My guess would be that she was in denial about the death of her child and went so deep into shock that she got stuck performing that monotonous motion for hours. (In the vein of “He can’t be dead. See? We’re at the playground. Playing like we always do. Everything’s fine.”)

Sadly it’s not even close for me. I once did a postpartum home visit to find that the infant had died several days before but the mother was still bathing and dressing the little body and frantic because “She just won’t eat.” I suspect this will turn out to be something similar. Grief can do some powerfully tragic…

I like how jerkholes from other countries like to make broad generalizations that don’t necessarily apply to everyone in said particulary country to puff themselves up, it’s like many of you have inferiority complexes and have to find a way to demean my country or another country at any chance you get and act as…

See now these are the people who give people with service and support animals a bad name. She should learn ADA and Fair Housing law. And she should be ashamed of herself.

Dear author: “Therapy animal”, “service animal”, “support animal,” etc are not interchangeable terms. Step up your research skills and use the…

As long as nobody says shit about therapy-joey-eating-fox, this is totally copacetic.

That’s the sad thing— Sally was right that it would be best for the boys to stay in the same house and be with Henry. Even more change and upheaval is not going to be good for them.

Or....like...Peggy could re-claim her child and she and Joan could become a couple and raise their two little bastards together and on July 24, 2011, finally marry!!

Haha. For some reason, I kept thinking of that weird doll, Elf on a Shelf, while that guy was talking about being in the refrigerator and I just couldn’t take it too seriously after that.

Okay, good. All my friends think I am completely insane for thinking this. They were all giant Stan/Peggy ‘shippers though. I saw their relationship as work husband/work wife. Almost sibling like.

And they finally gave Bobby and Gene a little character development!

See, I thought respecting Betty’s wishes and not rushing home was incredibly unselfish of him. That conversation they had on the phone was the most agency he’s given her. Both his daughter and the mother of his children wanted the kids to have stability that he knew he couldn’t offer, especially in the state he was…

Do you think Don created the Carousel?

Really??? I’m so disappointed they didn’t show an ad agent of colour now. I do wonder if they had to get permission from Coke to imply that their fictional character made that ad. I’m imagining Coke executives running around the office this morning planning to bring back that ad and cash in on Mad Men :)

Also a big risk for Peggy just in case the production company would fail. Joan has money but Peggy wouldn’t have a safety net.

You surely understand that this is fiction, not reality, and that liberties are expected to be taken?

The two women have very different history with respect to their career ambitions. Joan is wealthier, has fewer conventional options, and is further along in her career than Peggy. I could see Peggy branching out on her own in a decade or two, but at the moment, she’s getting what she wants by mostly following the…

1) Ultimately, the show came back to its roots. Advertising is the commodification of genuine feelings and emotions. Don’s breakdown listening to his fellow support group member’s struggles with being loved echoed Harry’s breakdown during Don’s “Carousel” speech way way back in Season 1, and the end result was the…

I am an unapologetic “Steggy” fan, but I too loved Roger and Marie the most. “A bottle of champagne for my mother.” Ha!

I was bummed Peggy didn’t go with Joan. I’d been hoping for years for those two to become allies.

I loved that Joan feels like it takes two names for a business to sound real. When Peggy didn’t bite, she just used her own! Another revealing detail: when Joan asked Peggy to be her partner Joan was wearing the fuchsia dress that she wore when she was sexually harassed in her Topaz meeting with McCann. She hadn’t…
