Matthew Weiner wouldn't allow it.

Hopefully, the next episode is 80 percent "stuff going on at work" and 20 percent "soap opera bullshit".

I was thinking about the DLR connection with the Sopranos last night.

We see Betty and Roger's two ex-wives all the time.

Friends, Romans, countrymen… lend me your buns.

When Trudy was giving Pete the ole heave-ho, I thought of them looking so happy dancing the charleston and felt sad:

The way Ted was set up as an adversary to SCDP in seasons 4 and 5, I'm wondering if the show is setting up some epic fail for him, a la the riding mower of season 3.

When Megan said she got a little sloppy in Hawaii, I thought it meant that she miscarried because she was getting drunk or smoking weed or a pineapple fell on her tummy or something. I had to read the review to put it together that she meant that she got sloppy with the birth control pill.

I'm too lazy to look him up. What's the Bob Benson actor guy's other claim to fame?

When I saw his affair from last season on "Previously on…" I shuddered because I was afraid that the episode would bring back Rory Gilmore. I know they got hitched in real life, but I prefer Collete Wolfe in the role of "insane girl Pete is dating".

I thought the flashbacks were kinda pointless, but if there's a correlation to the present, there's Don throwing money at Sylvia. It also kinda seems like Don likes Sylvia because she reminds him of his surrogate mother or whatever. I guess if you get raised in a whorehouse, you're gonna have some fucked-up notion of…

Don's health faked me out twice tonight.

Ho-dor.

I'm sure when Pete finds out that Trudy is dating Mr. Skinnydipper he's gonna try to fight him and get his ass handed to him.

Megan said she was pregnant 6 weeks.
They went to Hawaii on Xmas, so at the earliest, this episode would be early February. Tet was late January, and it appears the Tet holiday thing has already passed, but there's still a lot of military action at that point.

That little Pete moment at the end where he asks Bob to get him some toilet paper for his apartment/now home reminded me of that joke from Election when Matthew Broderick has to come back to the hotel the next day and the guy at the desk asks him if he'd like the same room. Of course, the purpose of having the hotel…

Plus that guy yelled "She's your problem now, Campbell."
