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

So, it's actually different, not just that I'm used to it?

I think so. At least the r's didn't sound as pronounced as when he was saying, "Clark".

Vortex, I'm watching it right now. I haven't got to the reveal yet, but it seemed obvious to me just from his first scene.

JM's accent didn't seem to be Californian, but it wasn't very Oklahoman, either.

I think that I liked his accent or felt comfortable because he just made it less extreme and so it sounded rather midwestern.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

We also don't want to create a historical anachronism by putting a 1962 typewriter or transistor radio in, so we try to watch that, unless, creatively we just decide it’s a good way to go. Otherwise, we keep ourselves locked to April of 1960.

One thing that has been bugging me: In slide 6, Peggy clearly has an IBM Selectric II typewriter (introduced in 1972) on her desk, not a Selectric I (introduced in 1961).

Huh. Now, I've got to find a picture of a Selectric 1 for comparison.

Okay, here is a Selectric from 1961.
