But, it took WEEKS for Peterson to finally get his act together to try to leave the country.

The dauhter and father could have planned this and hired someone to show up at the house whie the daughter was away getting gas. Someone could have just come up to the house maybe claiming some sort of emergency or who knows what — she could have run out of her home to help and then she was restrained/ somehow tricked…

I wondered that too. I don’t see why the daughter couldn’t be a suspect. It could be completely innocent, I’m just saying it’s all suspect until she is located. I forget what the numbers are but it’s something like 19 out of 20 homicides (and I know this isn’t a homicide yet) are committed by acquaintances or family…

Totally, someone could have been “outsourced”. 49 implies an unexpected pregnancy — though doesn’t mean unwanted — however, that could be the motive. What if dad didn’t want to be a dad? Maybe he hoped her EDS would mean her body would miscarry? This is a Dateline with that white-haired guy with the weird narration…

Or went fishing on Xmas Eve day ...? I grew up on the coast in a family that was always fishing and even I doubt any of the guys in my family would have been excused the day of Xmas Eve to just drive 30-60 minutes away and go fishing. It seemed like a strange outing for an observant-seeming family with an expectant…

No, cutting someone else’s hair, especially your daughter’s, extra especially when you’re the father, is indicative of TERRIBLE boundaries. Now I’m not implying that anything other than bad ideas was going on here, but to cut your teenage female child’s hair shows a father that really thinks he owns his daughter and…

Oh totally, because otherwise, an actor/ character can always come back but rarely is a character killed off unless there’s finality off camera, too. I think it’s less of a thing now because there is more media to consume therefore more shows and movies where an actor can get exposure (allegedly?). Even 10 years ago…

Yes, and as if everything else about this guy wasn’t crazy flag raising, he is manipulative as all hell and that’s the biggest, reddest flag: that he’ll use whatever he can (like living w/ the folks to make a woman feel sorry for him, or feel benevolent and possibly see him as being noble for temporarily downsizing…

Me TOO!

Yes, an entirely different animal than Ralphie Wiggum. (And I do mean “animal”.)

HOLY SHIT!!! THIS is a guy I pity dated once! He met me at the restaurant on his bicycle in a suit and fedora and then ordered my dinner for me AND after doing all the ordering ALL night — including LOADS of booze — he asked if I’d chip in on the check because it was higher than he’d anticipated! Not surprisingly, one…

Yes to glass and I’m so sad to NOT see Faucet Face here, too: http://faucetface.com/. They sell very durable, cute milk bottle style portable water bottles and also donate funds to help with clean water action in India as well as promote tap water consumption in No. America over bottled water. I have two Hummingbird…

I’m sorry: I replied thinking it was your father, not grandfather!

Guilt clutter and subscription purchased by a dead loved one: classic clutter and cleaning conundrum! I totally get this! What jumped out at me was that the yet-to-be-read issues make you feel guilty, and while you also mentioned your deceased father got the sub for you, I can tell you from experience that keeping…

I can see that but I don’t think Betty thought as far as whether Don would show up or not, but that she had this final plan and was sticking with it because its the last thing she can control in a deeply uncontrollable situation. It makes sense that Betty would want to retain her dignity and especially in that strange…

So, I definitely don’t think Don was there for his son, but I think he was beginning to learn to be a father with Sally as this series ended — which was too late. I think Betty was far too distant, selfish, self-absorbed and horribly critical and unkind to Sally when she was younger. She projected loads of stuff onto…

I wanted to edit to change it from saying that “much of being Betty was still having Don” to that I always saw them as having a connection and her being the ex who understood him enough to know that while he hurt her terribly, she knew things Meghan did not (and didn’t need to) and that while Don was dangerous, his…

I agree here too and also, Don listens to and respects Sally whereas I don’t recall that being the case between him and Betty, whether deserved or not. Mad Men is depicting a new kind of parent-child relationship not really known before boomers which is one where both sides could look at their parents/children as…

I’m so with you: I was STUNNED while watching it! I even assumed it was a dream and Peggy or Stan (or Don?) would wake up any second and Mad Men would be back instead of this romcom nightmare. This particular wrap up was a let down — they could have gotten together, that isn’t my problem — but like that? “Stan? Are…

And just in case anyone was going to take her seriously DESPITE all that: she tosses the conspiracy excuse/explanation out there for good measure! At least she’ll just crash and burn. But still, wow.
