It's going to run over, so you might want to tape "extra."

Tiny snippets of spoilers for tonight, you know they keep a seriously tight reign on spoilers so these are just tantalizing little BITS.

Tagged anyway, just in case.

I thought it was one of the best MM shows I've seen. I haven't read any reviews yet. The updates on all the characters seemed so plausible and seamless. It took me a while to reorient myself to who was who and where were they all, because I had not watched any repeats or summaries of last year on purpose.

Now I'm really interested in the characters again and what is going to happen to them. I think last year I got tired of them and the repetition of the same thing. They are all in transition. Everyone was excellent, even Jessica Pare. And everyone was there, thank heavens. Well except Betty, and I think I could do without her in any case. It's going to be a great season, seven epis is not enough.

Yeah, it's only about 2 months later, in Jan of 1969.

One of the recappers/reviewers pointed out that we actually DID see Don, in one of his disguises--this time his words and style coming out of Freddy in the first scene! That was so cool, and I totally missed it.

I remember wearing dresses like Megan's!

Loved so much of this, although it was better on a 2nd and 3rd watching, and I think the recaps really helped me process it. My brain, she is dead right now, so I needed a little help. Sepinwall wrote a great one too, on Hitfix.

I am so happy Pete is happy. For some reason I adore that little shit and hope the best for him.

Yeah, probably cirrhosis of the liver. Basically where Don could have been headed, or still could. Too much booze.

I'm not spoiler tagging anything because if people haven't watched, they know to avoid this thread for now.

I wish they were airing all of them this year too, that REALLY sucks.

Good point about Pete's outfit! He's still in transition too!

What Supremes song?

Oh, and I knew guys like that new boss of Peggy's back then, it didn't seem a bit over the top to me. I didn't go to work for a few more years, but my first real grown up job boss was exactly like him. Hated women, and insulted them, dismissed them, and was also casually racist all the damn time. That all seemed quite believable to me.

Wasn't the end song "you keep me hangin on" a Supremes song?

I worked for guys who were living in the past, but they wouldn't even have known enough to make a "Gladys and the Pips" reference.

Let's not forget Weiner made mincement out of the new all knowing MBA too. My generation looked down our nose at MBA's as intellectual weaklings who had learned some quick and dirty slogans.

Oh that's right!

I LOVED that they used Vanilla Fudge's version. That bouncy upbeat sound of Motown and the Supremes didn't really fit the end of decade malaise that was 1969, or the episode (to me) but the Vanilla Fudge just nailed it.

I smiled when Megan got out of that car. I remember when ALL of my dresses and skirts were that short. ;) I was the first girl in school to be allowed to wear jeans because of my short skirts. Ha.

Megan looks good in almost 70's gear. And she won't have to get her teeth done, at least not yet.

I was wearing dresses like that in 1969, actually in 1968. I think, except for the sleeves, I think I owned one almost like Megan's at the airport, although it was in shocking pink!

I saved one of my dresses, and one skirt, and one "skort" from that time. They look like ice skating costumes!

Oh! I wanted to mention that Megan really had the whole walk/stoop without flashing her vag down. Girls today just don't seem to have the same knack we had of modesty while wearing REALLY short stuff. I notice it all the time on shows. This time I kept thinking "she's GOT it!" It's so subtle, but it's one of those things I know when I see it, and certainly know when I don't. Ha.

One thing puzzled me, why did Joan say to the snot nose MBA that shoe sales were going down. If anything I would think they would have been going up at that time. More women were entering the workplace and buying more shoes. I suppose hippies wore their sandals, but they wouldn't have had many pairs of shoes to begin with. Population was expanding, middle class was growing by leaps and bounds. People were buying homes, moving to the suburbs, etc. I couldn't think of a good reason shoe sales would be down.

I hope we don't have big scenes with Betty and or Henry, there is too little time to waste. I do want to see Sally and how she relates to Don after the events of last year.
