So last season when Megan said that her mother's skin care regime was just to splash cold water on her face.... we saw all the make-up her mother wears a few episodes ago. So was that just a lie? There is no way splashing cold water on her face will get all that stuff off. So was she being a bit strategic then?

Her mom seems like a "do as I say, not as I do" sort.

i bet when they wrote that line of megan's they didn't even know where the character was going, let alone that her mother would turn out to be famous actor julia ormond
that or megan is a stupid lying bitch i hate her!!!

Of course she was lying--wouldn't you if you came from such miserable stock?
But really, goole otm.

I'd choose Megan's mom over Megan solely for animalistic reasons.

In a real soap opera, the main character's marriage would not have taken place off-screen between seasons. It would have been milked for all it was worth onscreen.

just rewatched this, Megan's quote is "i think you've seen most of it" which I am definitely taking as:1) "since you just walked in without being invited"2) "but you'll never see the bedroom"

"you will never see the bedroom" because you ain't never gonna have that man ever again and i will
When this show _is_ soap opera, it is terrible shitty soap opera. This was bad pretty much start to finish this week.

i know no one is talking abt this now but i thought the soap opera thing was more about 'lets just admit a huge part of our enjoyment in this is about getting caught up in the dramatic emotional lives of people portrayed, and isn't really about some high-minded subversion of anything'

really wanted a conversation this week between Joan and Peggy where they said "I'm so MAD at these MEN!"

Peggy interviewing and resigning was so good
― I DIED, Monday, 28 May 2012 05:35 (eleven years ago) link
I was thinking two things during Peggy's physical exit:
"Is Joan going to slip out and actually say goodbye? Nope, guess not.""OH NOES THAT ELEVATOR DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. DON'T DIE! Okay, whew."

what did lane call pete earlier this season? a "grimy little pimp"? and now he really is, and lane's no better. you could argue that lane is worse, since he essentially needed the jaguar deal to go through to cover his embezzlement and he talked joan into a deal that only benefits her if the company is solvent, which might still be questionable even though they got jaguar.
― producer / dj / humanitarian (reddening), Monday, 28 May 2012 05:39 (eleven years ago) link
ha ha i was worried about peggy plummeting to her death too! every time someone uses the elevator now it's very stressful
With two episodes left, I'm wondering a) will Lane get caught? and b) will Don cheat?
Lane might get caught, but I think this will be the only season that Don doesn't cheat (look for that to begin happening next season).
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 May 2012 05:54 (eleven years ago) link
Lane is on suicide watch imo

joan's "meeting" while don pitched jaguar was one of the saddest things i've ever seen on television. horrible, depressing episode, but great, too. loved peggy smiling at the elevator as the kinks kick in.

― "Holy crap," I mutter, as he gently taps my area (silby), Monday, 28 May 2012 06:14 (eleven years ago) link
I felt nauseous throughout, and at the beginning I thought it was so ham-fisted and silly that this would genuinely be the worst episode in the show's history, but even as the cross-cutting between the pitch and Joan's night with that creep featured a speech that was so bloody on-the-nose (DRINK!) it still worked and kind of devastated me. Even that reveal that the conversation with Don in her apartment had already happened should have irked me a lot more than it did. The ending was great though, and I can't stress how awesome the Peggy stuff was, even though I loved having her in that office.

I just hope they can divide the time better than they have with Betty. Though I know the oddness of the storyline was also partly to write in Jones' pregnancy.
