That all sounds good, but he can never really be Dick Whitman; I mean, we know that.. he's not going to own up to being Dick Whitman unless he wants to be tried for deserting the military, pretending to be an officer, etc. So, that's not going to happen.. but he may lead his life differently...

Well that sure as heck was a game changer. I have no idea where the next season will pick up, but could be damn interesting..

I thought tonight's episode was fantastic. It was good to see characters from wildly different angles than we've seen. And we lined up the pins for Peggy. What a high high and a low low for Don.. wow.

Pete strikes me as the kind of person in the corporate world I run into that always sees the negatives about every possible option.. there is no option out there that would match with his end goals, so why even bother, as far as Pete is concerned. Joan is trying to become a full partner. She...

Was it all a Vietnam allusion? Is Chevy SDCP's Vietnam.. ? Interesting analysis here: http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2013/05/20/mad_men_season_6_episode_8_the_crash_is_scdp_fighting_its_vietnam.html

Mark that one down as one of the strangest episodes of the entire series.

I don't think we can conclude that is it.. I think it's something that will linger. Remember, for people in NY, the RFK assassination was huge; but it happened while they were sleeping, at night in California... so the impact wasn't as immediate or in a place where they were awake to think...

I really liked Joan's remorse over that too.. that she turned and said "and all of that for.. what!?!" Basically pointing out that she gave up her virtue now for a client they don't even have any longer. Yes, the merger will be a bit trickier, but as private companies (this was long before...

Now that is how you shake things up and get people all back on the same page. Pete is a scumbag, but you have to wonder if this revelation about his FIL to Trudy is going to change the makeup of that relationship.

Lots of great moments last night: * Joan's Awkward hug ranks very high in my list of Mad Men great comic moments out of tragedy * The argument over the cost of MLK's shooting on their advertising that got heated. * Peggy's realization that her live in NYT man really does love her and sees a...

Though probably more than Pete, who basically just landed Clearasil to lose them.

In the end, about 1/2 the people I know in the corporate world fit this description; they stumbled into the right position at the right time, when almost anyone in their department could have done it. But they are still rewarded - and fairly - because they could have done it much worse.

Oh, and no Betty again this week.

This was the kind of Mad Men episode we haven't seen since Season 1 or 2, an episode where the pitches really came to center stage. We started with a pitch to Dow Chemical, to help revamp their image and get people thinking about them as a home and friendly company with a TV Show they would...

I did love Pete getting whacked at both the home and work fronts; so fitting. I really enjoy everything about the Peggy storyline as well; we're kind of seeing a transition of Don coasting while Peggy is the hungry tiger, so to speak to get the work she wants. Still, Don basically getting...

Yes, I loved the moment with Sandy.. and you really get the feeling Betty is trending on becoming a bitter old woman who just sees the world as a giant let down. They brought up again her modelling career, and with her new body type she feels the sting.. Sandy dressed her down for her failure...

Newspaper gave it away; it started near Christmas, 1967 and it's now 1968 after the New Years Eve bash.

So many plots floating right off the bat, but such a great intro to the season; I especially enjoyed everything on Peggy's end. Betty as a brunette.. hmm. But the rebellious daughter storyline and the late 60s feel is right on; had a very Simon & Garfunkel feel to the facial hair ;) One...

I think it's 67, but I could be wrong. Somewhere I'm thinking I read that
