Kim's Marathon Diary: Learning To Love Willicia


Recommended Posts

Oh man I so agree about Elizabeth Reaser on all counts. When she turned up on Mad Men....my groan scared my cat. But Tammy-- ugh. I guess now the shorthand for Tammy is that she's a "cool girl". A cool girl with a little girl's name, but oh so sexy, she's just one of the guys, she's a sports reporter! No and no and no.

I think you're reading too much into Tammy. The point of the character was she couldn't be a threat to Alicia. As I recall, Will had three girlfriends and none of them were serious. They weren't as smart or accomplished as Alicia, and if they were they were corrupt. I don't think the audience is supposed to like her at all. She has to be just good enough that the audience doesn't think less of Will for being with a loser, and that's it.

 

Besides, all the women are "one of the guys". Alicia, Diane, Kalinda. They succeed in male-dominated jobs and culture, and like to drink, and are sexy.
