Have you ever seen an episode when your life wasn't on the line? I find the low stakes make for a pleasant viewing experience.

One of my favorite physical gags is Jeremy dancing by himself in the background. I lose it every single time.

David Mitchell wonderfully expresses that thing I do of being objectively right at the expense of being socially tactful.

Yeah that is the rarest of rares: an unflattering image of Keeley Hawes.

@avclub-6ca57d2774f04ac8acf3d2b10f0338f4:disqus Beatrice wasn't quite unrequited so much as unpursued in his life. Dante was married off to Gemma (whom he never once mentioned in his poetry, ouch) from a young age, having only met Beatrice once, maybe twice. She came to symbolize this great "what could have been"…

"I hate cops."

@avclub-8a1c882768760c8e996715653ff5c7cb:disqus Yeah, that's possible. Though I think on some level she knows that for Sandy to finish school and start lying to her friends that it's what she wanted all along (the way Betty did in those early seasons about how the house and family was all she ever wanted) is dooming…

I love those jokes where it's implied that characters have had these discussions multiple, presumably exhaustive times. I don't know why, my mind just fills in all those lead up conversations and it makes me laugh every time. Similarly, "We've talked about this, I can't laugh at all your jokes."

Yup, definitely. Though it seems weird if he got his lighter before deploying while Don/Dick must have gotten his after coming home (I don't believe he thought enough to switch dog tags and lighters).

@disqus_okgItcD0yy:disqus Well yeah, exactly. Even Peggy recognizes that she's acted poorly. Hopefully she pulls away from the Don-shtick a bit. I can't believe some people here still think his management style is something to aspire to.

@avclub-d7b683529752a4d24d84c4941861a363:disqus You might want to reread my comment, because you're misstating my analysis. Betty's talent was her beauty (and poise, elegance, etc.). She was a model who's career got sidelined by wife/mother. Sandy's "unfortunate face" as you put it, has nothing to do with what Betty…

@avclub-0bba551b5f78d9e7647cd7bc006578fe:disqus Well sure, and not everything is a good thing, ya know?

That's good as well. It's funny, I automatically attributed the title to the doorway Betty's coat gets snagged on, and her regrets of the life she tore herself away from.

Yeah, it's been obvious for a while but Don sees death as rebirth since Dick Whitman died in Korea and Don was reborn. Ever since he thinks he can be reborn into the person he really wants to be. And Inferno is Dante's first part of the journey to meet the woman he loves in Paradiso.

They've definitely become self-aware.

I posted a comment somewhere else around here, but it's her desperate attempt to get back to her authentic self, ironically through artificial means.

"We've talked about this, I can't laugh at all your jokes."

Control her underlings? Admirable? Easy there, John Galt. I like Peggy as much as the next fella, hell more, but it's pretty clear she's treating her copywriters unfairly.

So I've been trying to piece it together and here's what I've come up with:

Well Don and Roger's arcs were perfect mirrors - Don's fixation on death as rebirth and Roger's misguided attempt to ignore it. Betty's story also seems to be one of rebirth, or perhaps the impossibility of it depending on how the season plays out. In Sandy she sees her younger self, obviously, and that point when she…
