why are you being so condescending? oh wait, it's you. care to provide your flaky thoughts on the french cultural theorist du jour?

i love the world of intrigue this line effortlessly invokes

Mordy, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 01:35 (fourteen years ago)

talk about condensing.

jed_, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 01:39 (fourteen years ago)

um, condescending

jed_, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 01:39 (fourteen years ago)

i'm just a pulpist

Mordy, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 01:43 (fourteen years ago)

jed-I agree...

*tera, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 20:12 (fourteen years ago)

i find that unconvincing

Mordy, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 20:15 (fourteen years ago)

The Hare Krishna storyline seemed a bit sloppy. Liked seeing Kinsey but...meh. I could see how he would be the type to go exploring cults and how subcultures appeal to that character but the show seems to try and incorporate too much pop culture at once this season. Or was I just annoyed with this episode.

*tera, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 20:18 (fourteen years ago)

given that the mid-60s was when pop culture REALLY went into overdrive, this seems entirely appropriate

Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 20:20 (fourteen years ago)

They could've just found Kinsey in some storefront "cool" xtian church, but then we wouldn't have had the pleasure of his Krishna haircut.

the theater and post-play argument between Don & Megan was awesome

sarahell, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 20:22 (fourteen years ago)

I guess my main question coming out of the episode was whether Don is throwing himself back into his work for good reasons (he really has been slacking, needs to focus) or bad reasons (Megan is too hard for him to deal with so he's gonna live at the office for six weeks). The fact that Megan was pushing him to try harder at work makes it a complicated question.

i think the joan dinner reminded him that there's more to live for than megan

jump them into a gang - into the absurd (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 20:34 (fourteen years ago)

also tooling around in a jag and megan freaking out with the spaghetti
he likes domesticity but is trying to determine how to balance his life now that megan isn't the constant.
tried making everything a playground, now will try to make his life a battlefield
dude has trouble with half measures

I like Megan a whole lot more, her charm is diminishing.

*tera, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 20:49 (fourteen years ago)

Kinsey is such a pathetic Krishna lol

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 20:57 (fourteen years ago)

i liked the joke about him working at A&P.

tim machine (get bent), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 21:00 (fourteen years ago)

still cracking up every time I think of "there's an airplane here to see you."

s.clover, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 21:03 (fourteen years ago)

Weiner, Gilligan, and Milch talk about TV: http://www.gq.com/entertainment/movies-and-tv/201206/roundtable-discussion-matthew-weiner-vince-gilligan-david-milch?currentPage=1

Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 22:47 (fourteen years ago)

i hope that's a convincing interview!

littledotheyknow (D-40), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:05 (fourteen years ago)

hare krishnas was sort of dumb, but not out of character for this show to do something for the lols. it doesn't take itself very seriously at all, least of all this season. it is 100% soap opera now.

ooooiiiioooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaoooooh un - bi - leevable! (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:13 (fourteen years ago)

lol what was it before

Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:16 (fourteen years ago)

back to the soap opera thing zzzzzzzzzz

Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:19 (fourteen years ago)

it's always been a soap opera. just with clothes and furniture that you covet.

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:20 (fourteen years ago)

i think the better word is "melodrama"

ryan, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:29 (fourteen years ago)

weird - what is that doing there?

It's a famous building. DC Comics was there for a long tiem.

seven league bootie (James Morrison), Thursday, 24 May 2012 00:25 (fourteen years ago)

that's what I was wondering, whether they were in the same building as DC comics!

Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 24 May 2012 00:49 (fourteen years ago)

a) the building would have to be several blocks long and turn a corner if so

b) DC didn't move there 'til the 80s

┗|∵|┓ (sic), Thursday, 24 May 2012 01:05 (fourteen years ago)

loved this episode! Christina Hendricks is a GREAT actress! Love her and Don!

Harry was ALMOST likeable. But not quite.

homosexual II, Thursday, 24 May 2012 01:31 (fourteen years ago)

Ya know, Harry probably got some weird VD from that Krishna chick.

Also omg: he's fixing to be a dad AGAIN.

Hare Kinsey (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 24 May 2012 01:52 (fourteen years ago)

I kind of loved that Harry actually got into the chanting, that made me happy - like hooray there's hope for him somewhere in his meek existence, lol
