Don spiraled out of control even quicker than I was expecting. I wonder how long he is going to be able to follow the rules this time?
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, kudos to the music director for the last sting of Mad Men tonight - that was inspired.
Because of Kodak?

Right, I think it ties back to his first master pitch about the slide carousel. Also, Ken just referenced the carousel in the previous ep.
Interesting how they tie in 2001: A Space Odyssey into with the ominous dominating computer and staring up into the sky and imagining the moon landing.
Plus, the meaning of the Mets banner changes in meaning during the ep from grim reminder of Lane to something like a hint that Don will make a triumphant turn around as the '69 Miracle Mets did.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think it ties back to his first master pitch about the slide carousel.
Yeah, that was the callback. That pitch was Don's calling card for years and in that pitch the carousel symbolizes family and love and childhood and wonder, so calling back to it with lyrics about how actually a carousel symbolizes futility because you never get any close to the thing you're chasing...brilliant.

You know what I'm weirdly annoyed by? How drastic Margaret's physical transformation was. I feel like there must be a mid-range hairstyle between Full Beehive and Full Hippy that she could have sported at lunch with Daddy. Unless she dolled her self all up One Last Time. Hmmm.

She was wearing gloves. At lunch with Daddy, I mean. So I can see especially dolled up for the occasion before going full on hippy.
I am charmed by Fargo voice-overing their "Previouslies" with "Erstwhile"

Oh, Ginsberg. Gay, closeted and schizophrenic is no way to go through life, son.
That was a good episode of Mad Men, though harrowing.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I was struck by two things --
First, that Henry treated Betty and Sally the exact same way, as if they were both his daughters. When they were yelling at each other, he called them both "girls". Not sure where this side of Henry is coming from, is it because suddenly there's conflict?
Also, I got a real "Mommy Dearest" vibe when Bobby came into Sally's room and they talked.
