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.

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.
