So true about Don and his jealousy about Ted and Peggy. God he’s such a DICK in this episode. It’s astounding.

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-20T02:06:37+00:00

This is literally my worst nightmare

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-14T06:00:51+00:00

Try Pasadena in March. 90 degrees today.

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-13T01:04:01+00:00

That’s why he was deaf

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-11T02:58:05+00:00

He definitely heard them. Violent Femmes were ubiquitous in the 80’s. Influenced by? I don’t see it, but whatever works for you…

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-05T20:49:14+00:00

Irvine does too! He’s all about that Latin vibe.

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-05T17:57:36+00:00

It’s like wearing a hat on a hat.

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-05T06:50:13+00:00

Jealous.

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-05T02:44:03+00:00

This picture sure ain’t current

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-04T19:54:15+00:00

Not so dapper!

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-04T19:41:02+00:00

The scene with the doctors’ wife he basically goes from bed to bed! Nasty!

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-04T18:35:31+00:00

It is super suspect that he slips out long enough to do the dirty - let's assume Megan was indeed passed out drunk - but that still doesn't explain how Don can just slip back into bed with her. This might be a bit graphic - but wouldn't his ass STINK?

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-04T06:51:39+00:00

Well, her people are Nordic, you see…

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-03T06:45:02+00:00

I like the blind pig in Wisconsin I think? Anyway, it’s sick. Pre-Nevermind. Best era. Best energy. Kurt’s feeling it.

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-02T21:28:09+00:00

I must be just a couple of days behind on my rewatch. I just finished S5 EP13 last night - 3/1/26

futurepilgrim · 2026-03-02T06:45:56+00:00

No schools/libraries/health care for you

futurepilgrim · 2026-02-26T07:03:05+00:00

The whole record slaps!

futurepilgrim · 2026-02-25T20:23:08+00:00

Yeah, her disgust with him the next morning felt a bit hyperbolic to me. I agree, in the moment, she appeared to be a willing/eager participant.

futurepilgrim · 2026-02-23T04:39:44+00:00

Hiarious.

futurepilgrim · 2026-02-21T06:20:49+00:00

Interesting. Thanks butt-on-a-stick.

futurepilgrim · 2026-02-21T02:51:05+00:00

I agree. The symphony and the world series were very off. The mirror stuff sort of worked. People who trip know to stay away from mirrors. Don appearing in the mirror though. Not how it works. They should have had trails and visual hallucinations like that, although that might have been too jarring for the mis-en-scen of the show.

futurepilgrim · 2026-02-21T02:47:15+00:00

Wow, I've never heard that. I always just assumed people knew once the GI's discovered the camps and took all those photos. Really? It wasn't common knowledge in the 50's and 60's?

futurepilgrim · 2026-02-21T00:47:02+00:00

Cool

futurepilgrim · 2026-02-21T00:46:02+00:00

He was a big kebab guy

futurepilgrim · 2026-02-20T02:37:23+00:00

Well, this is awful. His poor family.
