I was at that meeting too.

"You're not laughing now, are you Don?"

Ever since that episode whenever "You're the Reason I'm Leaving" (Franz Ferdinand) comes on my music rotation, I picture Lane Pryce's death scene while they sing:
I had no idea
That in four years
I'd be hanging by a beam
Behind the door of number ten (I always heard it as "the door of no return", not sure which it is)
Singi…

Just a few random observations.

Not Megan, I'd wager.

OK, that makes more sense (sexuality in terms of having sex, rather than in terms of sexual orientation, I mean).

I don't quite get what "on sexuality…I'm quite conservative" means in this day and age. Does it mean you don't believe in equal rights? Does it mean you don't think people should be gay or otherwise not straight?

I get all that, and certainly I have sympathy for anyone of any gender who feels pushed into a certain kind of lifestyle that doesn't suit them. I know it has often happened to men as well as women.

Okay, fair enough.

That doesn't sound terribly conservative to me. Unless, like, you have some retrograde views of women that you're hiding. You sound like a centrist.

Not really…it comes across as something a diehard believer in that version of morality and history would sincerely make (a hallmark of propaganda? It's insincere). it also comes across as straight-up wrong, and kind of silly and unwatchable for that. But not propaganda.

The sexual revolution was kind of necessary as a corollary to steps toward gender equality, though.

"All men do I think"…

I wonder if Don has any idea at all that Roger is shacking up with his ex-wife's mom.

Well, the agent herself told Don that she was stalking directors or something. We don't know if it's true or not - like Harry, he could be an unreliable narrator (and given how gross he was, he probably isn't very reliable). The agent might have called Don because he was stretching the truth a bit or a lot and, like…

I feel like this sort of missed the point - the way "plebes" were depicted in the beginning of the film was meant to get the (probably young, probably progressive, probably somewhat privileged) audience snickering as they ogled and admired the aristocratic airs - both sartorial and attitudinal - of the upper-class…

Isn't Peggy only just about 30 now? If that? How is that "middle aged"?
