I loved how people didn't know what chip and dip was either. I didn't realize that was a exciting new culinary adventure in 1960. Didn't Dick plan the revenge well before the lunch? Because he bribed the elevator operator much earlier.

Rescue Me: A TWOPPER posted this screencap to support the idea that the season, has so far, been a dream.

(I will be sad if Tommy doesn't have an actual IW pup and it's just some sort of dream spirit animal.)

Yeah, Hec, I noticed the thing in the credits. But then, I always do. Look for that, I mean. They really made Don's boss look sick in this one, didn't they? And I'm not talking about what he put Betty through. I'm talking about when he got sick in the meeting, he really looked green and stuff. Most shows don't do that to their actors. About the look, even though I spend half the time watching this show wishing I could tell the guys to keep their hands to themselves, growing up with a different set of expectations, I sort of understand what Mrs.Draper's neighbor means.

Sexist or not, I don't get that kind of attention. If you do, that probably sounds like what our mothers fought for, but actually? It kind of feels like being at the kids'table for life.

I'm surprised Helen didn't find that a strange request from her boy...has he been doing that a lot?

You've got to think that he has -- but I thought her response to Betty giving him the lock of hair was appropriate. Perhaps she should have mentioned the kid's strange proclivities to Betty and told her to not indulge him.

Yeah, it is, in a strange sort of way, like he kissed her and Betty kissed him back. I have very little idea what I would have done in Mrs. Draper's place, though.

Okay, we're NAFDA in here, right? That's what all the confusion over in Bureau was, right? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but Ima talk about it in blackfont.

First, an awesome, crazy episode. How much do I love Joan? "I don't care if it's to Cuba, I need some notice."

I knew something was up when they gave us the shot of Don's hands and the money as the elevator doors closed, but I didn't ping to what he'd done until the little grin at the end. I thought it was an interesting revenge, since it took place in the context of work. He made Roger look a fool in the building with his name on it. It was all so deliberate, the oysters, the alcohol, the freaking cheesecake. And then when he left him, he practically skipped up the last steps. Until I realized what was happening, I thought Roger was about to have a stroke or something.

We don't think Betty did do anything to provoke Roger's pass, do we?

I liked how the lines of the gender world keep getting drawn. The womens' world of groceries, shops, kitchens. What people expect out of each other.

And I'm still so completely creeped out by the shrink's reporting back to Don. As a woman today I function with so much autonomy; I take it all for granted. And it's not. I know my putative daughters will live again in a world completely recreated from mine, but it's hard to realize how different my world is from that of my mother.

I don't think that Betty did a thing out of line -- Roger and Don were the one's out of line.

Yeah, the shrink reporting to Don is just super creepy. And I have to say -- of course, she's bored and frustrated and obsessing over stupid things. What the heck else is she supposed to be doing?

I knew something was up when they gave us the shot of Don's hands and the money as the elevator doors closed, but I didn't ping to what he'd done until the little grin at the end.

I pinged it when the elevator operator looked really nervous when they walked back in.

Yeah, when you think about it, he took a huge risk by accepting Don's bribe. I mean, it's the big boss!

I thought those shots were maybe about setting something up for race relations stuff later on.

Oh, and I meant to mention...all the shots of dissipation are just porn! These gorgeous lingering glances at smoke curling into the air, the swish of the glass, food and lighting and comfort. Total porn.

But he's not, is he? He says it's his name on the building, but that other large guy (forgot his name) seems to be the big big boss. Do we know Roger's connection with the building?
