She grew up Catholic as fuck.

It's not crippling, in that they can still land clients. It's just the real blue-chip firms, the Dows and the Fords, that are smart enough to be scared off. That Jaguar schmo and the Heinz guy aren't clued-in enough to care.

I have to agree re: Kinsey, but I guess one doofus/punching bag was enough and Harry is also flummoxed, insecure, and closeted. Three points for Crane!

I agree. Megan actually reminds me of people I know, which hasn't really been true on the show before. She's a marker for a generation that not even Peggy quite belongs to.

It couldn't possibly be because Don is treating her like an accessory.

"I Want to Hold Your Hand"

I love how that outed all the torrent pirates on the forum.

Bert meant Peggy. He's not that subtle.

Roger can't be the first. We all know Harry Crane has been tripping balls on his west-coast TV trips. And he still can't get laid. He probably buys it from that wannabe beatnik at the old agency that looked like Young Orson Welles.

I loved that part.

If you guys were watching the iTunes version, you'd be getting the six-minute short making-ofs for each episode where Matt Weiner and the cast explain what the hell is going on. For this one, Weiner explained that he wanted to use the structure of some French anthology films of the 1960s/70s.

This seems hard for people on this board to grasp, but this season's big premise is "What if Don was happy?" He was miserable married to Betty and he filled the hole in his soul with women. Now he knows how good he's got it with Megan.

A better analogy is the line of men waiting for their turn with Jennifer Jason Leigh in Last Exit to Brooklyn. When word gets out that Pete is taking punches, it's gonna get messy.

Thanks for clarifying. I thought it was a soccer reference to something in the World Cup game.

Dr. Faye = Dr. Joyce Brothers
I can't believe it took this long, but I finally realized why Dr. Faye seems familiar: she's based on Dr. Joyce Brothers, female pop psychologist of the 1960s-70s. Even visually: her hairstyle andc clothes are spot on with Dr. Brothers.

Calendar pages fly away
This season started at Thanksgiving, 1964, and we're now in late summer, 1965. Don was taking Sally to see the Beatles at Shea Stadium, which was August 15, 1965, and I think that may have happened between episodes.
