Honestly the thing that's stood out to me the most revisiting the episodes is how much Stan grew over the course of the series, like I for real was shocked when he was introduced because I did not remember him being that much of an rear end in a top hat.

Imagine how relaxed don would be if he smoked more weed and grew a beard.

Like an alternate timeline where he switches to weed instead of alcoholism after smoking in the first episode and just shows up to client meetings baked out of his mind.

Edit: imagine don and Roger doing acid together God drat it we were robbed

I loved my kid but didn't start to bond with her until she was like three or four months old and could actually respond to things I was doing. Fatherhood before then was a merciless slog of trying to care for a tiny screaming black hole. It gets talked about more now and it can happen with women too but it's still shocking when you're looking at a tiny baby and not feeling what you're 'supposed' to.

I mean now she's awesome but all relationships take time.

I think Don just got hit with the double whammy of not being satisfied in any of his relationships and also never getting that promised magic moment. (Because he cannot open up)

I believe when Peggy's telling the kid that his mom's flushing "things" she's referring to tampons, not drugs. Presumably these are new tenants.

Is this the right time to say I really enjoyed following this thread? Because I did, it was a treat to re-experience one of my favourite tv shows along with someone who was excited about it too and the recaps and ensuing discussion connected some dots I'd previously missed. So, thanks.

Same, I really appreciated the chance to revist this.
