Also, it's totally wrong that this scene makes me craaave backstory-era X-Files fic...How old is the actress, anyway? Is she an Older Woman? Damn, that's kind of cool.
These two comments juxtaposed are cracking me up, because Bobbi is played by Melinda McGraw, Scully's little sister.
And I have a feeling he just completely missed the point of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, but I haven't actually seen it. Thoughts? Well, it looks like Pete saw it as kind of a "twist ending" or maybe a mystery, but thematically the movie is about identity, and how who you "are" often depends on who people perceive you to be.
That piece of film and narration is how tv stations used to sign off in the '60s.
Putting the dog outside, though, that is kind of genuinely heart-hurty. I don't see quite what it's doing in this episode, but it is.Same reason Don had to send Sally away from the bathroom. The dog gives unadulterated admiration. You can't be less-than-perfect in front of that. Sally was
( ... )
I know! (And bwee, thank you, I was totally blanking on her name. *imdb's* And, yes, she's eight years older than Jon Hamm. Is that not kind of fabulous?)
Ahhh, yes, I thought it might be something along those lines. You = smrt.
... is it REALLY? God, that's too perfect.
And, yes, one supposes that makes sense. Duck still bores me, but it makes sense.
And, yeah, I love deliberately arty camera work, is the thing. (If I ever get my own TV series, my word will be law that at least one scene in every episode will be shot in mirrors, at a funny angle, via surveillance camera, or through a fishtank. Because I love it when people do that, is why.)
And so this is the episoded about how trying to define other people, and trying to define yourself in relationship to other people, in simplistic, (really kind of literally) black-and-white terms is an enterprise doomed to failure? I can get behind that.
Please come back and say more. SMARTEST EPISODE EVER.

Deliberately cheesy background-to-groping footage FTW
