yakalskovich | Mad Men episode 5.03 -- running commentary

Yep, here's the black secretary -- and Harry is letching at her, of course!
Oh dear -- now we get the beginning of that weight loss conversation/collective yo-yo dieting that's still plaguing us so badly.
Ah, sickness -- it's her thyroid. And she still comes to Don because she is such a clingy, needy personality.
I actually like Betty's fatter look better, but am wondering what the producers did to make JJ look like that.
Oh, Don is grilling that girl for creative inspiration -- very typical of him!
Heee, Harry has the munchies!
Well, the Francises certainly have come up a step from the house Betty and Don lived in!
My sister has a clock like that. However, were those antiques not terribly out of fashion at that time.
Why is Pete acting like the boss? And how did he get that office there?
Nope, Roger, nothing ever 'gets back to normal'. When things start changing, there is no way out except forwards.
Henry is jealous of Don now??
Aha, Michael Ginsberg is a keeper -- we see how he lives.
Nope, I don't like the implication that fat people always eat two whole helpings of ice cream...
