J. M. Stovall said:See, I get the exact opposite impression. I think Draper represents change, moving into a new time. The two guys in the elevator representing the old ways, objectification and repression of women. It's Don reading beatnik poetry by Frank O'Hara and giving a women a job as a junior copywriter (gasp!), to the shock and bewilderment of the other men in the office. Like we discussed earlier, these are well written and complicated characters.

It's by Kyu Sakamoto: "Sukiyaki" or "Japanese Love Song" for those who don't speak Japanese. Apparantly they played it a year too early for it to have been playing in America in the episode, unless the restaurant owners smuggled it over.
Maybe they did it because Kyu died in a plane crash himself in 1985. Also of interest: the guy that played Pete's father actually died in real life in January of '08 in an avalanche!
Yes you need to! Season one was exceptional!Treesaaw said:The first episode I watched was the season 2 opener this past weekend and now I'm hooked! I definitely need to get the DVDs and catch up.
Bingles said:Does anyone else watch to see if there are any historical inaccuracies in shows/movies like this? I was wondering if they would show a scene taking place in a Catholic Church before the changes of Vatican II. I still attend the "old" Liturgy, and have studied it quite a bit. The five minutes they showed of the Mass... they got wrong. Ha Ha!

RedHotRidinHood said:If you remember in season one, Betty figured out that Don had been talking to her therapist, and then the next time she went she said something to the effect of "I wish my husband was faithful to me." I just bet that the doctor relayed that information to Don and it shook Don up, hence the good husband behavior. Also, about 2 years have elapsed in the timeline and now that Don is getting older, maybe the appeal of having affairs has waned.
We know she was suspicious. And after finding out Don was talking to her shrink, don't you think she was just saying that stuff to him to put it out there, with no real proof? If it got back to Don (which of course was her intent), that could be the point when he stopped cheating.A.R. McVintage said:Betty knows. It was revealed last season.

Bingles said:They were at the part where the priest recites the "Domine non sum dignus".. "Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but say the word and my soul shall be healed." He is supposed to say it three times.. not FIVE, and then turn to the congregation and recite the "Ecce agnus Dei.." "Behold the lamb of God...". That part was omitted all together.
