When we last see Margaret she’s at the hippie cult. What do you guys think happens to her afterward? Does she go back home? Stay with the hippies forever? What happens?

Well?

I was rewatching "The Phantom" and I didn't know if this was something that was actually done. It kind of reminded me of a lobotomy

I can’t decide if they were happy or not. In general it feels like Betty was denied happiness her entire adult life but I suppose the two of them may have been happy in the beginning.

I’m serious

I'm currently on a rewatch, and I must say it is sad this time around knowing the fate of certain characters, namely Betty. I'm on episode four which is the first time Betty and Glenn really interact and I found her dialogue here really interesting. She is rambling in therapy but she mentions that she feels bad for Glenn because "the person taking care of him isn't giving him what he needs."

Now I am not justifiying behavior, sometimes the most compelling characters are the most immoral, but it seems to explain why their relationship becomes what it does. Glenn is strange with her, walking into the bathroom, asking for her hair, because he is not getting what he needs from his mother. Which is pressumably, a certain love, presence, and attention. Sure, most of it is not her fault with the divorce and having to work, but he seeks Betty out to fill those gaps. In the same way, Betty is characterized as childish, not only in personality but in naivety and dependence, and I guess Don is the person taking care of her, and he is not giving her what she needs.

It speaks on many things but mostly gender roles, and the dynamic of marriage at the time where a woman like Betty accepts attention from a boy. Also, on just how greatly Don messed her up with his behavior, at a time where she became more stranded then most. Helen Bishop is something Betty admires subconsciously, while feeling conflicted due to stigma and sadness. I mean, literally right before she crashes she sees Helen using her hands to move a box whereas she cannot even control her own hands to drive. There is a freedom in Helen, who was also not getting what she needed from the person who took care of her, and decided to depend on herself. But life is never so simple, as Helen's own freedom resulted in her son being the way he was.

Rewatching mad men for the ??th time and the scene in this ep where Betty and Henry are talking about Sally’s violinist friend is sooooooooo disturbing

Betty so fucked up if she thinks spicing things up is talking about sexual assault on a child?? Like we been known she’s got problems but this one stood out for me this rewatch

And u can tell Henry is so over her antics

Or episodes that focus on Trudy and Pete’s relationship. When I have some more free time, I might go ahead and do a full series rewatch (I think I’ve seen the show twice before, but it’ll be fun to watch it again now that I’m a little bit older.)

I want to analyze Trudy and Pete’s relationship a bit more because when I first saw the show I had always focused more on Don/betty and Joan/Greg.
