Potential Mad Men Spoiler*******

The meditation center that Rachel McAdams visits is the same place Don Draper ends up at right? Is her dad Don Draper?
Watching that scene, I kept experiencing a flashback to Twelve Monkeys.

Yeah, David Morse has done a hundred roles, but the creepy scientist in 12M just sticks with me.

She actually OFFERRED the fellatio, and it was not thinly-disguised.

My guess is that he declined (probably because he didn't have his Viagra handy) and gave her the ticket. In desperation to avoid "more trouble" with the law (she was under house arrest of some sort), she reversed the story on him, ex post facto.

I would be surprised if Vaughn set-up the rape. That would be some diabolical ****, and they seem to be playing him as a good guy at this point. There would be no gray if they go that direction, he'd be completely hated.

The more likely "twist" in my opinion, is the guy he tipped him off to is just some guy he wanted whacked and not the rapist.

I wouldn't be surprised, however, if that was really the guy. I also wouldn't be surprised if there was no blackmailing at all by Vaughn. He seems to be the type who tries to make sure everybody is happy and everybody wins, not the type to pressure his own crew through intimidation tactics. His comment about "everybody getting touched" makes me think any dastardly deeds performed by the cop on behalf of Vaughn were done after the cop came to Vaughn and asked him for a job, or for help in exchange for a job, most likely when his wife leaves him and probably sends him on a binger.

Why do you say that? I don't think they made it clear other than apparently she accused him of "solicitating" a bj to not arrest her.
yeah, I think he refused and still gave her a ticket, then her lawyer made accusation that the officer solicited the BJ. But they have to put him on leave because there is some other **** going on (I think they said Black Mountain or something) so CHP is being cautious.
I suspect that "Black Mountain" is part of his backstory ... probably from his military days ... or maybe he spent some time as a civilian contractor (think "Blackwater").

Seems like the flashback when Colin was in the Sheriff's dpt was a one-time flashback, right? I figured they might be going parallel timelines like season one but we didn't see anything else from back then.

Divorced dad. My guess is that his kid goes to school outside his jurisdiction, such that when Aspen's dad goes to the local PD to file his assault report ... no one fits the description.

I'm hoping it's Rachel McAdams
we have established in her first scene that her character is into non-conventional acts of love. Is there a gambling site with an over/under of Rachel nude scenes for this series?

In case y'all missed it, McAdam's dad calls her by her full name, Antigone. If anyone else needed a refresher in Greek mythology:

quote:
In Greek mythology, Antigone (/ntni/ an-ti-g-nee; Greek: ) is the daughter of Oedipus and his mother, Jocasta. The meaning of the name is, as in the case of the masculine equivalent Antigonus, "worthy of one's parents" or "in place of one's parents".

Apologize if it has already been discussed. But, what was up with the woman floating in what looked like a bowl of milk? That was so strange to me, I know the entire house and had crazy stuff/imagery in it (trying to keep this SFW). Could have sworn Farrell said something like, "please tell me you saw that". I didn't understand why the house was all torn up either? I definitely need to watch the episode again.

And the green haired sister is named Athena.

It's also the name of a play by Sophocles about the person of the same name. I'll let SparkNotes take it from there.

quote:
Antigone is the play's tragic heroine. In the first moments of the play, Antigone is opposed to her radiant sister Ismene. Unlike her beautiful and docile sister, Antigone is scrawny, sallow, withdrawn, and recalcitrant brat. . . . Antigone has a boyish physique and curses her girlhood. She is the antithesis of the melodramatic heroine, the archetypal blond ingnue as embodied in Ismene. Antigone has always been difficult, terrorizing Ismene as a child, always insisting on the gratification of her desires, refusing to "understand" the limits placed on her. Her envy of Ismene is clear. Ismene is entirely of this world, the object of all men's desires. Thus she will at one point rob Ismene of her feminine accoutrements to seduce her fianc Haemon. She fails, however, as such human pleasures are not meant for her.

Interesting, at any rate.

Guys - do yourself a favor and look up the webcam sister, Leven Rambin. She's from H-Town. I'm hoping that she is this season's Daddario.


Leven Rambin is dating Jim Parrack (Hoyt from True Blood), and I'm pretty sure his sister went to A&M for a couple of years before transferring to Tech.

If at all possible, can we keep the season 1 spoilers off of this thread? I still need to catch up on it. Many thanks.

That was the biggest loose end of the entire show for me. Nice.

That's not really a loose end. That's people seeing a bunch of stuff they think is related that isn't.

Why would it? It's a loose end from the first season.

Are you the kid in English class that couldn't get past the idea of animal farm not actually being about animals?

In the flashback scene in the bar, the shorter, longer haired thug is none other than Ronnie Blevins, Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 1999. He's making a decent living playing tough guys.

I like your theory too, but the wife gave a description of the rapist. I guess Vince somehow read the report and found a way to buy a cop? She could have lied about the description out of fear.

Another twist is that the guy didn't really rape her. There is always the story of a wife who gets caught banging a guy and cries rape to save herself.
