We’ve been promised revelations. I’m excited. The last episode 5 we saw was 5G. Which was kind of HOLY CRAP as far as revelations go.
Whatever happens, I guarantee we’ll be surprised.
Any and all comments are welcome. Thread is for before, during and after.

1) They gave porn to Dennis Quaid in The Right Stuff. Same-ish time period.
2) Pretty much.
Re: The Pete /Porn scene.
My very favorite choice for the Emmy for editing:
Pete picking up the porn magazine, heading to the chair – what's that sound?- cut to Roger with the paddle ball game, just like Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits.
Oh! And congratulations for being our record-breaking 400th comment on a single thread.
ooh, a Misfits reference. I like.
I know I’m really late on this, but I don’t think Trudy is really infertile. The viewers got this info second-hand and I could totally see her taking the blame to preserve Pete’s manhood – he’s had a difficult year. I think she expected more sympathy from him when she said that – perhaps that’s part of what she “didn’t think through” when she decided to take the blame. He’s immature and completely self-absorbed.
PLUS, for some reason I never thought he was really the father of Peggy’s baby. This would make for a great twist on the “Who’s the daddy” mystery, no? Perhaps there is something more to the sibling rivalry in her family than we’ve seen.
