Tyrion Lannister will know he's really got problems if he discovers his devoted girlfriend is working with a manservant named Ted, wearing a suit, with an expression of vaguely lascivious banality on his face.

Ted on How I Met Your Mother is pretty awful as well.

I could've sworn Don had made that "heart about to burst" speech before... but about something else

Howard Johnson's, iirc.
the Planet of the Apes scene made that whole episode worth it for methe stunned silence in the theater after the ending, the look on Bobby and Don's faces as they took it all in, the way Bobby said 'jeeeeeeeeezus' & that look of approval Don gave him
but it's also SO fucking Don Draper that the moment he realizes he loves his son is the moment his son is confronted with huge questions of mortality, existence... I did share a little bit of reddening's OH FUCK YOU that Don gets overwhelmed with love in that moment. Why? oh because your kid reminds him of himself. selfish dick. Like that's what you want for your kid. For him to be an adult sailboat bobbing around in the ocean wondering what it all means. Cue 'Cats In The Cradle' and pour yourself a scotch, you sad sack of shit.
also I finally realized what Betty's face makeup was reminding me of: Jiminy Glick :(

Don's just missing Sylvia, is all. Has he ever been so mopey over any of the other women? Maybe the teacher, idk.
― Jaq, Tuesday, 30 April 2013 16:48 (eleven years ago) link
Don's always mopey!

Nah, not like this, not all love-sick and hopeless because of a ladyfriend. Even with Midge, it was like "oh, damn you obviously actually love this other guy. whatever." and on to the next one.
― Jaq, Tuesday, 30 April 2013 16:51 (eleven years ago) link
I have/had the feeling that Don's missing the Dr. Like he's having an affair with the wife, but he's equally or more concerned about his new life-saving witty jew friend.

I'm really tired of Don and/or Matthew Weiner using his childhood as an excuse for all of the shitty things he does too.

The Planet of the Apes part of the episode was my favorite part, because I love that movie and it made me think a bit more about the context in which it was released.
I've always been miffed that no one has ever tried to make this musical or the musical about the Betty Ford Clinic from the Simpsons for real.

Also it was a great illustration of the power of fiction; it made Bobby engage with the issues of his his era far more than the news possibly could.

yeah i'm not sure what it added up to but the mix of assassinations/rioting-perceived-as-apocalyptic and a film that actually broaches the issue of apocalypse was kind of heady here. like a nice piece of film criticism in a way. i wish mad men would operate on that level more often instead of tossing about little "interpret-able" teasers for the "day-after-blog-response" crowd.

He's not mopey over Sylvia ffs, it's a mixture of grim sexual compulsion and rampant self-loathing.

He's probably pretty disgusted by the fact his son is growing up to look like Pete Campbell as well.

Yeah one thing that I took from this ep was Don's compulsive behavior being paralleled by Bobby peeling the wallpaper, then hiding it out of shame.
