Here’s a sample of The Punishment of X-4 by Ken Cosgrove written by Damon Lindelof:
DATE OF INCIDENT: 14 Sagittarius, 2785. LOCATION: Aristophanes Interplanetary Span (“The A Bridge”) CAUSE: Automaton Malfunction.
“Let the transcript reflect the Supervisor cites artificial responsibility.”
“Comrade… you understand that by doing so, The Code requires the presence of an Artificial Intellect for these proceedings?”
“Nephytus, while rich in Gallium, offers a hostile atmosphere and no naturally occurring source of fresh water.”
“The solution seemed obvious… create a commuter colony that would work on Nephytus, but live on Aton.”
“Comrade, in your own words, explain to us the history and function of the Aristophanes Span.”
“The X-4 has a purely binary function. Insert. Or Remove.”
The Cosgroves, who share a mutual enjoyment of poetry and smoking “tea.”
There’s liars and cheaters and then there are the main characters of Mad Men, a collection of individuals so steeped in adultery, secrecy and greed that it’s hard to tell who’s worst. Or is it? At left, we rank each of Mad Men’s key players according to vice.
WAIT WHY ISN’T KEN ON HERE??????
Now someone just needs to do the Photoshop job to add in Kenny.
Behaving badly Surprisingly, Ken Cosgrove, formerly Sterling-Cooper’s resident lothario, hasn’t indulged in a single affair. He’s not above making the occasional lewd remark, but his advances are more often hapless than predatory.
Nature or nurture? Not much is known about Ken’s past, other than that he was raised by middle class parents. The Vermont native has no problem keeping up with his colleagues from wealthier backgrounds, though, and he’s made a name for himself by getting published in the Atlantic Monthly. His success stirs some resentment, mostly from hyper-ambitious Pete, but Ken remains refreshingly levelheaded.
Shot at redemption When Roger urges him to set up a business meeting with his future father-in-law, Ken reveals that he has his priorities in order: he’s not mixing work and his personal life, even if SCDP is on the verge of a financial collapse. Instead, he teams up with Peggy to land Topaz Pantyhose, saving the fledgling agency.

I’m pretty sure this is when Kurt told everyone he was gay. Ken just looks so uncomfortable and like he’s got something to hide.
