RE: " It's fascinating to see these characters basically all need to learn how to unracist themselves."

I often do (and not always a traditional "breakfast" sandwich, either). In fact, I made myself one this morning.

I was also touched by Ginsberg's father's covering his face…but I think it was with his sweater (not a blanket).

RE: "Roger — "The man knew how to talk. I thought it would save him. I thought it would solve the whole thing." Roger looks OK, but how well can he be doing if Molotov Cocktail Randy had to talk him down at some point?"

But then, I'm sure you realized…they couldn't skip from JFK's assassination to RFK's, completely omitting reference to MLK's assassination. Nope. Not after they trotted out Phyllis and gave Dawn a friend and more air time. No way, Jose.

I think Peggy keeps that candy in her desk drawer.  Remember the episode in which she had a mini panic attack when she thought she'd lost the candy…but it turned up on the drawer? It's now in her new office, in the desk drawer with the Quest feminine hygiene product.

True. I think the hiding it with the bed move would have worked, if only Bobby had been able to stop picking at the paper.  But he couldn't…and that was his downfall.  Could this be how Don started out?

Misaligned patterned wallpaper's like the "Is it a Lady-with-a-hat-in-silhouette or a Swan?" perspective picture.  Once  you see the image a certain way, you can never "unsee" it.

Wallpaper patterned with stars. (In keeping with the stars theme so harped on this season.) The stars are misaligned.

And she didn't haul off and pop Bobby, like she did Sally when Sally cut her hair.

I wanted to know: (1) why Betty would let her boy sleep in a room covered by that ugly-azz, dark wallpaper, and (2) who the heck did that sloppy wallpapering job? As someone posted above, I (too) wanted Bobby to keep a-rippin'.

You cannot plagiarize a doctorate. LOL!  King didn't fabricate his diploma or academic records or pretend to have earned a Ph.D.

Last night's show made me wish Ginsberg and Dawn would get together: both live with their parents; both are outsiders but serious about their jobs; both seem rather straightlaced; both could use fashion makeovers; and I'll bet Dawn's a virgin, too.

This video of the song's performance features a simulated blue sky with stars in the background…carrying through the star motif sprinkled throughout all of the season 6 episodes.  http://www.youtube.com/watc…

In the "Chrysanthemum" episode (in which, by the way, Pete explains the flower symbolizes death), Don tells the NYTimes reporter he never heard of Ted or his agency (though Lane later makes it clear SCDP's future depends on Ted's agency's demise). Similarly, in other episodes, Don told Ginsberg he never thinks of him

The two pictures in Megan's dressing room depict couples (two birds, two kids); relationship orientation

So funny with names:
…Megan's character's sex partner in the soap opera is played by an actor named "Rod"
…Ken's Heinz Beans contact, who "spilled the beans" about Don's Heinz Ketchup presentation, is named "Geiger"
…Sylvia…the meaning of her name's been discussed prevously

RE: "Wasn't his apartment on Waverly Place?" No, I think it was on St. Mark's, near Waverly and Sixth.

Currently rewatching the ep., immediately after having watched "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" episode, which is actually informative about this one.
