I guess this isn't a spoiler now that we've passed the episode, but I'll spoil it just in case:

Rich Sommer has talked about how Harry was supposed to kill himself at the end there, and Matt Weiner changed it last minute to keep him around because he liked the character.

As far as it would have been questionable to have 2 suicides as major plot points in season one alone, Harry taking his own life would certainly make his conversation with Don about the cave paintings/handprints and the absolute human desire to say "I was here, I meant something" that much more meaningful.

Sal’s actor certainly made the right decision by never coming back—it’s almost comical how horrifically every later season cameo hosed up their lives. Kinsey? Boom! Joined a cult. Midge? Strong, independent female counterculture artist, well, time to spin the wheel of misery aaaaand: heroin addicted prostitute. Roger’s daughter? Hmm gonna go back to the “cult” well I think.

Mad Men’s California is such a silly, wonderful place. It’s almost more like taking a trip into Faerie than flying into another state

I don’t think I could say the next episode is the best episode of the series, there’s too much strong competition, but it is no doubt my favorite episode

Mad Men heist episode number 2. You can tell how much fun they had with the season 3 finale!

This is an important ep as it confirms that Don isn’t specced as an Illusionist, as you might have expected, but is in fact a single class Necromancer

My take on Don is that he loves to cum.

Ted with the aviator shades, Roger being the happiest we’ve ever seen him firing Burt, Peggy laying down the law for Don….lotta great moments. I’ve never gelled with Don/l and Sylvia’s dabbling into the dom/sub stuff even on rewatches.

i sometimes wonder if Jerusalem accidentally moused over some of the spoilers would he just assume we were loving with him or jokingly exaggerating when in fact no, this just such a strange show when you try to write it out or sum it up

it’s funny, in my memory of this scene Ken already had the eyepatch. I do appreciate how he’s wearing a green suit like some kind of drat leprechaun

Abe getting stabbed isn’t quite on the level as the lawnmower scene but it’s almost as good, and I love how completely banal he is with breaking up with Peggy in the ambulance.

mad men is extremely consistent in its messaging that smoking weed and dropping acid are not only cool as heck but will make you into a better, more self actualized person
