That is definitely my favorite episode of Season 5, if only for the Pete Campbell storyline and beating by Lane while Peggy and Joan watched. The dripping of the faucet. Don as Superman.

“That’s the carousel in Central Park, always makes me think
of you.” Took me a second but goddamn, Ken. He is the best when he's notyelling at people because he's frustrated with hierarchies.
Can I please just say how amazing it is to see Margaery and Brienne shine. Though they both are going on the most opposite journeys starting now. Everything from the books is good, but seeing these new scenes is really a treat for us. I also loved how depraved Craster's Keep has become, the mutineers capturing Bran…
Great comment. I am in the middle of 'Red Dragon,' literally all that shit just happened to SPOILER DON'T READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN, Freddy, not Freddie, Lounds. Seeing everything from the book and remembering when it was on the show, it's just making that appreciation for both of them that…
Will's "I'm the guy who didn't kill all those people," was just perfect.
Joan's seen how ugly the business can get firsthand, I doubt Moira's ever been exposed to anyone like Herb, and that is the best about the Cutler and Chaough.
When he was apologizing to Moira for getting Mikey laid, on behalf of all men to all women, it looked like, just yes.
He wants to chew Don up and spit him out.
I think it's Don more as a combo of Jon Snow and Bran, he knows nothing, and the Bran thing becomes more relevant when you look at Bran's warging into Summer, like Dick Whitman basically warged into Donald Draper. And he just looked cool as fuck sitting out there in the cold, just to give himself a shock, even though…
Which is ironically what Vince Gilligan always described Walter White's journey as, a metamorphosis more than point A and point B. Both shows are great, but Mad Men's ability to disarm the viewer is like nothing I have seen done before.
Despite his, and despite, well all of their faults, Weiner has really crafted something that lets us love these characters despite the circumstances they cannot control. It really is remarkable.
"Who the fuck is Jon Snow?"
I have never seen a better line reading.. Not in recent memory at least.
And the woman on the plane looked like Mrs. Rosen, Linda Cardelinni's character, whose haircut was also strikingly similar to Don's mother. Who'da thunk it?
Pete owns his douchiness, that's for sure. Don has trouble acknowledging his, and his front allows him to swim under the waters.
He just contemplates the hierarchy and writes short stories, waiting to get enough success to be able to finally get out of this miserable business. Eye patch makes him.
It's kind of fascinating that he can't maintain long-term relationships, so he has somehow guru'd himself into being the best at short-term human interaction. And then it's time for work.
The butt kind?
No, any episode of Season 3, if we're doing rankings. I just picked one.
ETA: I'd go with 5, 6, 4, 1, 2, and 3. This could be epic.
You're correct, Mad Men > BB
And how insane is it that Season 3 has the lawnmower episode, the worst episode of Mad Men is like the best thing of everything ever.
