"I am so high."
- Peggy Olson
Here's some things I thought:
- Perhaps this season should be subtitled "The Decline
and Fall of the American Empire."
The passages Sally was reading sounded a lot like what has been
happening on Mad Men. "Fashion was the only law, pleasure was the only
pursuit." And, as Gene says,
"you just wait, all hell's gonna break loose."
- We saw our first look at the two-headed monster that is
Pete/Ken: Accounts Manager.
- Ouch! The verbal (but polite) little catfight between Jane
and Joan. Nice hat Jane, you look like a mushroom.
- Seeing Roger Sterling in blackface was more disturbing than
most everything on the last season of Breaking Bad (except for the head on the
tortoise.)
- As Betty discussed her pregnancy with the ladies, it was sad
to see Trudy's look of sorrow at not having children.
- Betty's encounter outside of the ladies room and having a
strange man caress her belly. She seems
to have adopted some of Don's flirting characteristics.
- I like Olive.
- That was a nice little story Don told at the bar. I assume
he felt okay doing it because it was to a stranger.
- I am still sticking by my story that Peggy is destined for
the head of accounts or to replace Don.
Even if she is stoned to the bejesus belt on her way. I loved how she is standing up to the men more. Nice rant about bras and perfume to Orson Welles Kinsey.
- My favorite rum pitch was "Bacar-di Eisenhower."
- Never has an accordion looked more sexy.
- What is this issue with Joan's husband?. The wife said
"whatever happens to Greg at least he got a woman like you." And there was the line about the bad result
and a quick "no shop talk" response.
Maybe he isn't the perfect man after all (aside from already raping his fiancé
on the office floor in Season 2.)
- Who would have thought that Pete and Trudy would be winners
on Dancing with the Stars?
- Kiernan Shipka as Sally Draper deserves some credit for
pitch perfect acting of the shamed and sorry child. The whole set of scenes
gave Betty's Dad a human side that I hadn't seen before.
- I admit to being originally mystified by the ending of a
second episode in a row. But, upon
further reflection, did Don have a change of heart (if he has one?) He told Roger that his fling/marriage with
Jane was foolish. However, after Jane
mentioned their split and Betty ran off we see him looking at Roger dancing
with Jane in a loving embrace. Did this
make Don realize how great his wife/life really is? We will see but it inspired him to literally
drop everything and express a bit of his own passion.
- Wouldn't it be ironic if he came to this decision only to find that Betty had decided to do a little stepping out of her own?
