Mad Men?
Anyone?
I liked last night's episode despite some disturbing parts. I enjoyed the focus on the agency and Don's return to being a savvy businessman. I wanted to slap Roger during the meeting with the Honda reps and was horrified to realize that I was actually rooting for Pete Campbell for much of the episode. I may have missed a discussion about last week's episode, but I worry that something's going to go wrong with Trudy's pregnancy.
Betty slapping Sally for cutting her hair was crazy. I feel like Henry and Carla are the only protection the kids have in the house. I'm glad Sally will get to see a therapist, even though she had to go through the awkward masturbation incident to get there. Did I hear wrong, or did the therapist say, "let's start with 4 times a week"? Isn't that kind of a lot?
What do people think of the theory floating around that both Betty and Sally were molested by Grandpa Gene? I'm leaning toward no.
Re: Mad Men?
I loved it. Even with all the disturbing stuff, I thought it was one of the funnier episodes of the show.
Sally is probably my favorite part of the show, so I was glad there was a lot of focus on her. I think 4x a week is a lot by today's standards, but in the 60's, I guess schools had the time and resources to put that much focus on one kid. Or at least that's what Mad Men wants me to believe, and therefore, I believe it whole heartedly.

Betty is freaking out of control.
Remind me, what year is it supposed to be? If the timing is right, I think they are setting Sally up to go wild and run off to Woodstock.

I think it's 1965? I agree about the Woodstock thing. I hadn't heard about this Grandpa Gene theory and I don't think it happened. I think it's something more with Betty, something to do with her mother.
I think Roger and Betty should have just taken their misplaced anger out on each other and slapped each other for an hour last night.
Roger's objections to working with Honda, and especially Joan's "You fought to make the world a safer place. Now it is." reminded me of the mosque/Ground Zero debate.

I just looked it up. This season started out in late '64. So if Sally is 10, that would make her 14 at the time of Woodstock. Probably not gonna work. Oh well.

Eh, I could see them going there with her, especially if she's in HS and hooks up with a group of older friends.

Holyfuck have you seen this? Here's a nice picture of Christina Hendricks looking adorable:
Then there's (presumably) a closeup of her feet. OMG I AM NEVER WEARING HEELS AGAIN IF THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS. I want to buy her a nice foot spa.

Bunions are a cruel mistress. I have the beginnings of one thanks to pregnancy. It sucks.
ETA: I thought this was a very good episode. Roger's rage was good stuff. And I loved Peggy riding in circles on the motorbike around the soundstage. Didn't the competitive guy's wife seem much older than him when they were in Benihana? Bad casting. More like his mother than his wife.
Speaking of casting, am I the only one waitng for a Teri Hatcher episode? Every time you turn around another person from Desparate Housewives shows up on Mad Men, or vice versa.
Rival ad guy is a gay neighbor on DH, Sterling dated Gabrielle, Joan's husband was on last season, and there's another one that I can't think of right now.

Oh yeah, WAY too old. I did love Bethany's dress at Benihana. But I fear I'd look like I was going to a prom, circa 1997.
