Review: It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia - Mac and Dennis Break Up {TV Squad}
Nov 13th 2009 12:44PM My wife made a similar comment when I tried to get her to watch Crank 2. I told her there was no chance she couldn't follow the plot because she missed the first one...

Review: FlashForward - The Gift {TV Squad}
Nov 6th 2009 1:38PM As for the daughter...dad just got 35lbs. of remains that DNA matched his daughter. They could have been her legs. Granted, it'd be strange that she didn't bleed out when her legs were severed, but it would make the story work. If she stands up on her own two feet next episode, I'll join you in calling shenanigans!

So why is Conrad Hilton a character on Mad Men? {TV Squad}
Nov 3rd 2009 5:31PM Though this is an interesting bit of Mad Men trivia, the Paris comment was downright dumb. You are obviously not aware that Paris is Conrad's son's son's daughter. That makes him a great grandfather to Paris...and a distant one at that. Conrad died in 1979 and Paris wasn't even born until 1981 so he never even saw her as a baby bump...
Wikipedia is your friend...
Also, he's due to get the bump from President to become the chairman of the board in 1966...it's 1963 in Mad Men time so Connie's days on the show are numbered...

What will Betty Draper do? {TV Squad}
Oct 21st 2009 9:38PM This is going to play out over the course of many episodes if not multiple seasons. Mad Men doesn't do quick reveals and when it does they don't shatter the flow and upend everything. No matter how shocking, every twist and turn is handled in a natural, slow evolution.
Also, keep in mind, women of the day suffered in quiet shame. They were fully subordinate to their breadwinning husbands. We've already seen Betty sweep it under the rug. She may not be happy with her place, but Betty's no bellweather. She'll stick with the mode of the times and maintain her bored housewife role. Sure she may actually try her hand at infidelity, but she just can't be anything except pretty, subservient and cowed. She just doesn't know how.
What I'm surprised nobody is talking about is the hints that Don's going to be freed from his contract when Sterling Cooper is sold only to hang his own shingle. We've already had hints of defections from Sterling Cooper. You can't tell me Joan and Sal are gone for good. A big hint was during the 4th of July meeting when the new organizational chart was laid out by the Brits...Don was sketching an American flag...on independence day. He's planning staging his own revolution. He's way to good at advertising to flush his whole "new life".
Don will create a super-agency with the best of Sterling Cooper and they will use this vehicle during the final season to usher in the societal revolution which is pending. Women's lib. The "outing" of gay America. The upending of normal society. Don's agency will thrive in the turmoil.
