@beatrice2000: Oui. Hip and handsome, but he's allegedly interested in some long-distance relationship, when he could be dating models right in his neighborhood. So false.

@MyNameIsChris: Agree. Also, he's a good-looking guy in NYC, his supposed infatuation with some unknown girl out in the hinterland rings extremely false.

Wow, shrill. I watched a bunch of these clips, and her voice is still ringing in my ears.

@lostarchitect: Fantastic- the camera obscura effect. Happened in college, we were looking at slides so the room was dark, but there was a hole or gap in the curtain, and the room filled with the image of the brightly lit buildings across 14th Street- upside down, amazing.

@resplendent.bitch: +100

@14K:missesMizJ: I assure you that gay people existed, were known and visible, and had relationships in the Manhattan of 1965. Not approved of, but a burgeoning subculture that was waiting to erupt. I don't why "in the open" would matter- that's sort of your arbitrary criteria there. If relationships aren't "in…

I read a lot of recaps of Mad Men, but this was especially good, Tracie, my favorite of the day.

@pmarble: Thank you- I think so too. There really is something interesting about her dilemma if it were really real, at least as a larger theme. But the way Rodger harps on it constantly, every episode, saying the same thing over and over sems very phony and contrived.

Like a lot of people, I sense that she really in her heart doesn't want to have children, at least right now. Surrogacy wasn't discussed, but that's maybe a little deeper than this show's meant to be.

"..Hendricks's face, which Macrae alleged was less "classically beautiful" than January Jones's."

Kind of eerily beautiful. Reminds me of a Ross Bleckner painting.

I'm just recalling something Camille recounted a while ago. After writing about her for years, Madonna was at the same event/party as she; in the same room. Madonna pointedly avoided Camille, who rationalized: Madonna was too intimidated by Camille's towering intellect, having only a few years of college. …

@SomeAuthorGirl: That would be So 90's! No wi-fi though- make them do it through AOL on a 56k dial-up modem.

@YourScreenplaySucks: I agree- Camille's batty, but I appreciate her older serious writings on art and literature. I re-read that Emily Dickinson essay regularly. And fuck Foucault!

@LuthienTinuviel: I don't think the ellipses were hers- what most of us read was a truncated snippet of a longer article, behind a paywall. Pretty sure it was the Times that chopped up paragraphs there dot dot dot

@Brownh0rnet: Aaah, I see, thank you. Like I said, you need a diagram to recall who's related to whom and how.

@No.Wave: I'd say they're both sticking with the "story" that Danielle's comment had anything to do with Jacqueline or her son at all. This news of her brother and his wife sounds like a more plausible twist.

@No.Wave: That's was Jacqueline's explanation.. but how would her son be Teresa's nephew? I need a diagram sometimes. Isn't Jacq's husband a Manzo?

Alarming as it is, there were a couple of amusing moments. Kate goes up to the rail and a bewildered bystander next to her says, "Jesus Christ, would you guys stop?" She just randomly got caught up in the hurricane, and the way she said it was sort of funny/annoyed.

Another elephant in the room: she seems like she doesn't really want kids, despite everyone's urging. But she's hesitant to say so on camera.
