He might just be the kind of guy who sleazily hits on all the women he comes across in a day, but we don't see him hitting on or flirting with anyone else (not that I can remember). Stan does seem to have a strange little crush on Peggy.

No. Stan is played by Jay Ferguson. Danny Strong plays Danny Siegel.

Roger's self-worth was tied up in keeping Lucky Strike on board and Lee milked that for all it was worth (possibly because he's another guy who inherited a family business). Lee sensed Roger's doubt about his own worth and used that weakness to torment him. Roger has never really had to work for anything.…

So is Joan still pregnant or not?
The scene when Roger tells her about the secret he's been carrying around for weeks seemed a little too on the nose in that classic Mad Men way.

Since you already think I'm being hostile, I might as well actually be hostile: Fuck you, you dumbass.

He still seems very dedicated to the show, but it's clear from her video blog that Lifetime and the show producers are being very troublesome.

@Karla: You can't assume that because homophobia is common among straight men, heterophobia is common among gay men. There's just no evidence that gay men automatically dislike straight people. And if you had trouble at a gay bar once, that's a stupid thing to base a generalization on. If you've had trouble at a gay…

Angel and LaGuerta both suck, but Angel sucks a little more. He's always dragged down every scene he's in. The character is this big, dumb, boring block. You could edit out nearly every scene he's ever been in and you wouldn't notice a difference.

I noticed that too. The actor looks like he's lost 15 pounds or so. I think he looks more attractive now. He was heading towards Matthew Perry-face territory last season. Wardrobe needs to put him in some slimmer cuts. The baggy Miami-style togs just make him look gaunt.

Wasn't O'Neal just playing along with the OP's joke?

@alurin: Well, yes. But I was talking more at a 'meta' level about the show's perspective. Counterculture figures that have been introduced so far have been almost uniformly assholes and useless burnouts. It's almost like Wiener, et al. are writing these types in light of the failure of the Boomer generation to live…

It's still odd Burt doesn't have an office. He's still valuable as someone with a lot of industry contacts and just being a reassuring figurehead (like Roger) at the head of a still-young firm. He probably is asked to dig in his rolodex and host clients for lunches often.

I think it's kind of irritating that Mad Men is taking the easy way out by presenting the counterculture in the form of these rather douchey, educated, middle-classed white kids. That way, many aspects of it just seem like a ridiculous affectation, not something many people believed in. It's exceedingly cynical. It…

You guys are kind of missing the point with all this talk about loving discipline and boundaries and so on. This was an era when parenting was just starting to be treated as a skill that you had to learn. Before Dr. Spock, people didn't devote that much time thinking about how they were raising their children. They…

Pete is not a fundamentally decent or good guy. He's likable and sympathetic. There's a difference.

Oops, I meant, "Open doors last week, open shades this week."

He was sitting by the windows and we were looking at him from an angle they haven't used before. The bright sunlight pouring over Don at his desk was a marked contrast to previous scenes of Don slumped on the couch in the dark in what looked like an oppressive, drab apartment. His place actually looked pretty nice in…

Yes. The way Henry was treating Betty in that scene reminded me a lot of the dynamic of her previous marriage to Don. It's interesting that he seems to have turned the tables on Betty by asserting himself more than we've seen him do in the past (banning Don from coming to Gene's birthday party and getting his stuff…

If we had to categorize the AVC commentariat, most would be Paul Kinseys, Harry Cranes and Peggy Olsons.

I cut off my tits a long time ago in order to get men to take me seriously. Now they just spend more time staring at my ass.
