Well, it's not out of the question that someone constantly worried that his life has no meaning would jump out of a building. But I don't think that's where this is going and it certainly doesn't have anything to do with the opening title animation.

and that. People she knows, her own age, flirting with her parents? I can't imagine most kids her age would find that anything but gross.

She wants her father to be real, not a phony put-on character. When he, in rare moments, is straight with her, she loves that side of him.

I meant to mention: the Roberta Flack tune played at the end of the episode came out in 1972, and last I knew it was 1970.

Helps them sell faster at a higher price, so they say.

I was at the WF in 65 and I would have been 7 years old. I don't remember a lot about it but one thing that sticks out in my mind was the great smell of waffles wafting for quite a distance from the Belgian Village.

I had the exact tape recorder Don was dictating into.

I couldn't say for sure but it seems like that could have been Sally's last episode on the show, as she will be conveniently out of town.

Yeah, and the Bruce Greenwood character seemed to understand it that way as well.

Don Draper would have been about my father's age and his kids approximately my age. I remember visiting my father at his office in the mid 60s (no where near as nice as Sterling Cooper) and while the employees were far less fashionable, they were always business dressed. Even as a child I was expected to dress…

From the Nixon speech

According to Freud, there are three women in every man's life: the woman who bears him, the woman who takes him in, and the woman who destroys him.

The Eldorado is also, of course, the name of the apartment building at Central Park West where Margaret and Nucky were in their last scene.

It was "When Yuba Plays the Rumba Down In Cuba", but I don't know what version of the song that was. (Thinking Mills Brothers based on the harmonies)

I stayed there with family when I was a kid.

No review for the new episode yet. I thought it was the best episode of the show yet.

I was a nightclub musician at that time. I remember coming home from late night gigs, late night driving at 4 am sometimes, and I'd pass by a mall and one of the parking lots would be half full of cars. And then we'd see a line of people waiting to get into the toy store. I never saw anything like it before.

It's good to have someone on the show who is well-adjusted if only for contrast, but people like that by their nature are not usually as interesting to me. Although being put in certain situations might make them more interesting.

There seem to be a lot of Donna fans, and I guess I don't really get what about her makes her a compelling character. She's relatable, I suppose, in that she's trying to live a normal life, and has suppressed her dreams in order to take care of responsibilities. But that doesn't make her especially interesting to me.…

I think what was annoying was that it seemed trite. I think we've seen variations of that theme all the way back to cutting the Gordian knot.
