it was sorta weird how my interpretation went from "Lane doesn't trust black people" >> "Lane needs money" >>> "Lane is fishing for a date from a whore" >>> "is Lane gonna blackmail this dude or something?" lol

I'm glad Peggy's yid boyfriend is back; he's dreamy.
I thought his "Oh I write for underground newspapers -- you probably haven't heard of them" was such a douchebag moment.

When he was fishing for money to give his wife the next day, the photo was stashed between the bills in his wallet.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 26 March 2012 17:10 (twelve years ago) link
I was expecting the woman to show up for the wallet and be older/overweight/or in some other way different than the photo he was perving over.
― Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Monday, 26 March 2012 17:12 (twelve years ago) link
ya, it was pretty funny that it was the dude who turned out to be a shlub
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Monday, 26 March 2012 17:13 (twelve years ago) link
The photo looked to be a bit older, so I liked the idea he had built up the idea of this woman that doesn't exist.
― Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Monday, 26 March 2012 17:15 (twelve years ago) link
it would sort of be the obvious thing to do if she showed up looking different/dumpy, for some reason having it be the guy was just great
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Monday, 26 March 2012 17:16 (twelve years ago) link
very madmaniacal plot turn.
The other thing about it that made me laugh was that she sounded a little bit like the mom on Bob's Burgers, so I kept imagining Lane having a flirty phone conversation with this:

Mr Pryce's conversation with the girl in the photo made me want to crawl out of my skin, just for awkwardness.
Him and Joan are wonderful, and yeah I had a few alarm bells early on but he just SO loves her professionally I was like, oh of course he would never. Sigh of relief.

Loved Pete's shocked reaction at seeing Peggy holding baby Kevin.
Very curious about Lane's behaviour - why so broke? Definitely thought he was going to steal the money in the wallet. Actually I Went 'ugh racist' 'ugh thief' 'ugh perv!' but the wife's money questions kept coming up - I guess he put most of his money into SCDP, whereas the others had larger fortunes to begin with.. I guess no one's really getting paid yet?
An entertaining episode, but I would've preferred maybe an hour of 'the gangs' all here!' catchup and then something to actually happen.

Also Roger's open disdain for his wife is kinda lolzy/kinda O_o

re: wild 60s fashion, I think you guys are wildly underestimating American public's willingness to embrace crazy fashion shit. after all, we did it once before, and if any show could re-kickstart hideous late 60s clothing trends it would be Mad Men.
― Mordy, Monday, 26 March 2012 18:30 (twelve years ago) link
Lane thing with the girl/schlubby mobster seems an obvious long con, yet to play out.
Nice! Missed this. Also, love the baby names. Kevin. Tammy.

Yes, it almost makes me forgive the idea of a woman born in 1940 named Megan.

Apparently uncommon in Canada, too:http://www.babynamewizard.com/archives/2010/10/mad-men-and-megan-spotlight-on-a-misunderstood-name
As I mentioned in a comment on that post, Bethany and Allison -- two of Don's conquests last season -- also had names that were also basically unknown in the U.S. (i.e., not among the top 1,000 names for girls) before the end of WWII.

It's funny, I thought the "And they call us savages!" line at the beginning of the episode was really corny but it turns out it was a real line from an nytimes story on the incident.
