What episode are we on?

Are we near the end of the season?

It was the eleventh. So, two left.

Wow. That could totally happen then.

And we're heading into an era of extreme change when lots of people probably moved away, changed their names and reinvented themselves.

There's a lot that can happen in two episodes. Next week's ep, according to amctv is called "The Mountain King."

Last season, the final two episodes only covered about a month: the penultimate episodes was the election and the finale was Thanksgiving weekend. Not that that means squat, just an observation.

Squeee! Peggy's getting her look updated!

Oh, Peggy has her own gay!

And anyone recognize Charles Shaughnessey as St. John? Lewis did before me and he was spluttering, "Look, from the Nanny!"

I did, but I thought "Shane Donovan!" (from Days of Our Lives)

Also - who knew that Duck was so duplicitous.

he had to get his reputation somehow, it certainly wasn't through talent.

Roger's such an idiot. Marriage has been nothing but a trap to him, but the first thing he offers the new gf? "Marry me,"

Roger's never been particularly smart when it came to women. this is the man who paid how much just to have dinner with a prostitute.

Well, and for him, he's of the generation where women fall into one of three categories: wives, mistresses, or whores. Plus, it's what he expects-- that the pinnacle of what a woman reaches for is marriage. He thinks he's offering her what she most wants and desires.

Yeah, that's true. I never expected Don to go off with the Europeans...if he wanted, he could have yet another persona, couldn't he?

Exactly. He could just drop off the face of the earth - so far as the New York family and friends are concerned and start all over again.
