I like this season, but I didn't care for last night's episode too much.
There were a couple of scenes that I actually thought were extraneous and wish hadn't really been in there or were written different.
I prefer a bit more subtlety with my Mad Men.
Also, distinct lack of Joan has hurt my interest.
I'm digging the season. Y'all notice that when the prison guard wouldn't meet Don's eye towards the end, there was no baby on his wife's lap?
Pete was especially early-Conner-like to me in this episode.
I found the whole hospital scene very creepifying.
I don't think we've seen the last of Duck, either.
Oh, Corwood, I caught the awkwardness, but missed the lack of baby!

I did not! I don't know what to make of that, either.
I definitely need to rewatch.

Yes! Also, I am also really liking this season and have been forgetting to come here to talk about it. I'm still totally blown away by the musical episode.
Another thing: the line about the wife being on a boat and the husband on shore was verbatim from Robert Bradley's book about husband-coached childbirth. He wrote it in the late 60s, and much of the book is taken up with documenting the horrors of twilight birth.
