* I actually have something non-negative to say about a BtVS comic -- finally, a Spike/Dawn moment! Aw, Spike flying half-way around the world to Little Bit's deathbed. (Hey, at least it was something).
* Finished re-reading The Great Gatsby last night. Funny how relevant much of it still is. The rich and the hypocritical racist reactionaries never really change, do they?
* Am working on plans to organize my closet. My closet needs lots of re-organizing. It's a cluttered mess.
* Game of Thrones - Granny Tyrell rocks as always. Gendry has now officially become Edric Storm (I actually approve of this. I don't see any reason why Edric's story couldn't be folded into Gendry's. Robert really didn't need two surviving bastard sons, so Gendry pulling double duty works fine. Bonus, it has me looking forward to Davos's plot... which doesn't happen often). The previews scare me though. They aren't really going to show that in Theon's plot, are they?! ::shiver::
* TWOP's Mad Men thread always makes me Grrrr!

Jeesh, people, the misogyny on the show is to analyze not to support! I swear to God, and it is no exaggeration:
-- A couple of weeks ago. Joan fires a secretary for open insubordination and lying. She's then publically reamed for 'going beyond her position' by an underling, overturned by the partners, and the TWOP thread spent days on "How DARE, Joan! Who does she think she is? She had no right!" (at that time, I postulated that had Don done the exact same thing, fandom would be rushing to proclaim how right he was...)
How right I was...
-- Don, in a fit of pique over having his authority questioned by a client, unilaterally dumps the client while giving him the proverbial middle finger, causing significant financial upset to the firm, and possibly endangering the finances full stop (had other characters not pulled in a new client). Joan tells Don off for his never, ever thinking of the consequences, and just doing whatever the hell he wants. Fandom's reaction: "How DARE, Joan! That client was questioning Don's authority! He should NOT put up with that. He was 100% correct in what he did! Who does Joan think she is?!"
So, in summary, Joan fires a secretary for insubordination - how dare she! Don fires a client for questioning his authority, costing the firm $10,000,000 in billing and it's 'atta-boy! How DARE Joan!"
Grr! Mad Men thread.
It's funny how everything Don does is somehow defendable. ( Don ranting behind the cut )
I want Peggy to succeed. Joan to make millions. Trudy to find a fantastic guy. Roger to never (really) change. And Don to fall on his ass with no one else cleaning up his mess for him. Oh, and Megan can kick him to the curb at that exact moment too. I hope in her fictional soap career that she becomes Diedre Hall and Susan Lucci.
