Good point — no, I don't think they do.  The show definitely seems to be making a point about his lying, though, so I have to think it's leading somewhere.

"Oh by the way, which one's Pink?"

Bob Benson casually lies whenever it suits him, so it definitely seems like he's being set up as something different from what he appears.  He lied to Ted to cover for Cutler here, which I think means he's done that every time he appears.  Maybe he's just an asshole with no scruples, like Don but with more ambition.…

Stand by for the SEC boats.

I was thinking the same thing.  It's probably not, but I would prefer to believe that's her.

U mad tho?

HELLO I'VE HEARD THIS IS THE PLACE TO EXPRESS MY DISLIKE OF POPULAR MEDIA IS THAT CORRECT ALSO HOW DO I DO A QUESTION MARK ON THIS

People are hard on him because he reminds them too much of themselves.  Search your feelings; you know it to be true!

A 2 page ad. First page: A patient bending over, receiving an injection. Doctor and patient smiling. Closeup on syringe, which is full of tiny Chevy Vegas.  2nd page: same scene, only doctor and patient are anthropomorphic Chevys.  The syringe is now full of tiny scared people.  CEHVY in bold letters beneath.

Anyone else think this was a commentary on the amphetamine-fueled writing in the '60s?  The drug sequences really reminded me of Philip K. Dick's drug novels.

It just occurred to me that Bob Benson is basically a 1960s version of Dexter.  The coffee = friends obsession is the first clue, and now he's ingratiating himself with a single mom with an abusive ex.

I don't think the "sense of memory" is nearly as important for a movie about the 20s as it is for a show set in the 60s.  Most adults either grew up in the vicinity of the 60s, or were raised by people who grew up in the 60s, so we all pretty much know what it was about.  Not so with the 1920s — you'd need to cast a…

Love Actually, actually.

The merger is like the end of a bad game of Spider Solitaire when you start making whatever random move is available because your previous moves trapped you in a corner.  Eventually Don is going to run out of moves, and then what?  Mahjong?  Stick with one game, Don.

@LJo1:disqus Also less than kid friendly: the dozens of graphic deaths.

Mtn Dew: it does a goatbody good.

No, it definitely still has homosexual connotations.  They're calling people gay BECAUSE of the weak/effeminate connotation.  It's saying, "You are like a gay person, which I think is a bad thing."
