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.

Maybe Don called somebody who knew him when he was in the military.

Ooh. That could be interesting.

I mean, I think he decided against doing that. But you never really know with Don. For such an organization guy, he's got a bohemian streak.
