On a completely non-Mad Men related note



Can I get an amen up in here for Gillian Zisner? 90210 has dealt with a cancer storyline over the last two seasons with surprising aplomb for a teen soap, and Zisner’s character Ivy has been the one to carry said storyline. She's always been fantastic on the show – utterly well-cast – but her combination of fearlessness and vulnerability in the past few episodes has been unexpectedly affecting. Again, it’s just something you just don’t usually see from shows like this, so it takes you by surprise when it happens. I haven’t been this moved by a teen soap since Ryan had to go find Marissa in Chino on the OC.  Just kidding, nothing can top that. Nothing ever again for the rest of my life.
