There's Anna Draper, whose name & address she has, and the divorce/deed records would be on file elsewhere. Plus, I do think the Army might get highly interested in the case as I'm willing to bet there's no statute of limitations on desertion.

right, there's no problem proving that Don Draper had been divorced before, but that's not going to be a big deal for a divorce case. She would have to prove that he's Dick Whitman, and the only person who could testify to that is Anna Draper, and she wouldn't do it. What would the Army say if she came to them and said "my husband used to be Dick Whitman, but there was a mixup in the hospital and how he's Don Draper. Oh, and by the way we're getting a divorce and I need someone to come testify" Unfortunately, those pictures are the only evidence that Dick is Don, and even then, a name written on the back of a picture isn't dispositive. It might raise some questions, but doesn't raise to a legal standard.

Almost forgot to mention - I'm so glad Joan is still a part of this show.

This comment from THC's blog:

As a psychotherpist myself, I loved the coaching she gave him for his psychiatry interview. She, of course, was right on, but he has no potential, no insight, no self-awareness other than fear and loathing cloaked in a sense of entitlement.

Makes me think Joan would make an excellent psychiatrist if given the opportunity. Lord knows she'd be a better doctor than her useless husband.

He really is quite useless, isn't he? I was pumping my fist in the air when she nailed him.

I sensed a bit of foreshadowing with the whole, "Vietnam - if that's still going on."

Yeah, I've been Googling Vietnam troop deployments to see how long we've got before he gets shipped out. I think 1965 would be the earliest reasonable date. I really don't want their marriage to last all the way to 1969.

Jessica and I are the same Googlers.

I'd laugh my ass off if he died in some random boot camp incident.

Also, did anyone else get the feeling that when Roger was talking about "The One", that Joan was his "The One" and that Jane is a substitute?

Go friendly fire! Choose friendly fire!

Oh. My. God what has this show turned me into?

I'm hoping for "slips on a banana peel and breaks his neck on the first day of basic training," personally. After he's signed the paperwork that would entitle Joan to a substantial life insurance payment, of course.

What?

Goes the way of whats-his-face in Full Metal Jacket would be my preference.
