Lipitor (atorvastatin) for High Cholesterol: This medicine is wonderful. My cholesterol was around 225. After taking Lipitor is around 130. Amazing stuff. Works very well.

I was disappointed, actually cringing, at the overly mannered dialogue and performances of the charcter Pete Campbell and his wife. It almost entered "Desperate Housewives" territory with the rigid and strangely stilted acting of both actors.

I thought for a moment that Don and Bobbie were gonna T-Bone Roger O. Thornhill's
car driving through Glen Cove, with a CGI generated guest appearance by Cary Grant.

Zipper soloist made me laugh because .. this actor was a second banana on "Dharma & Greg" playing Greg's sidekick, a goofy fellow lawyer. And this is exactly the kind of business they'd write for Dharma & Greg Guy -- coming out of his office to play a tune on his zipper with the same "look what I discovered!" expression on his face. Don't know what this means, if anything (why would anyone want to give a shout-out to Dharma & Greg?). It was just funny.

Peggy's calling Don by his first name had a pivotal quality.

That last scene could have been called "The American Family going through the motions" or "Donna Reed meets the alienation effect."

Don giving Peggy advice about how "this never happened" is actually deeply chilling. Peggy is making a deal with the Devil--

As far as I can tell, no. Which fits the pattern of executives I've seen at his level. :)

I don't think the Mozartian zipperist has been in the last couple episodes, though he's familiar from last season.

Pete wanking into a cup (thankfully offscreen)--Slattery playing paddle-ball--the zipper solo...it's some kind of thematic motif.

Pete physically looks a lot like Don right now

I don't recognize the Zipper Soloist. Where's that Duck guy?

That zipper solo--needs work.

The New Girl, just giving it the old college try. Surely Joan should get that.

"Professional decorum" at Sterling Cooper? What, huh?

Bobbie is Don-obsessed. Could be actual trouble--

It's interesting how Jimmy Barrett manages to be an irritating presence even when he isn't on screen.

Lipitor has been known to make me a crazy man...

I have high blood pressure too but I've never used it as a cover story for carousing with another woman and wrecking a car.

But that's just me, I don't mean to "judge."

That's a power move for Peggy...the queen of self-invention.

Uh, Stony Brook is on the north shore - that'd be the sweet Long Island Sound you're smelling, sweetheart.

Liquor straight from the bottle--classy.
