I just wish they'd get out of that dark old houseThe house Betty is in now is even darker then the one she was in before. I can barely stand to watch those scenes.

Which is to say it misses the point in many ways
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.
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.

Don's just missing Sylvia, is all. Has he ever been so mopey over any of the other women?
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.

i don't think joan should have been mad at don. don's not the one who wanted her to sleep with that slimeball, so it wasn't hypocritical for him to stand up to that dude when he felt insulted. that was one of the few times when he was not being a slimeball iirc
