Is there some sort of quota for totally extraneous, skin-crawling, blood-curdling moments that Mad Men needs to fulfill per season? Despite all the moments that made me want to drink myself into a Freddy Rumsen-esque stupor, The Runaways was a great episode. And there are only two left! Something has to be said for a show that riles you up and leaves you hanging. Thats good TV. <\/p>\n
Lets get started: <\/p>\n
WHAT IS WRONG WITH GINSBERG?! <\/p>\n
We all know that the concept of a super computer is frightful a digital journalist like me fears them daily but this was too much. Driven mad by the hum of technology and paranoid from the sight of Lou and Jim Cutler canoodling in the air conditioned lair, Ginsberg arrives at Peggys apartment to work and decides to make a move. They need to procreate, because the super computer is turning everyone homosexual! If there was a way of doing it without having sex, Id do it! he says. She gives that one a firm pass. <\/p>\n
Ginsberg then takes it upon himself to slice off his nipple and hands it to Peggy in a small box. This may have been a deranged romantic gesture of sorts. Its my nipple. Its the valve, he says proudly. Hes removed from the office on a stretcher with restraints. Get out while you can! he yells back at Peggy. And he was just starting to grow on us, that Ginsberg. <\/p>\n
Remember nice little Stephanie from California? <\/p>\n
Shes eight months pregnant. And a hippie! And her baby daddys in jail and hes comin to getcha! So naturally Don decided to give Stephanie his (Megans) home address in the canyons and invited her over for some R&R and cash. The dreams of Sharon Tate are still alive in Laurel Canyon. <\/p>\n
You are truly magnetic. What do you do? Didnt Don tell you? Im an actress. <\/p>\n
Shes talking about your aura, Megan. <\/p>\n
Do you have any meat? Ive been dreaming about it. <\/p>\n
