I believe Don's exact words about this were "It would depend on the girl and what I knew about her"

It's because you sold the fuck out and elected Reagan twice.

Mad Men won't be a soap until it starts retconing like a motherfucker. And people come back from the dead.

I don't think Don is after a thrill. Flight attendant aside (and he seemed sort of reluctant about her), I think he wants an equal, a partner. By and large his affairs are *affairs* not one-night stands.

Sterling-Cooper is almost ridiculously fucking liberal for the time. Kurt, the sweater-wearing gay European is out and still has a job, and this is 6 years before Stonewall.

I mean, I can't be the only one here who first associated that with bush pilots

Bush Doctor is fine
Get your head out of the gutter.

Are we supposed to rate the articles, or what they're about?

He lives there.

She picked up that guy at the bar though and they fucked in a coatroom (or was it a closet?), so the question then is why not with him?

Connie would never work with Roger. If he wanted a Roger, he would have gone to a bigger, better ad agency, with a bigger, better Roger. He wants Don.

For every over-written conversation, there's a fucking gem like:
"It's just coffee"
"Maybe that's why you can't sleep, too much coffee"

Betty Stories
I don't dislike Betty, but increasingly, every time she comes on camera, I'm picking up my laptop.

Did Paul Blart rape anyone?

I think this is reasonably real. I've seen guys get cheated on and then be super pissed at the other guy, but still want to stay together with the g/f. But, umm, they didn't get along very well after anyway.

I don't dislike the idea of AV [whereever], but I do blame it for the lack of buzzkills, fairly or not.

Unrelated, but I guess staff will be reading these comments…
so it's a good forum to bitch, and bitch I shall, because this is fucking bullshit:

Decider was a shitty name anyway
No one was ever going to hear it and not think of George W. Bush.

If you can't get through Los Angeles in one sitting, then you're not even pretending to try.

The Band was 80% Canadian.
