The whole idea in the book is that he doesn't want to leave behind a bastard, like Ned, which became a big point of tension for their family. It's at least a little more sympathetic than show!Robb seeing a hot girl on the battlefield with her hands in somebody's leg. At the absolute least, show!Robb easily could've…

lol women do not use feminism to whine about thin men not dating them. I have literally, not once, ever seen this happen. Most women who feel alienated by societal beauty standards have incredibly low self-esteem and just want people to treat them like human beings.

I'm more offended by how awful the writing is. Jesus. It's like someone ran Dr. Malcolm's speech from the first movie through Moron language on Google Translate.

That's exactly what the show is about, though.

He mare may not be nervous that he can still pull off the Twin Peaks vision.

I haven't seen Lost or Alias, but I watched the Fringe pilot and thought it was garbage.

lol ok. Enjoy your glum and incurious approach to entertainment.

Love yourself. Watch Top of the Lake instead, at least.

Yeah, much like Downton Abbey, it deals with the futility of the business world and how there are parallels between corporate game-playing and interpersonal relationships, how people's delusions and self-destructive patterns evolve or remain static, what it means to exist or to love, how society changes and people…

Also "You don't want to run away with me. You just want to run away."

I think it's the first one. It seemed to me that she was trying to release some of his sexual waywardness in an environment she could control, and bring them closer together. When he leaves the next morning totally cold and unimpressed, she's upset it didn't make him any happier.

Yup. She's too confident for him. I think this was also why it didn't work out with Dr. Miller, along with the child-aversion.

There's a very interesting moment when Freddie is talking to Joan (or Joan overhears him talking) about Peggy's copywriting potential, and she slides in this sleazy little comment about her looks. She hates the thought of another woman succeeding based on talent and ability, so she knocks Peggy back into the realm of…

Yep! I watched it because of that conversation; it was very fascinating to me. I started making a list of movies referenced in Mad Men. I find it's a great way to feel my way around 50s-60s Hollywood movies. You can never tell what you're going to get in that area because so many films are hailed as "classics" by pure…

My Favorite Game, you might be thinking of. I love that one too.

Ditzy people definitely exist, but the problem with Meredith is how one-note she is. It's the same joke in literally all of her scenes. Usually when Mad Men does recurring cartoonish side characters, there's a bit more depth.

I liked Ms. Blankenship, but this is exactly how I feel about Meredith. Every time she comes onscreen, I wonder who dribbled some Big Bang Theory into my Mad Men.

Ech, I hated that scene. It struck me as so faux-feminist and Mary Sue-ish.

I hope she ran off to California with Rachel.

Doesn't she hint at this pretty blatantly on their first date? Or am I confused about the fact that she was in The Sopranos…
