What Weiner could do from this point in the series is splice in location shots of the Manhattan skyline, showing WTC twin towers under construction to show the elapse of time, much like what Fincher did with the Transamerica Pyramid in 'Zodiac'.

Megan also read the name of Herman 'I killed 14 men on Okinawa' Phillips a.k.a. Duck, so I wonder if we will see him too before this season is out, and learn the fate of Chauncey.

Don wearing hat was a nice 'old-school' touch, especially at a point in time after JFK had made hat-wearing uncool.

There was also a shout-out to former head of accounts Bert Petersen who did not have much screen time save for the outburst where he is let go, and declares it to 'comrades and mediocrities' as he wipes typewriters and stationery off desks on his way out.

Roger's first wife called it back in season one that Don and Joan made a great couple.  The scene at the bar, they seem to be comfortable viewing the world through a 1950s lens, as the world around them is being rapidly transformed and shaped by the whims of nascent youth culture.

If Lakshmi did seek retribution against Harry for Paul Kinsey's departure from the Krishnas, and told his wife, co-workers etc. about their sexual encounter, would anyone in Mad Men's white-bred world of privilege believe the claims of a former prostitute/drug addict-turned-eastern-cult devotee?

@avclub-a2c49962ab5fdf70fd33f1a20bd5462c:disqus : Roger scored with Megan's mother, his estranged trophy wife and at the brothel on the infamous outing with the Jaguar guy, none of these however is a piece of ass that could hold a candle to the gorgeous Joan.  He's hardly been a monk.

The scene with the receptionist where she throws the model aircraft reminded me how hot Joan is when she's angry!
