It's one of those posts where I beg your assistance

So. Replies and such forthcoming, but first...

A day or so ago, I finished up with S2 of Mad Men--a rambly post is no doubt going to pop up at some point: OMG BEST SHOW EVER!--and I'm now catching up with S3 and all is joy and rapture.

Except that I kind of want a .gif of Betty Draper SHOOTING THE PIGEONS (I can't imagine a more perfect scene) for my journal. More technologically savvy friends of mine, does anyone know how I would go about finding such a thing? I don't even know where to look. Thanks in advance to anyone who has an idea!

Also: I don't care what the damn show is called, it's all about the women.

[ETA] May is a goddess! Hells yeah!

Mad Men is indeed a thing of joy. How are you enjoying S3 so far?

Also, hope you don't mind I added you. I love your fic; and I love that you love Pete Campbell ;)

Loving it! It continues to be awesome.

No, that's great! I kind of hate Pete a lot...but he's so compelling! He's this horrible, sniveling, selfish kind of guy, but every once in a while he'll do or say something so vulnerable. The creation of that character is worthy of praise.

Ah, well, yes, that's what I meant ;) I don't think anybody could really say they *like* Pete Campbell as a person. But as a fictional character? Gold. I am probably a little more sympathetic to Pete than most though I don't expect much from him. And VK completely sells it. I wouldn't trust that character with anybody else.

The entire show is just so well-cast, but Pete in particular would be utterly impossible without VK. I literally can't imagine anyone else playing that part, and I don't say that often.

VK is a talented guy :)
