You clearly have no idea what type of training runners, shot putters, high jumpers, and the like have to do. It's not just about running and running, it's about running more efficiently, and training your body to run in a different way than humans are used to to maximize that efficiency. Exceptional genes is only half

And similarly, some people think that sports like track are the more true tests of athleticism because you don't have a team to support you. Track isn't a "sport". It's a sport.

I must be a shoe liar, then. Some people describe me as a "heel girl" but I only own 3 pairs. I feel more bad ass, polished and adult in heels, but I mostly wear brogues, saddle shoes, and a beat up pair of converse. What do they call women who wear dirty men's shoes, and sometimes masquerade as "heel girls"?

She told Don she wanted to be a copywriter, so he gave her a promotion. She told him she wanted to be an actress, and he gave her a commercial. She told him she wanted white carpets and he gave her that, too! He was very annoyed (and rightfully so) that despite Megan living off ad money, once she became an "artist"

Remember the episode where they go to Italy, and Betty is in control, independent, confident, self-assured and speaking Italian? That was Betty when Don met her. She wasn't always a childlike empress. She was once a model living it up on her own. I don't think it's fair to compare Megan to Betty that way because not

Faye's downfall began the episode Sally ran away to Manhattan and Don found out she was terrible with kids. It's more noticeable in hindsight, but when Sally runs through SCDP and falls and starts crying, it's Megan who comforts her. Maybe it's Don's mother issues rearing it's ugly head, but he likes a maternal woman.

No snot. I will not abide by rogue snot.

I will lobby for the acceptance of toddlers covered in various art supplies, including paint, clay, glitter, marker, etc.

The weird thing about that is that Dawn Paris (her real name) or even Dawn O'Day (her first stage name) are better stage names than Anne Shirley.

The girls in the back are grouped together like mean girl duwop back up singers.

Oh come on, he's not knocking back pop after pop, he's taking sips from his dad's root beer. He's not going to get diabetes from a couple of sips. It's a new experience for him (he's probably more hyped up on the bubbles than the taste) and it's cute.

It's basically, "Change who you are to suit other people and they'll like you!". Because nothing solves depression like having to hide who you are all the time.

KAAAHHHHNNNN! They don't deserve Kahn.

Ugh. FOTF's awfulness is making me depressed.

As I am a bad person, every time I watch the movie I always wish Amy would drown in the ice. She totally became dead to me after she burned Jo's book.

I think people don't realize that 25 in 2012 is very different from 25 in 1967/8. We get to say "that's young" now because today we stay younger for a bit longer, as far as what place people expect to be in their lives at a certain age. At 25 her childish tantrums are just a part of her personality at this point, not

All I need now is for an updated Little Women (where Jo marries Laurie, natch) as a tv series instead of a movie and the world will be complete!

I don't think she's Betty Lite, but the uber Betty! Betty took Don's crap for far longer, and didn't get as dramatic about it until things really started to ratchet up. Megan goes from 0 to 60 much faster, like throwing the plate or stumbling around drunk and crying over Don not giving her the part. As a failing

I can see how Don could think she was perfect. He was divorced, he had kids he wasn't sure how to interact with on his own, he'd started to self destruct in more public ways, and then in comes Megan. Last season we were only exposed to the good traits of Megan, and so was Don. He was never aware of how much of it was
