Good episode.
There was so much happening its hard to pick what to talk about. I thought that early scene when Betty woke up to find Don tending to baby Gene was really heart breaking for their relationship. Don is trying to be the duitiful attentive husband, in large part as an apology for all the things hes done and…

"The Gestalt Shift Comedy Half-Hour with Demetri Martin."

Max Records
is an awesome name. I hope he avoids the problems that find most child actors.

Don already rejected that idea with the spray deodorant. I think the quote was "some people are scared to think about the future, they see a rocket launch and build a bomb shelter. And who are these space men anyway? They piss in their pants for christ's sake".

Sendero Luminoso Verdero is my favorite.

Saying it was a moral was my failed attempt at irony. I think the writers are trying to present a nuanced view of sex. There is the sex you want and there is the sex you can get, and sometimes what you get is not what you want at all.

"It seemed almost generic; any international hotel chain could use that campaign."

God, you people are fighting hard to not make Don out to be the homophobe that he is. Don understands that society holds us to standards that nobody can fulfill, especially in the 50s/60s. This means he is supportive of the idea of having a secret life in which you can explore all the urges that you cannot bring to…

I didn't read it like you guys are reading it. I heard Don asking if anything went on sexually, Sal saying no, nothing happened, and Don not believing him.

Hilton's response.
I thought what Hilton was trying to say to Don by throwing a hissy fit about not incorporating his moon idea was that Don was not reciprocating the love and affection he had shown him. Don incorporated the things Connie said and came up with a clever campaign, but it was about ice, and fresh towels.…

I love Alton Brown
His recipes for Polenta and tuna croquettes are mainstays of my diet. They are both easy to make, cheap and delicious. You can't beat that.

There are plenty of things in life that are horrible, but not illegal. I for example slaughter hundreds of whales each year in the antarctic as part of scientific research into sushi.

They recently came out with a study that the majority of married women submit to sex with their husbands even when they don't want to. This is an example of coercive sex as one of the partners does not want to have sex but does so anyway to avoid negative consequences within the relationship.

Coercive sex can be consensual. It still is terrible, and Pete deserves some major karma for what he did, but for Rape to have that capital R, one of the partners needs to be physically forced as Joan was, or put that NO! out there.

A somebody who normally loves garage and lo-fi
I just can't get into Vile. Not enough bite, and not fun enough.

Um…
Unless Sonny and Cher and Buffalo Springfield recorded Irish ditties and piano sonatas you have the wrong music loaded in the player.

Michael Moore
soooooooo controversial.

Some people just hate dance music.

We use cliches, especially when we are young, when we don't have the words to express how we really feel. The phrases are stock but the feelings are deep, personal and very much real. The Twilight Sad is very good at re-investing phrases that would sound stupid out of any other band with the mixed up intensity that…
