I'm sorry - did Java cat say he's got a Gregory Peck thing?
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Don was in a similar situation...I think that was a direct reference to when he woke up in the hospital after his war accident.
Was that in the first season? Also, in the previouslies there was a scene with Pete saying that Don's real name was something else and I don't remember seeing that before.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep.

Hon, you need to catch up on S1! It was the major drama! or, one of the two, anyway. Spoilerfont only in case you don't actually want to know:
"Don" was born Dick Whitman, illegitimate redneck. Don Draper was his commanding officer in Korea. When the original-version Don got blowed up, our Don switched dogtags (and thereby took Original Don's college degree, officer rank, opportunity to not go back home to redneckiana...). Pete intercepted a package from Dick/Don's brother, tried to blackmail him to get Don's job, but instead Bert Cooper thought it was the funniest thing since his last sake binge and gave everyone a free copy of Ayn Rand.

“Not dead yet!”
Yeah, that was in the episode "Nixon vs. Kennedy" where we found out what happened to the original Don Draper and how Pete used the information to try to blackmail Don with Cooper, who, essentially, didn't give a rat's ass what Don's real name or identity was.

did Java cat say he's got a Gregory Peck thing?
Yup. He reminds me of a young Gregory Peck. Why?

Whew, finally caught upwith MM in time for tonight's episode.
Don is hot.
Pete is not, even in short shorts.
The writers of this show make me actually like watching shitweasels, even if I don't like the shitweasels themselves. This is nothing new, but bears repeating in order to convert people to our cult encourage a larger viewership.

Always Anti-fascist!
Sometimes I like Don. Sometimes I don't. Which, considering real life, isn't that strange. But it does fly in the face of traditional expectancies of episodic television and that whole "likeable enough to be in someone's house week after week," thing.
