Uh Oh, It's THAT Episode
6 September 2023
Uh oh, it's the Roger in black-face episode, which didn't get anyone extremely angered until 2020, after which a warning was put in front of the episode, explaining why it's still there...

The truth is, this being the epitome of a binging series, you can't take away anything without ruining the pace. And Roger... he's the fan-favorite character, so him doing this really rocked the Mad Man world... but, again, well after the show had ended. Either way, it's a pretty weird scene...

And back on the ranch, in the office, Peggy and Kinsey (and that little annoying guy who used to hang with the tall gay guy) get stoned, which of course has them eating. But at least they also think in eclectic circles and get deep... or so they think...

The whole eating thing on pot actually happens when you start coming down (before realizing it) and your taste buds return, and you have dry-mouth, and food tastes better than ever and, anyhow... sometimes getting stoned on TV or movies is cliche...

To people who never got high, watching pot-smoking in the media seems like the total purpose is to enjoy food... So an entire generation changed the culture because of a drug that makes you eat food? Anyhow, it's no different than drinking... after enough drinks you eat like a pig...

Anyhow, some of the most awkward scenes, which makes this show stand out, are with Gene, Betty's dad, a scary guy, actually, unpredictable, which means a pretty good character.
