alex mack otm

did they even show betty's face in the preview for next week's ep? i remember her voice but no actual image of her

I am cool with less Betty and twice as much Sally

btw Sally is a better actress

the cruelty of truthbomb

Weiner said they shot a bunch of Betty stuff early bcz of pregnancy and it'll basically be salted into the episodes where they have room

salty betty

I do hate her but I would lick her

as lol as that is, kinda otm

baby daddy on show was definitely Don, in real life ~it is a mystery~

just saw this. liked gutkbe's post, and s1ocki's

:)

i lolled when harry asked roger "why do you carry so much cash??"

whores, duh

ballin', iirc

you don't look cool

^^^^^^

betty looks miserable

totally forgot this was on with all my GoT excitement!

lolromney

So they went the Frasier route.

The Lurch and Morticia comment makes more sense now that I've seen the house.

So was Betty wearing her real baby fat or did they just put her in costume?

Loving' the jew.

Also, I think the Who would be more likely to do a Heinz beans ad.

This brings us back to the dinner/supper thread

lolromney part was funny.

Loved watching Pete burn Roger in front of the whole office.

best: Megan gamely saying "yes" in response to something Mrs. Heinz said in just the same way Don gamely says "yes" when he just needs the conversation to continue.

worst: Betty eating ice cream was too """on the nose"""

Don Draper saying "yes" is like my favorite thing about this show

I read this as her previously overstepping/being too modern ("well, don was divorced...") and realizing that "yes" is the correct answer, even if she found work talk exciting from a professional pov.

Didn't Betty "Yes" her way through dinners just like that in season 1 or am I not remembering correctly?

Yeah, but I think she had two modes because I remember her asking which kind of wife she should be a dinner they were going to.

bettybot, meet romneybot!

worry about a season long fat-suit tbh.

the fat is a metaphor for america getting sluggish and needing revolution do u c

She said yes to Mrs. Heinz saying soemething like "We're boring hou, aren't we?", which seemed tactless.

better than peggy's fatsuit

totally lolled at don and harry getting white castle

film wonkery : john slattery is (assuming the DP didn't "actually" direct his episode) a better director than Hamm.

The Tradewinds!

peggy eating Bugles !

betty i mean, damn

-do you want the last one?

-there were twenty! I thought you were getting them for your family

Trade Winds = Spector acolytes/songwriting team

so how do we feel about Ginsberg?

kind of irritating so far. a little too young Woody Allen.

felt like Roger's "When is everything going get back to normal?" / clinging to the ledge while the young kids step on my toes monologue was key

yeah Roger's been dropping hints about jumping out the window for like two seasons.

and of course nothing ever gets "back to normal".

kind of a boring episode. was afraid there was going to be a Mother's Little Helper montage for a second. also lol fat betty
