I quite like him in a comic relief position, a bit like a more knowing Kinsey.

hmm yeah he does kinda have a similar role to Kinsey (who was also one-half of a "team" with Peggy)

LOVE Sally's "she tripped over one of Gene's toys"

that was totally a Betty Draper move! only Sally is even sneakier

loved the roger/sally stuff. thought this was a brilliant episode, they're just mining this surreal banality thing really fucking hard now and it's paying off bigtime.

he talked about taking trig, so he's probably either a junior or senior in high school.

sarahell, Thursday, 3 May 2012 03:32 (1 year ago) Permalink

he's probably 16, she's probably... 12?

re-watched this episode lol'd at Peggy's "I do" answer when asked if they should eat, irony escaped me the first time around

Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 3 May 2012 15:44 (1 year ago) Permalink

He's not known as Creepy Glen for nothing.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 3 May 2012 15:46 (1 year ago) Permalink

Just watched the last episode-new fave!

Thought the whole Megan & Don bean pitch was very Samantha & Darren Stevens though.

Loved Pete!

The cast is on Inside the Actors Studio in a few weeks. Pretty stoked.

Darin, Sunday, 6 May 2012 06:53 (1 year ago) Permalink

Hate that show but I'd probably watch that.

I guess, though I can't imagine her actually laughing.

fb update from a friend: "Rory Gilmore you get back to Star's Hollow right this instant! You'll always be too young for Pete Campbell."

i don't think i love the beatles montage

Well, there goes the budget for the rest of the season...

campbell was incredible this ep

johnny crunch, Monday, 7 May 2012 03:09 (1 year ago) Permalink

It's incredible that he was able to seduce a gilmore girl, yes.

Also, Mr. Belding really let himself go.

I think she was in a headspace to fuck anyone who didn't have two heads. Pete was lucky. And now he's a stalker. Except, wtf was that heart in the foggy glass? This has disaster written all over it, except this is Mad Men...so we'll probably never see anything about it ever again.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 7 May 2012 03:15 (1 year ago) Permalink

Peggy failing at the banter slayed me.

polyphonic, Monday, 7 May 2012 03:19 (1 year ago) Permalink

The Beatles montage at the end was a bit on the nose but I thought it worked pretty well.

bark ruffalo (latebloomer), Monday, 7 May 2012 03:23 (1 year ago) Permalink

pete in the hotel room also great.

s.clover, Monday, 7 May 2012 03:31 (1 year ago) Permalink

Also "on the nose" endings are awesome and adorable. I like it when shows aren't afraid of artifice. That's always been a mad men strength.

was it really Mr. Belding?

bark ruffalo (latebloomer), Monday, 7 May 2012 03:39 (1 year ago) Permalink

i saw "mr. belding" references on twitter and not having seen much saved by the bell i thought it might be a reference to the ad agency foote, cone & belding.

also, i'm drunk right now; been gulping manhattans for two hours.

Hey hey hey, what is going on here?

(The answer is apparently a lot of non-dairy whipped topping)

C-L, Monday, 7 May 2012 06:24 (1 year ago) Permalink

poor peggy, she really got a lot of shit heaped on her this episode, with the "pizza house" phone calls and don calling her jealous and messing up the tag line with cool whip... the writers just did not want to let her win.

and they are pushing the dramatic parallels thing so hard this season. i like it, but it's starting to feel overdone.

10. “Pour Some Sugar On Me” – Tom Cruise (contenderizer), Monday, 7 May 2012 07:10 (1 year ago) Permalink

alexis bledel is really pretty, huh.

expect we'll be seeing trudy pretty soon, probably at the office.

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Monday, 7 May 2012 09:23 (1 year ago) Permalink

Context is everything, of course, but her face has a very 50s/60s quality about it that I'd never realized before.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 7 May 2012 09:27 (1 year ago) Permalink

also, don puts the needle down near the opening of the side but the song is at the end of the side!

i suspect this will become a major plot point.

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Monday, 7 May 2012 09:27 (1 year ago) Permalink

apparently bledel is actually 30 years old but no way does she look it.

"i suspect this will become a major plot point."

Unlike Lost where that crazy version of RAW POWER where "Search & Destroy" is IN THE MIDDLE OF RECORD and they just never mentioned it again.

I thought they got this right actually...? when he lifts up the needle it's at the end of the record

Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 7 May 2012 15:40 (1 year ago) Permalink

yeah, and i thought he put the needle down more towards the middle/end. maybe i need to rewatch, but megan did make a big point about how don had to play this one particular song.

loved the bit with the elevator

She said, "Start with this one," which the Beatles themselves did, as that was the first song they recorded for Revolver.

lol @ Don telling Roger he doesn't want Megan to end up like her mother
