Mad Men episode 5.08 -- running commentary


  • Megan has a secret of some sort. Interesting...
  • Life insurance? Skis? Are we getting a Chekov's gun for Pete?
  • Megan seems to have a major secret, and she's already being found out.
  • Oh, and Pete starts a fling with that neglected housewife. Pete could never say no if 'female' was on offer...
  • Megan still wants to be an actress, and she could do that not!cream ad: - that would be perfect for her! She should try and do it! That way, she could have her cake and eat it. Also, I think the acting thing now is due to what her father said the last time.
  • Now Beth says no, Pete of course wants her again. Blokes!!
  • Didn't actors make their breaks on commercials back then? I mean, Brad Pitt came from a blue jeans commercial in the early 90s! So why doesn't Megan try and pick that path??
  • I totally fail to see how she totally fails to see that advertising and acting is a friggin' perfect combination! She could do both.
  • Bad elevator door malfuction? Another Chekov's gun? WTF??
  • OMG no NO Pete!! Do you have a death wish or something? Cheating husbands are THE WORST when they fond themselves being cheated on! It's called 'double standards', you know. You have plenty of those yourself!
  • What?? Peggy just told Don to shut up??
  • Now, Pete was just used the way he used to use women. Bad luck, boy. Everything turns around this season. People turn into who used to be their idol or rival. Or their mothers. And then, there is the malfunctioning elevator door. Who will die there before the season is out?
