Trudy

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I must have watched Season 3 reruns close to a hundred times hoping to find some clue that I might have missed that will indicate where season 4 will bring. In the Season Finale, I couldn't help but admire Trudy's loyalty/support to Pete. She really does stand out among the women in the Madcast. Although she's lead a fairly charmed life before her marriage to Pete, it hasn't really detracted from her character and strong family values. She's the polar opposite of Betty because no matter what Pete does wrong, she will not leave him. Pete certainly doesn't deserve this type of love from anyone. I really believe that if Trudy wasn't in his life, Pete would be an even more horrible man than the one we've seen. Maybe she's changing him? What do you think?

Interesting topic, manhattangirl36....I would sort of agree with you up until the point Pete had his "latest" go-round (to quote Duck!) with that au pair....plus he blackmailed her!

....what a skunk.

Plus he had that ongoing situation (off & on) with Peggy.

I'd like to think that little toddler of his and Peggy's will find his way into Trudy and Pete's lives, but it's pretty far fetched by now, I guess.

Yes manhattangirl36, I agree completely.

She's really hot, too.

I, too, agree that Pete would be "a little boy lost" without Trudy's guidance and support. Not only is she the dutiful and loving wife, but also the nurturing mother that Pete probably didn't have as a child.

I think Trudy, in a way, is taking care of Pete like she would if she had a child of her own. For example, when she calls from the bedroom..."Pete may speak to you please"...after Don and Roger come to see him. Then, at the same time, Pete may look to Trudy as wife and mother-figure....He tells Trudy she shouldn't leave him alone again after his disgusting fling with au pair. Pete definitely needs guidance and Trudy is just the person for that.

I posted this quite a while ago, but I still think that the au pair with leave a little souvenier in a pink or blue blanket-lined basket on Pete's doorstep about nine months after their "get together" (after her dress stain fiasco)....right before she takes off to board the first boat back to Germany.

And knowing Trudy, she will gladly take the little darling in ~~ whether Pete will level with her about why he/she was left on their particular doorstep is another matter......hmmmmm.......

I must confess, out of all the female characters in Mad Men, I feel Trudy is the truly spotless one. I mean, her quirks are at worst the idealistic views of young girl just trying to be 'good'.

Plus, I'm in love with Allison Brie.

I am sure your head is still in a tail spin right now after viewing Season 3. We would love to hear what your thoughts are about each episode, character, scene, etc.expert advisor

The history that surrounded women like Peggy evolving into feminist jounalists of the 70's stands in drastic contrast to that certain sense of the early-sixtys naivete and sophistication that made that time both captivating and significant . It was the best and worst of times at once.

A big thank you to the staff at Victoria Gardens Angus & Robertson, especially to Terry who organised the event (and for posing with me for the photo!). They were very friendly and were all prepared with a table, huge display and even a mike to announce the signing.

Ignore the Blair Witch Project-style backlash: First-time writer-director Oren Peli's Paranormal Activity (which debuted at the 2008 Slamdance Film Festival but wasn't released until this year) is the little fright flick that could. Brittle young lovers Micah and Katie move into a shiny new townhouse that comes with things that go bump in the night. Skeptical Micah sets up a camera in their bedroom and records a whole lot of unsettling stuff that occurs while they're asleep... It's a low-tech, DIY triumph of imagination over budget ($11,000.00) and it's seriously creepy.tower defense
