Mad Men – “The New Girl” (Robin Veith)
- Bobbie was bearable which I attribute to the character being portrayed as less sexual predator and more rounded person
- Melinda McGraw who plays Bobbie has a resemblance to noughties Madonna
- I was confused by the timeline because I assumed that Bobbie was just staying with Peggy for the day and not until her black eye diminished
- Peggy’s flashbacks were welcome particularly since they ultimately led to my favourite moment of S2 so far when Peggy called Don “Don”
- Betty’s “because we love him” answer to Sally’s question about Don’s salt intake was really poignant
- Pete is just about a complete ass: hee-hawing about his viable sperm and just completely forgetting about his wife’s feelings
- he redeemed himself by not storming out but stopping himself to actually listen to Trudy
- I’m not sure what to make of Don’s new secretary but I do miss sweet, kind useless Lois
- I was most pleased to see Rachel because it closes a door in Don’s life
- I do wish her husband was as good-looking as Don because I don’t want to think of her as settling for second best via pop culture’s shorthand that ordinary looking people are mundane individuals (hello, Susan Boyle)
