I loved the episode, as well, though I found myself wishing more for the Don/Roger backstory, though it was paralleled well with Roger's wife's cousin or whatever it was.

Every episode this season trumps the last episode as being my favorite yet. I loved the punch Draper threw at Duck. So good.
- He got some serious air on that one. I really wanted to see Duck get crushed though.CyBrain

Peggy is one of my least favorite characters and kind of annoying to listen to to be honest.

- In general, she's supposed to be the only voice of reason. I think it's the point of the show.CyBrain

My god - this show just gets better and better.
The acting was phenomenal - and although not that much happened, the storyline kept me completely engrossed. I love the fact it just focused on the one evening.
The attention to detail and care that's been taken in production is astounding. I love the art direction.
I thought the scene where Peggy went to the toilet to cry really stood out; neglecting the usual carefully composed framing style, lighting and grading that gives the show such a distinctive feel, made it feel so much more raw and immediate. The heavy fade-to-black cuts are genius - so simple, but they punctuate the story stylishly, and suggest an actual absence between scenes.
I love it, can't wait for the next one.

I'm liking the new Don.

The new Don:
swimming, drinking, living on Waverly and 6th, many women, Rolling Stones SatisfactionThe old Don:
drinking, drinking to near death, living in the burbs with a hot wife, but very bitchy

New Don is a nice man .. not the narcissist who we grew to know. At first I thought the change was taking place too quickly .. and smoothly, but who's to say it wouldn't I guess; with a death acting as a classic watershed moment. He's been thinking back over his past gradually ever since Betty .. so there has been quite a build-up.
I think conceptually, I liked the fact that Don was character with very particular traits - and the way he's been portrayed as a bit of an enigma.
I've been brought up to think of personality as something that's quite inflexible .. while a person's character often looks different in the light and in amongst the shadows, I think a person's basic psychological make-up is there for good (save for a huge life altering event / mental breakdown or physical ailment).
Maybe I've got quite a cynical view regarding human capacity to change. The progression of Don's character seems far more optimistic.
Like the new Don too though.

The voice over narrative seems like a cop out, but at the same time i really like it.
