Maybe don't conflate PCness with feminist ideals.

Oh, damn. I wish I'd been smart enough to scroll down to the comments sooner. I have been surprised about these AV reviews for not really getting the show. Someone above/below mentioned how the reviewer doesn't seem to get this is a farce (do the series titles not imply it well enough?) and so the reviews seem to be…

Argh. Why do reviewers give spoilers? Bad form, AVClub. Bad form.

When one is able to joke in a second language, s/he has rather grasped it. That Roger has been resistant to the language and the change, but has embraced French quite well in such a short time, is great. The 1970s was a time of great upheaval in Montreal. I wonder how Roger handles that…

Ack. I'd forgotten it was The New Seekers. The New Seekers formed in 1969 after the demise of the The Seekers… The new seeker is Don, perhaps?

I absolutely love his development. How he began his own change when he was in LA. It seemed honest. I do think the final development with Trudy was a bit hurried, but there's so much to fit in in two episodes. It mostly makes sense to me. And they looked like an ad for LearJet in that last scene of them. Brilliant.

I think we have seen that smile before. When he said, "I'm Don Draper, from McCann-Erikson" before walking out for his walkabout…

And it reminded me of how she spoke about her mother. Always put together. Frozen in time…

No, I thought it was great, because Peggy was the one every thought would be solo forever, ended up with someone who views her as an equal and respects her and her career and her smarts, while Joan, who was the one everyone expected to couple up, finds her independence, on her own terms. Neither woman loses, and each…

Earlier last night, before I watched the MM finale, I watched Happyish. The same jingle, the same Coke bureaucrats, and the dawn of a new era (in and out of advertising) were motifs throughout that cynical Happyish episode (actually, finally, a somewhat satisfying one, but that's another story…). However, it tempered…

That scene, where he's sitting shell-shocked by the phone is a reference to when he blew up the real Don Draper. He sat there, too, unable to move. Before he took on another persona, eventually.
