“This Is The One With The Goggles”

Pete kind of is!

I could be called "Yosemite…damn!"

Well, Ted being a pilot also leads to Don getting Sylvia's son into the National Guard which leads to him getting back into her pants which leads to Sally walking in on them in bed which leads to Don getting drunk which leads to him giving a half-assed explanation for what Sally saw which leads to…

I liked the callback to "The Suitcase" when Pete tells Peggy "you really know me" and she replies "I do."

I agree with this. I don't see "Bob is gay and has a crush on Pete" as a satisfying conclusion for his arc.

I kind of agree… I'm not sure "Bob has a gay crush on Pete" really explains everything. But on the other hand, I'm not really sure that coming on to Pete gains him anything.

His first two solo albums are great.  Not sure how you love "Paul Simon" but don't care for "There Goes Rhymin' Simon."  The rest until "Graceland" is hit or miss. But "Graceland" is great. "Rhythm of the Saints" is pretty good too.  And the rest until "So Beautiful or So What" is very hit or miss. But "So Beautiful…

He looks like the brother of Michael McKean and Bill Nighy if Bill Nighy and Michael McKean were brothers and had a brother who was the guitarist for a seminal prog-rock band.

"but are now looking for direction after releasing a struggling follow-up album."

I think it was on the day Ruby shot Oswald. That's what they were watching in the kitchen, right?

Count me in the camp of "it's all good."  I think every season has been great (and I've watch each multiple times).  All have their weak spots and I think the first three or four episodes of this season may have been the weakest of the series to date (the second episode, or rather, the first ep that aired after the…

"“A Tale Of Two Cities” is a marking time episode."

I was wondering the same thing, but I think it's NYC and LA. 

Pete's almost always right but he's just so much of a dick that, yeah, no one wants to listen to him.

I like how they contrasted the Carnation guy's line about how the democratic party may be dead forever with the company president's praise for Reagan, who was later co-opted by the likes of Palin and Bachman who's prominence in the Republican party have led to discussions about the viability of the party going forward.

Yeah, I think seeing the protesters getting their heads bashed in in Chicago was a revelation for him.  He (and Peggy) are "the enemy."  I don't think Peggy really gives a shit.  Ginsberg does.

Could Benson have been a plant placed by Ted and Jim before the merger?  Ted made reference that they are "splitting the company in two" after he put Bob on the Chevy account.

The past two episodes have felt very "Mad Menny," I think mostly because of the locales.

the most interesting line of the episode for me was: "I told you my name isn't Don."
