All of the shows this season will be 62 minutes long.
Just to be safe I am recording 70 minutes.

Good start. Pete was truly livid with his "promotion". Haha.
Who knew Kate Bosworth's sister would have such a bangin' bod. The look on Don's face when his daughter finds the TWA pin was hilarious.
Sal's look of mortification when Don sees him with the bellhop in his bedroom was pitch-perfect.

I want to know what happened to "Duck", I'm sure e was fired but I would like to know just a bit more even if its just an allusion.
Good lord, there's nothing worse than the foul stench of desperation when someone wants to be famous.

Apparently I was misinformed, tonight was about 52 minutes.
I still have an American Airlines pin from a long ago stewardess encounter.

If it had been more recent, it would have been a "flight attendant" encounter. :)

I'm surprised they didn't address Pete with Peggy's revelation about the baby, but I guess the best is yet to come. I see they wanted to establish the new characters first, as well as create the immediate conflict between Pete and Cosgrove.
If, for some dumb reason, AMC decides to cancel this show, couldn't another network pick it up and continue the seasons?

It's Don's. She (and the audience) were already aware of her pregnancy before her encounter with the guy in the bar.

This episode just flew by, I was shocked when the episode was over.
Was there really a Pepsi diet drink by the name of Patio? Ye gads!
Don really can sell snow to eskimos.

I liked how this episode handled Peggy's story in a kind of staccato fashion with brief scenes sketching in her mounting personal and professional frustration leading to a physical outlet followed by back to business professionalism in the last scene. The fact that the commercial breaks occured after Peggy scenes actually underlined this arc.

He was was using the grass as a conduit to touch her or be connected to her. A beautiful but sad kind of scene that shows his desires haven't changed all that much despite his resolve to stay faithful to his family.
I remember an episode of Star Trek: TNG when Riker was describing looking up at the moon every night and believing Troi was looking at it as well and that being the way they were connected across a great distance.
This case was less romantic but the same idea.

I'm not sure I get the scene with Don touching the grass and zoning out as he watched the teacher doing her spring dance. Anyone care to take a shot?

Would his behavior be from Alzheimer's or from the stroke?
