If the service history of a recent previous U.S. President serves as a precedent, he's got nothing to worry about.

To his credit, Little Carmine did have the sense to quit the family business before he  became fish food, even if he is a lousy doorman.

True that, it is possible that Manolo's gentlemanly manner towards Mrs Campbell is, while flattering to her, causing her dementia-addled imagination to run wild, and she, without the inhibitions of a person with all of their marbles, has no problems intimating this to a woman whom she mistakes to be her…

Sal's history, get over it already.

More like he cared much more about helping Sylvia's kid so he could get back into Sylvia's pants than his own.

Pete doesn't have a portrait in a closet somewhere growing steadily uglier, his transgressions are visibly manifesting themselves in the degeneration of his own appearance.

Yeah, you know, to keep it 'historic' and all……

Megan Draper: Proto-Hipster.

Don does know about the miscarriage, because Megan told him.

Didn't he claim to be a Martian in the same sentence as well?

Joan was fine for Ted to handle Avon at Peggy's insistence, but then Ted delegated the responsibility to Pete (he was on his way to Detroit to talk with GM), and she resented Pete being involved with it.  Seems like no one wants Pete around when they bring in new business.  Lane resented his involvement during the…

Yeah, I attributed that quote to Don re-embracing his inner Dick Whitman, as he has done on his previous trips to California, where he seems more at peace without having to hide behind a false persona, he can just be himself, like he was with Anna Draper (he signed the painted wall in her house Dick + Anna 64) in…

SCDP, as this all happened in the fourth season.

Given that this show is a riff on the film 'The Apartment', this would be appropriate.

@avclub-61938d93498e7f0ed5e6527b1cee656a:disqus  Yeah, he probably lives in one of the run-down grand hotels on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, taking sniper shots at young goons who try to mug old ladies.

Henry Francis would have qualified if he had gone along with Betty's suggestion that she would hold Sally's teenage runaway friend down while he raped her, which, to his credit, he dismissed.

Yes, Mad Men is now in the era when the Stones were in their prime (the string of albums from Beggars Banquet through to Exile on Main Street) and the Kinks put out the amazing Village Green Preservation Society album. I would suggest Velvet Underground, early David Bowie, The Who, early Pink Floyd and any bands that…

I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Beatles, which seemed to be referenced frequently on the show in relation to Megan's storyline.  In the fourth season, Don looks affectionately through the doorway of his office at Megan while an instrumental version of 'Do You Want To Know A Secret' plays over it.  Last season,…

Given the soap opera nature of this show, it would be a major plot twist if BB is what he appears to be, a spare coffee-bearing guardian angel type, but the more conventional rationale for this show would be that he is scheming, working some kind of angle playing the long game to an end which is yet to be revealed.

@avclub-6ca57d2774f04ac8acf3d2b10f0338f4:disqus Your suggestions about how Betty and Henry deal with the angst /hangups from previous marriages do seem like healthier alternatives to the rape fantasy involving Sally's teenage runaway friend that was bandied about in the season opener.
