Bob Benson

So Mad Men's season came to an end last night and, much to my delight, the episode was chockfull of Bob Benson.  Bob has quickly turned into a fan favorite.  The actor who plays him is from Farmington Hills, MI, so I like him because he's a Michigander.  But I also like that the show is introducing this uncomfortable, weird, homoerotic thing with Bob and Pete Campbell.  Bob's presence just leaves me with so many questions.  Is Bob really crazy about Pete or is he trying to bring Pete down (and not in a sexual way)?  Does Pete secretly like Bob in a gay way?  Will Bob and Pete ever share the love that dare not speak its name?  What's the deal with Bob and Joan?  Is Manolo really Bob's boyfriend (or ex-boyfriend)?  Did Manolo really toss Pete's mother overboard?  Again, so many questions.  I just hope Bob comes back for the final season.  He's so much more entertaining than son-of-a-whore and marital cheater Don Draper right now.
