Ed,

As an avid viewer, I was fascinated with the references to Roger’s WWII wounds that never healed. The best line of the night came when Joan told Roger that what he had done was make the world safer, implying that’s what made this business deal now possible.

If you aren’t doing so already, may I suggest watching the program while following the live thread with other viewers who are commenting in real time.

They often catch subtleties and nuances that I’ve missed on the first viewing. (Yes, I stick around to watch the back-to-back replay on AMC). Mad Men is appointment TV for me every Sunday night.

Thanks for the great write up about one of the best programs out there. Delighted to see you’re into Don Draper, Pete Campbell, Peggy, Joan, and the rest of the Mad Men crew.
