other than perhaps Rachel, which of course, adds to the irony that it was never consummated...
It wasn't? Didn't he give Rachel the big family reveal afterward? Maybe I need to rewatch S1.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

It could be I'm totally forgetting something. But I recall watching an episode very near the end of the season where she's having lunch with a girlfriend and admitting that Don's not Jewish but they haven't done anything yet. Could be my brain is melting.

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

Yep (her sister). And then the next time we see her, or very close to it, she and Don are nekkid in bed.

Wasn't she lying through her teeth in that conversation?

I'll have to rewatch (OH, DARN!!) in case I have the timing of those two scenes switched.

Yeah, she was. I just went back and looked at the episode summaries on the site-- they did the deed in Ep 10, "The Long Weekend." I think it was just overwhelmed in my mind because so much else happened that ep (like when doesn't it, right?) what with Roger's heart attack and Joan's roommate coming on to her.
Definitely need to go back and rewatch the ep.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
What Decemberists song was that, and where is it available
It's called "The Infanta", the lead-off track from Picaresque.
I'm proud to say that I won, in a charity auction, a Craig Thompson (of Blankets fame) original ink drawing depicting the procession of the Infanta with the song's lyrics strewn about the images. I love the song, but still feel it was inappropriate for the show.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I love all the Decemberists' album art like woah. Are charity auctions the only way to actually possess any, or does the artist ever just sell any of it? Because, whimper.
There was exactly one moment in this episode where I really just loved Don wholly and unambiguously, not in an "oh, how broken he is!" way--when he told Peggy in the middle of the first Jackie/Marilyn discussion that she was Irene Dunne. Such a perfect, lovely, layered little throwaway.

The Craig Thompson illustration was done especially for the auction. All of the Decemberists album art is done by Carson Ellis. No idea what's for sale, but you can contact her and ask!

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Wow, Decemberists + Craig Thompson. Very cool.
I found the whole episode just plain odd. Maybe I'll have more on that later, but I'm a little jet-lagged.
