The idea that a fictional character would go on to create a real ad indicates Weiner's willingness to blur lines for cheap nostalgia and/or dramatic effect.

Awesome episode - and the internet wouldn't have broken if LaToya had given the episode the A++++ it deserved.

she was much better in the next episode.

I was struck by how generous Louie was in this episode. As a writer/director/actor, he basically created three set pieces where other characters/actors dominated the scenes he was in (his daughter, ex girlfriend, and brother respectively).

Say, what?

It's pretty obvious that he's checked in to the Hotel California.

No worries, and sorry for my part in the confusion.

As I indicated from the outset, I'm not claiming to know what was going on behind the scenes. I can only make inferences about what was happening on screen and what was originally reported about the unpopular (and abandoned) storyline. I can also only document my disappointment at subsequent developments. I'm…

I thought this was a very ordinary episode, and only laughed at the bank joke.

thank you. I try my best.

Oh, please - Amy (like Sally Field) cares that people really really like her.

It must be nice to be so retarded.

A wonderfully thought out piece of

As much as I appreciate the first draft of the review, emphasizing Don's story reeks of unintended sexism: Joan being pushed to the margins should not have been similarly sidelined and being given equal importance.

The show might often be infantile or too smug for its own good - but Bradley Whitford's character somehow elevates the crap around him.

I thought Helen McCrory was awful in this - hammy (and hammer horror) appears to be completely at odds with her acting style. She seems to be playing pantomime or punch and judy instead : her performance screams
'can everyone in the back row hear me or see my face contort?!'
