Harry said to Peggy, "I haven't met your lovely friend" (paraphrase), Peggy said, "Oh, yes, you've met Joyce before."

Don is impaired in the "thinking things through" category, as is Betty. They are very immature. Adults can be depended on by others. Neither Don nor Betty are there yet.

Pete won't like Peggy and Ken being a team either.

@Blair: What word did Weiner give to Glen to describe what he was to be perceived as by the audience. Afterall, he vandalized the Draper/Francis home with his friend. Because he has been going to a psychiatrist for quite some time Betty has suspicions that this might not be the best influence for Sally. This is the…

@ Sally's Little Brother: That's how I see the Betty/Don relationship, particularly after this last episode. They are still "married", but in this twisted way. There always is a coziness to couples like this who divorce, but remain coupled.

I posted on an earlier thread that Weiner was being historically accurate to bring in heroin.the Vietnam war was the cause of heroin being introduced into the U.S. It was cheap and made its way into those on low incomes, particularly in the inner cities. The counter culture was experimenting with all types of drugs…

@ Persimmon: You really are onto the mother-daughter dynamic here. (I posted a little on this under your handle on an earlier thread). I, too, believe that Betty will always be easier on the boys. When Don was in the home, Bobby received the tongue lashings. But, now that Don is gone, her harshness is reserved for…

@ Blair: The gun and gun shot in the same frame is an interesting concept. And they are more viseral together. I'll have to start watching TCM with new interest just to see if I can spot some of the oddities of the code. There have been years when I was not watching movies because I was working and raising kids. I…

@Blair: In that time period non-profits did not make the big bucks that some of them do today. It probably wasn't until the 80's that some non-profits could be put into that category. I thought the show threw us a bone so that we could understand how some of the contacts could be made for other accounts by pointing…

@ Steve, Smuggy, Persimmon, Crafty, Decidely Ambivalent, Not as Pervy,: That was a great read through for me. Alot of good ideas have been put into place for me as I read over them. Persimmon has highlighted the problem of Betty's jealousy of her daughter which is a constant problem in both their developments. I'm…

L-o-l-a, what an intriguing post with amazing information. I had always heard about the Code but never heard it described. The Catholic Legion of Decency published in magazines their rating system so that households could choose which films they would go to. I never realized that "Johnny Guitar" fit with a…

"limited to people of a certain age" as in those who could ride their bikes to the theatre and pay a dime to see the Disney animations ? :)

Yes, I do. I would like giant sized leggos, new play dough with different colors, and a new inside bat and ball set. We'll schedule at your convenience after your mid terms :).

@ The detectives: I see both mothers as alike in their actions, as they are protecting their daughters. Dr. Edna has been of great benefit to Betty because we can see that Betty has found new ways to check that awful temper she was showing. As such, she can be a more impacting, adult parent to Sally. (She's not…

Very creative, Nath. We'll look forward to this episode. Henry would be lining up the politicians to appear at the hearings for CCCP. Crane would have to protect his Hollywood buddies. Why does this ring true?
