When we last saw Don, he was in the glow of sunlight through the window of DC8 on his way to Los Angeles to get away from his domestic travails. Itâs the primal tactic of flight when fight doesnât work. Good old running away. After the week we have witnessed, we should all be so

Don's a good-looking blank canvas that the writers put different demands on week to week. And when they get lazy, they just cut and paste: "Draper stares wistfully into middle distance as if considering the meaning of life." Perhaps it's purposeful, but they've created in Don Draper an empty emotional void at the center of the series.

David, the reference to Ripley is dead on, even, as you say, without actual homicide. I wonder if Weiner is going to resolve Don's identity crisis at the end of the series. That too, would be unique on tv.

Young Herman Kahn protege, talking about MIRV's. Same as the articles in Popular Science, that I read when I was 12. No wonder my retirement plan was nuclear war for so long.
"LIttle girl, don't get any ideas!" (so she hasn't had one in years!)
Whew. Thought Joy's spine was going to light up.

"I take it you're well off?" Jesus.
I really get the feeling that Matt Weiner poured all his adolescent fantasies into Don Draper but, being such a painfully uncool guy himself, is ultimately incapable of pulling it off. (No euphemism intended)
So he's gone from Dick to Don to Dick. Am I reading too much into that?

Well, that ploy didn't work so well the first time he tried it, so he's probably wary.
I come here and see that everything that I want to say-the Eurotrash are obviously grifters and I thought I heard the theme from "Rome"-I find it's already on the table.
Gee, you guys are good.
I've never seen much talk about the time a woman called Dick/Don's bluff at the car dealership? Was that a real job for him, or was he imagining a path not taken?
