Another huge turning point was meeting his parents.  Who could not feel sorry for him after that, esp contrasted with Trudy's parents. Ouch.

No steak in the pan or vanilla ice cream waiting when he got home.

I have no qualms with Jolie over Anniston, and Dr. Faye, while I can't find fault with her supportiveness, made me claustrophobic.  Certainly not an audience surrogate for me, that's Peggy.  I wasn't thrown for a loop by the proposal, after all, Dr. Faye telegraphed it by profiling him saying he'd be remarried in a…

I don't know why thinking Megan was angling for a husband is an extreme interpretation, Joan highlighted in the past that it's the expected default position for the pretty secretaries, and if you were "nothing much to look at, you should just enjoy the attention from being the new girl while it lasts".  Megan just…

Yes, he HAD to tell her.  She knew about the emergency with stopping the investigation.

Ah, this reminds me of Peggy doing the ridiculous Bye Bye Birdie song in the mirror.  Peggy should be proud she's not a Megan.

Just because she successfully got what she thought she wanted, doesn't mean she's happy, just like Jane.  She was miserable on the balcony because Don was immune to her seductive dance.

I'm not sure how many rewatched last season, but it's pretty clear she was manipulating even Dr. Faye's access to Don, she was definitely an aspiring "Jane".

It's probably all the cigarettes.

Excellent!

I liked that too, but noticed they got "blackguard" wrong in the captions.

I wouldn't brag about knowing the name of that song.  Also weird, I've had three different French-speakers (including Jacques Torres) tell me in the past that "petite chou" does not mean "little cabbage". (Or more precisely, that nobody means cabbage when used as an endearment.)

How does someone not know Carolyn by name?  But this Meridith is atrocious!

No, that's really how it is.

That party ended up to be much more pleasing to the eye than that sneak-preview still-photo led me to believe.  Ack, my eyes!

Well, if a man did a Chippendales routine at a company party, he should probably expect to be treated like a piece of meat just the same.

YES!

Peggy worked her way up for years, and Megan connived her way in with sex, like Peggy told Don everyone thinks Peggy did.  Peggy has every reason to be miffed.  I hope Megan stays home like she's angling for now.

I wouldn't give him too much credit, she thought he was going to fire her for sending in that application for security clearance.

Because we want Pete & Trudy to be hip, and Tammy = Debbie Reynolds.  Ack!
