And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

My grandmother thought one branch of her family were Campbells, or in the same clan? Something. Anyway, Mom's genealogical research has not found any Scots ancestry at all back to the 18th century, so probably not.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

JOAN.

Goddammit, McCann is the worst.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Mad Men: I'm in the middle of the episode and it is both a good episode and painful to watch. The women back at square one, and Roger's secretary not feeling comfortable working there.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Wait until the end of the episode. Peggy doesn't look like she's at square one by episode's end, I promise.

Don is still seeing dead people. And is he ever going to go back?

Have Roger and Peggy ever actually had a one on one scene together before?

Joan, is the last person I thought would make those kind of threats, and I wish she would have followed through with it, even though it probably would have been useless.

Just finished. She may have entered the office with a positive attitude, but nothing we saw made me think that she is going to be taken seriously. I wasn't implying the women themselves haven't changed but that they are at square one with having to prove themselves to the men they work with all over again.

Joan is breaking my heart, but Peggy rollerskating while Roger played the organ was glorious.

I like On the Road Don giving a ride to a hippie. I wonder if he ever picked out paint, if his new place is ready for him to move in.

I don't think he needed to pick out paint after he hired his secretary to decorate the whole place.

Right, she was gonna run with whatever picture he liked. So he probably does have some place to go back to.

Watching Don at the Miller creatives meeting was painful.

Goddammit, McCann is the worst.

I don't know which one is the worst out of Dennis, Ferg and McCann. Dennis doesn't even respect Joan's skills enough to read her briefs and just figures he's better off winging it then following her lead. Ferg respects her account management skills enough, but..., ugh. He and Harry should be strung up by their balls. And McCann, he just hates strong women.

They're all the worst.

I really wanted Joan to stick it out to earn all her money and make McCann squirm.
