On "The O.C." Characters, In Order
In other news, I'd never seen that SNL sketch, being a furriner, and I will confidently state that it is the best thing of all time.

On "The O.C." Characters, In Order
Any O.C. list where Julie is not no. 1 is irredeemably flawed. 'Is this a booty call?'
Furthermore, Caleb's full and legal name is 'Jim from Neighbours'. Just sayin'.

On What's Your Most Played Song?
@Leon Saint-Jean According to last.fm, The Pogues are my most-ever listened-to band. And I don't remember any of those plays.

On Mad Men's Megan Draper Reads (And Wears) 1966 'Vogue'
@Olivia2.0 I sort of see it as a commentary on women's situation in general; Megan is Betty, but 10/15 years later. What's wrong with Betty is clearly supposed to be The Feminine Mystique's 'problem with no name'- she got a husband and children and a nice house, but it's not enough to make her happy. Whereas Megan, only a decade on, is able to stand up to Don and say that what he's doing is bullshit, and that she doesn't want to give up on what she planned to do before they got married. She's benefited from coming from a half-generation later. I think also making her French Canadian and have liberal parents is supposed to make the values dissonance more plausible. It makes me more sympathetic to Betty, rather than less so to Megan.
