Additional Comments: Well last night should have filled in some of the holes for those who didn't see the first yrs of the show. They are really making lots of headway on this story. I wonder where it will go next? I think Nov 22,1963 is the final show. For those who didn't watch from the beginning the firm worked on the Nixon campaign. Should be interesting.

Wasn't last night's ep wonderful? Wow! Those scenes between Don and Betty were expertly acted and had me on the edge of my seat. I kept waiting for Don to figure out a way to let Miss Maypole (waiting out in the car) know that he wouldn't be joining her for that romantic getaway after all. But no. And I just loved how Jon Hamm literally transformed himself from THE Don Draper to Dick Whitman before our (and Betty's) eyes. Master class in acting, that. Both actors really brought it. Oh, and when Joanie beaned Dr. Rapist with that vase I laughed out loud!! I read online that the series' creator and writer, Matt Wiener, has said that the next-to-last episode (next sunday's) will be the most climactic, and the last ep of this season will be the denouement of that, tying up loose ends, etc. Man, I cannot wait to see the fallout from this last ep, and especially to see how Don and Betty's relationship might change, now that Betty Knows All.

It really was great episode. Wonderful acting from all. When Don told Betty he didn't know how she could love him it told so much about him. eom CG

I love the show. The actors the acting, the history, the furnishings. I love the way they just light up cigarettes anywhere. LOL I loved the kids Halloween costumes, a Gypsy and Hobo. OMG were we ever anything else? Both would probably be politically incorrect today.

The only thing I find not realistic is the way Betty is so cold to her kids. I get it , she's bored with being ''just a housewife'' but she never cracks a smile to the kids.

Last Sundays show was great! C G they comment more about Mad Men on the TV side of MD.
