It's striking how Megan has gone from the insouciant vixen performing an over-the-top-for-the-occasion cabaret smolder to an insecure mouse of a person.

I'm pretty sure abortion was legal in several states by this time, possibly even in New York.

Bob's lines were a come-on, not a proposal.

Sylvia has to already have issues about how her behavior conflicts with her faith. She married a Jew.

I like how Peggy initially called Manolo "Manuel" when telling Pete about his mom's conversation with her.

When one reads the comments about "Mad Men", you see they're often reflective of what we think of of those times rather than what those times were like.  The big question this week is why would Bob come on to Pete, a married man he's gone with to a brothel?  At that time it wouldn't have been unusual for a closted gay…

They aren't violent until they hallucinate someone is trying to kill them.  Then they get pretty darn violent.

The reviewer gets it right, and then sort of misses it.  This episode is an encapsulation of that point in 1968.  Things are confused, and splintered.  People are dissatisfied with the status quo, and are openly rebelling (Joan, Harry with the Mustang, Ginsberg vs. Cutler) and not backing down.  The least likely…

People have been giving Abe a lot of hell, but he and his attitude were not uncommon at the time, a time when many people genuinely thought America might be swept up in revolution and lawlessness. Peggy is the other side of the coin: she wants to be safe, Abe feels no one is safe; she feels no one has a right to take…

Somehow, "Achilles Heal" is poetic.

"Who is Bob Benson"? Really? I once worked with a guy who said he had gotten a couple of jobs simply by showing up at the office. That's Bob Benson. He doesn't do much work, the little he does wouldn't have saved him from being let go (Joan, by way of BB's ass-kissing, heped him there), and he sees the vulnerable Pete…

Although, if you use a certain word that starts with "n", regardless of the context, that post is doomed to the ether.

He thought it was a soup ad, but it was really oatmeal. So much confluence, so little time.

That's Dow, not DuPont.

She hasn't moved?  Two words: Rent Control.

Then why is Pete worried?  He's a partner too.

Because Ted is a more modern businessman than the dinosaurs at SCDP.  "Rap session" anyone?

I mentioned this weeks ago.  Not that it would never happen, but it likely would have been something that isolated Sylvia from her family, and the doctor from his.  The fact that devout Catholics can marry outside the faith was the subject of a papal order written in 1970.  The Rosens were married long before that.

Good point, but Don already thinks ALL women are whores.

I think so many people have gotten it wrong, accusing Pete of hypocrisy because he pointed out his father-in-law's pro was black. I take it as Pete pointing out how much more of a hypocrite Tom is. I'm not sure it's been touched on, or alluded to, but it wouldn't have been surprising if Tom was an active bigot. Tom…
