I want them to show the characters' reactions to Kennedy's assassination, so hoping for a return before that time frame next season.
Also hoping Matthew Weiner is back on board next season as well.

Me, too.
I got a chuckle out of Don watching Kennedy's address about the Cuban Missle Crisis on TV in his "expensive hotel," the TV was hopeless, with the picture going up and down at times. Cheap piece of junk!

And what was the deal with Pete holding his rifle at the end?

I hope they will start sometime in 1963 so the show will cover the Kennedy assassination, as well. Pete won't have to worry about getting drafted. In the early 60s married men were exempt from being drafted.
I had noticed the rifle was in the corner of his office when Peggy came in to have a drink with him. After the conversation with Peggy I was afraid he was going to use the rifle on himself.

I loved how Peggy "dressed down" Pete. What were her exact words, in parting? And hey, she put her hand on his shoulder before leaving...which would indicate that she still cared (at least a little). It would be up to Pete to decide if he wants to become a better man in Peggy's eyes, to win her over. After their affair, Pete didn't know how he wanted to be with her - for a while, he was cruel to her in public.

Isn't the rifle always there? It's the one he exchanged the "Chip 'n' Dip" for that he got for a wedding gift. The one his wife threw a fit over when he brought it home, and he later took back to the office.
I thought his sitting there with the rifle in hand at the end of the episode was him being prepared to defend the himself from the looters his wife was concerned about back at their apartment...

Re: Mad Men - season 2
i like how the feeling of uncertainty then is similar (obviously not nuclear now) to our financial crisis right now and prez. election. just that feeling of uncertainty is still there and what the priest said about it's uncertain all the time =).
PS was that season finale? are there more next week?

Pete was in his office at Sterling Cooper, holding his rifle.

Re: Mad Men - season 2
thx matt =D. that scene with duck blowing up was so funny
. don is the master of cool for sure. he's so perfect for the job. i luv the acting when he and betty are sitting down in the kitchen. just, no words nor any reactions, lol. then zoom out, just pure awesomeness.
re: pete+rifle holding reminds me of the old motif of how NYC can sometimes be a literal 'jungle'. it is an intense imagery paying tribute to the rawness of the times. i really dig it, very painterly.

Thanks for the clarification on how Pete got the rifle. This is the first time I had noticed it and I didn't watch the show as much last season. As noted above, Pete was definitely sitting in his office at the end of the episode.
