    Kari as the Fugitive?

    OK, let's run with it, for A&E. Dog as Gerard.

    Or if he's too old to run around the world all season, how about Jesse Ventura? #kariferrell

    In reply to Mad Men: The Night of Don's Reckoning
    When Don said "I'll take the kids", I almost fell out laughing. As if Betty gives a shit. She hates those kids. I wonder why Don is so upset about the divorce. They were both miserable. Now he can fuck whoever he wants without all the lying and sneaking. Maybe that's why he wanted to stay married. The excitement of sneaking around made the sex that much better.

    I've had it with the Orthodox Jews and the Jews who do nothing to stop them. Enough with their holier than thou mishegoss.

    In reply to Questionnaire: Are You a Jew?
    On the one hand, I'm a bacon-loving tattooed Jew who hasn't been to Temple in well over a year and doesn't know his yud from his gimel.

    On the other hand, my grandfather's hobby is rewriting his will, so as far as he knows, I heard the shofar blast, I'm trying to keep Kosher, I fasted on Yom Kippur (although I didn't have a chance to go through my apartment with candle and feather looking for chometz) and sure, next summer I'll go to Israel (but only if the Palestinians aren't doing too much terrorism).

    Last time I checked, lying through your teeth to your grandfather doesn't make you any less a Jew. #thejews

    I was particularly proud of Peggy in this episode. She's gone from carrying a baby to term without even realizing it to upwardly mobile career girl. And yay for the return of Joan! #madmen

    In reply to Seth MacFarlane Makes Fun of Deaf Actress to Her (Poker) Face
    In the words of the often-overquoted Sigmund Freud, "sometimes a banana... is just a banana."

    The entire overwrought and overlong skit is simply the setup for Alex Borstein to deliver her "the phone just rang and rang" line and for Marlee Matlin to flip her off. Nothing more. Seriously. That's all it is.

    I'm pretty sure I wrote this skit over 25 years ago for a high school drama class. We didn't really shred things back then, perhaps someone found my script in a dumpster and gave it to Seth McFarlane. Yep, that explains it perfectly. #sethmacfarlane

    What did anyone else make of Don's little speech about everything -- includng selling -- being different after Dallas? I wonder how will it change his approach to advertising? Any advertising scholars out there know whether there really was a change in approach, or -- just like 9/11 didn't really mean The End of Irony -- was there no lasting effect? #madmen

    @naugahydeinplainsight: Before this episode I thought everything was pointing to the End of Don (in many ways)--that he had created this perfect little image and life, but as the world crumbled around him he would fall apart (note the several terrified looks on his face in the past two episodes, expressions we hadn't seen from granite Don.) In this episode, though, he seems to be getting it--becoming a little more flexible, conciliatory and prescient. When he looks at the room at the end of the episode, he sees that this is his new family, and seems almost excited about it. Don is, after all, a survivor, maybe he's energized by the opportunity to create something real.
    Television remained in denial in the '60s ("Gilligan's Island" and "The Beverly Hillbillies" are coming soon) and not until '67 and '68, with "The Smothers Brothers" and "Laugh In" did the first cracks begin to appear (and the news began showing more raw footage of Vietnam). But the '60s were true glory years for advertising, which became much more creative (DDB's "Lemon" ad for VW was 1960) and thought provoking rather than just announcing to people what to think. Creatively, this is when the business began to loosen up.

    @naugahydeinplainsight: Don may change a little because of Dallas, but many more closer-to-home things happened to him in one episode that I think Kennedy's death will only minimally affect him. #madmen

    Oddly, I got this real strong family vibe from the closing scenes in the hotel room, and it makes me think the whole damn season has come down to Don trying to find a family where he belongs. (I'm sure others have gotten there before me, but hey . . .)
    He has failed so often -- sometimes its been his fault, other times not -- that with his home life going down the tubes, he was willing to make amends and eat substantial crow to gather his new loved ones around him.

    @naugahydeinplainsight: I think you're exactly right. Don can never get his personal life to work, but his professional life has finally become his personal life. It's triumphant and a little bit sad at the same time. #madmen

    @naugahydeinplainsight: my exact thought too. When Don came out of the bedroom after talking to Betty on the phone and saw his coworkers all crammed into the hotel room working away, you could see his relief at not being alone and a little bit of hope for the future. Great episode. Also, I don't remember Mad Men ever making me cry before, but the divorce scene with the kids just killed me. #madmen

    WOW!!!! They were politically incorrect!!!! Political incorrectness is a sacred, elusive deity who can cure cancer, impregnate Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie simultaneously and grow your penis to the size of a baseball bat!!!! Seth McFarlane has seriously big balls!!!!! Alex Borstein is a Cool Chick!!!! Wait, inspiration just struck me!!!!
    Holocaustbabyrapeusedtampon!!!!
    OMG!!! Now I'm a Funny Genius Free Speech Champion American Hero too!!!!

    I will now laugh at how quadriplegics suck at driving. This will make me an Officially Cool Person. Lesser beings, don't forget to high-five each other before you orgasm from the sheer hilarity. And from now on, greet each other with "Deaf people are stupid cos they're like deaf and shit". Every time you say this, a humorless feminist will spontaneously abort her fetus. Hey, you fucking girl, that's a joke. Because it's politically incorrect, you libtard. Look at me mom, I just offended those people!!!! Wow Political Incorrectness, I just came all over my keyboard from that glorious exercise in masturbationand you just bought me a new house?? You are the greatest of demi-gods for a ballsy iconoclast such as myself. #sethmacfarlane

    Next season could start almost a year in the future...as they pointed out it was December 1963......so they could jump ahead almost to 65 where styles etc are starting to change...and the Drapers, well into divorce. Should be fun. #madmen
