re: Pete/girl, I thought it's point was to introduce the idea into Pete's head that ~he~ might be depressed?

yeah, I was wondering about that myself. Does electroshock therapy actually work that way?

That's possible, but it doesn't matter a whole lot since she'll probably never be seen again and Pete is getting his city fuck pad.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 14 June 2012 17:46 (twelve years ago) link
the irony of trudy acceding to his desire for an apartment in the city is that he no longer wants it. i don't think we're going to see him turning into don.

memory loss is a possible side effect of ECT it seems, yes. Less so nowadays; the techniques for administering ECT have changed a lot.

time to find a new seat. seriously, how did they always have the same seats!
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 14 June 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link
It's not uncommon on commuter trains. If you always make the same train, and tend to sit in the same car because it's close to your entrance or where you want to exit, you start to see the same people quite a bit. He'll probably just take a different time train from now on!
― dan selzer, Thursday, 14 June 2012 18:46 (twelve years ago) link
Oh no, what if the other guy has the same idea and they STILL wind up on the same train?

trying to shift your neurochemistry with some current doesn't seem morally different from doing same with drugs or exercise or sunshine or talking or anything else

yeah seems to me its purported creepiness is more an extension of it being forced on people involuntarily and, perhaps earlier on, due to its crudity as a method

This last episode was pretty much perfection, I think. Far surpassed any film I've seen in the last... 3 years or so. Just... really great.

watched this again last night - my opinion of Megan's mother is unchanged. when she comes in to find Megan in bed she's the one who starts going on about how the world can't fulfill all the dreams of little girls, that she's being lazy. Megan lashes back with the "is that what you tell yourself" comment but then her mom calls her "an ungrateful little bitch".
this is shitty parenting.

from the op: "The creator compromised slightly on issue of the show’s running time, agreeing to the show running two minutes shorter in all epiosdes (45 minutes) when on AMC except the fifth season’s premiere and finale (47) — with an option for Weiner to turn in 47-minute episodes for other platforms like VOD and DVD. The main cast is signed on for two more season and no more cuts are expected there."
Did this actually happen? Every episode (ads included) seemed to run longer than an hour this season.

I just watched season 5, all 13 episodes, in four days, for the first time. Saw the last four episodes last night. A lot of things still not letting me go, haunting and enticing me, and I think this was by far the best MM season.
Went to read all the comments here after every episode which has been a treat :-)
Bit melancholy there's no more now. Do we know when season 6 will be aired? Next year?
