across the whole episode, but it was great. Really impressed so far with season 5.

that which I was largely too young to have more than a vague impression. I find it captivating. If you look at the show, there is really not that much major direct plot line running through it on a weekly basis, but the ATMOSPHERICS--wow.

wow, that episode took paranoia and the use of tension to whole new level and direction for Mad Men. I was starting to think that season 5 was passé, now I don't know what to think. Break out performance for Henry's mom, (and Sally was great too). Loved when Peggy shook down Roger.

I like watching Peggy try to walk her way through a very biased "men's world".... It is like living vicariously, since I've made some of the same mistakes--and conversely wish I'd tried a few things that she has to much greater effect. The shake down was GREAT. to Peggy.

He seems quite bored with his young wife & he's always had it for Joanie..
