I have a bias against pretty you...I don't know. I have a bias against pretty young husband-stealing thangs, though Don was presumably unattached. <br /><br />It's difficult to see the women of that era objectively. I always wanted to garrote Betty, though I agree there is probably nothing more likely to make a former diva truly obnoxious than being inured in the suburbs with small children.<br /><br />Lane is, I learn, played by Jared Harris, the son of Richard Harris, and a more unlikely father-son pair I can't imagine. The apple fell MILES from the tree there!<br />AEdittorrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295505709568570553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-67332111125632633952012-03-26T12:52:47.187-05:002012-03-26T12:52:47.187-05:00I find myself liking Peggy as a character, too, de...I find myself liking Peggy as a character, too, despite her occasional bad behavior. But yeah, Lane, Joan, maybe Harry. I was disappointed when Lane kept that photograph. I keep wanting him to be more noble than he is. <br /><br />Very little subtext in last night's episode. The conflicts all appear to be out in the open now. The only secretive behavior, really, was Lane's.<br /><br />Do you think we're meant to like the new Mrs. Draper? I know they were setting us up to like her in the first few scenes -- the kids have good relations with her, and Peggy seems close to her. But I just can't warm up to her. <br /><br />TEdittorrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295505709568570553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-13749531379693076172012-03-26T12:33:49.720-05:002012-03-26T12:33:49.720-05:00I spent the whole time thinking that it's amaz...I spent the whole time thinking that it's amazing middle-aged college-educated men generally end up running everything, when all they could think about which of the nubile secretaries they would next coerce into bed.<br /><br />Even Lane, who is kind of the only likable character (maybe Joan) keeps wanting to dump his wife for some sexy opportunist. <br /><br />Oh, well. The costumes are really pretty. I liked that dress of Peggy's.<br />AEdittorrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295505709568570553noreply@blogger.com
