Season 2 premiers tonight!
I think it's gonna take awhile to get back on track. It was pretty boring!scotrace said:The opener for this season was kind of a dud.
Well, upon further reflection, I guess the premiere was more about the how society has changed, (it's now '62--14 months after last year's finale) and how the characters are existing in this new world. I was hoping for more storyline, but that will surely be coming.Beowulf67 said:It was kind of slow and I agree that new viewers might have been put off somewhat. But they seem to be setting up a lot of different subplots that should develop very well in the coming season.
And I loved the scene on the elevator where Don told the guy to take his hat off and then just reached over and took it off for him. lol

A.R. McVintage said:I'm fairly certain he was more interested in having his hat off in front of the woman than for the fact he was in an elevator. Him pulling off the other guy's hat completely derailed their "I slept with that chick!" discussion.

A man takes off his hat outdoors (and indoors):

J. M. Stovall said:Hat etiquette clearly states that you remove your hat on an elevator when a woman is present. It's not necessary to have your hat off in the presence of a woman in a public space in general. And obviously he used that fact to get those guys to shut up.
Lets review:
Indoors, a man should always remove his hat, (particularly in a home, church, school, court room or restaurant) except:
(1) in public buildings or public places such as railroad stations or post offices;
(2) in a general department store;
(3) or while seated at the "lunch counter" of a diner or cafe;
(4) in entrance halls and corridors of office buildings, or hotels;
(5) in elevators of public or office buildings, unless a woman is present;
(6) if carrying packages, parcels or bags and both hands are occupied upon entry.
A man takes off his hat outdoors (and indoors):
(1) when he is being introduced to someone, or when saying goodbye to a woman, elder, friend or ;
(2) as a greeting when passing someone he knows, particularly a lady, on the street (In some cases, tipping or lifting a hat and bowing slightly may be used as a substitute for removing a hat, as a passing gesture);
(3) while talking, particularly with a woman, an older man, or a clergyman;
(4) while the National Anthem is being played, or the American Flag is passing;
(5) at a funeral or in the presence of a passing funeral procession,
(6) when speaking to another of a virtuous woman or a dearly departed loved one.
I am sure Don Draper would agree...as he is cheating on his wife with his beatnick girlfriend then asking another woman to run off to another country with him.A.R. McVintage said:To me respecting a woman and accomodating her comes before doing something purely because of an etiquette book (that pesky sense of doing something right because it's right and not because somebody wrote it down rears its head. Darn.) and I'd assume Don Draper feels the same way.
