12. I agree with Harry—Roger’s daughter is pretty babely now. ah fuck, she’s married. that’s right. why am I disappointed about this.
13. wardrobe/hair is having a blast with these late 60s/early 70s makeovers. Harry got the worst of it. Campbell’s sideburns make him look like a fratboy. Peggy is being made up to look hot now, and kinda crushing it actually. I want to have almost every piece of furniture in the firm’s offices (pass on Roger’s stuff, with the exception of that low Florence Knoll—at least I think that’s what it is [edit: it’s not, but similar]—awesome buffet in the corner), but especially those orange chairs in front of Don’s desk.
14. I really appreciate Roger’s gratuitous come-ons. I think it may actually be somewhat realistic for him to get away with this behavior, because he has white hair. I mined my memory for something deeper to write about Roger’s character here but came away only with the conclusion that it doesn’t have much depth. 5 seasons in I don’t know that he has had a moment of vulnerability or shown signs of what makes him tick. I feel like he should have been more crushed about one of his breakups.
15. so Betty is out alone until well after dark, comes back with a ripped coat, and the explanation “I was running some errands” satisfies Francis?
16. wikipedia has revealed to me that I would have enjoyed this episode immensely more if I were not such an illiterate:

Allusions to Dante’s Inferno are abundant throughout the episode. The structure of the episode is built around Don’s sinful progression through the nine circles of hell:
Don is on the beach. - Limbo
Don has sex with Megan. - Lust
Don feasts and smokes drugs. - Gluttony
Don wants to cut the maid’s paycheck (hoard) and gives a free camera (squander). - Greed
Don angrily criticizes his copywriters’ work (wrath) and gets drunk at the funeral (sullen). - Anger
Don asks Jonesy about his after-death experience. - Heresy
Don tries to advertise suicide. - Violence
Don presents his perfect marriage to his neighbors. - Fraud
Don is in bed with Sylvia. - Treachery

9. oh, so that “flash forward” was in fact not to the climax of the episode. I retract my disappointment expressed as number 2. this show continues to be more clever than other things on TV.
10. wtf is Peggy wearing.
11. based on that girl’s line about cool musicians living together in “the Village” “right off St. Mark’s place” I got a feeling that whoever writes this show either doesn’t know much about New York (seems highly unlikely) or has a preference for including the well-known over the most historically accurate. was St. Mark’s even cool in, like, the early 70s? (side thought: what year is the show in, exactly, now? I don’t think there have been any obvious tells this episode.) I looked it up on wikipedia and there is no ready answer there but apparently the Rolling Stones filmed a video on the stoop of a St. Mark’s building in 1981, so St. Mark’s had to be mainstream cool by 1981. I guess that jibes with it being up-and-coming/hip/young/exciting/new in the early 70s.
by the way, that stretch of St. Mark’s before you get to 1st Ave has to be my least favorite part of Manhattan right after the whole Times Square area and the blocks around Rockefeller Center where it’s impossible to walk anywhere because half of the sidewalk is occupied by street vendors selling hideous art and the other half is occupied by people walking glacially because they’re actually looking at it. it’s seedy as fuck over there, on that stretch of St. Mark’s.
did you know: on google street view you can walk right the fuck into this restaurant on St. Mark’s? huh?? you can catch a frame of SportsCenter back by the kitchen. wild. pretty soon Google Earth is going to turn the entire populated world into a really boring Myst clone.
