I saw this episode title out of the corner of my eye…thought is was the actual show Severance. Almost wet my pants from excitement. (Please review it, lol)

Actuarial Lurker

Its April 1970...so the show started in March 1960 and ends later in 1970

RIP Rachel Menkin...so we see that she WAS the love of his life....and hints that the potential for a further SPIRAL is NOT over....The waitress looks like Rachel....still trying to decide what the John Dos Passos reference really means other than the short stories are a series of character studies in "ordinary life" and not the Madison Avenue hype...hence ny comment last episode about remembering the Hawaii ad where the character sheds his clothes and all James Mason walks into the ocean to get rid of his earthly trappings....is that a good thing as in Buddhist detachment from the material?...is been 8 years since he saw her when out in Season 2 with Bobbie Barrett and they ran into Rachel with her new husband Tilden Katz....

If you thought Kenny in Season 1 wanting to see what color underwear Allison was wearing in the Nixon versus Kennedy episode was sexist and misogynist...what about the McCann execs....will Joan and Peggy be able to fend off these pigs?

So Kenny gets fired just like Bert Peterson for jumping ship from McCann after Season 3 to going Sterling Copper and report to Pete after they formed the new firm....it makes us wonder if the entire Mad Man show is Ken's version of Sterling's Gold....told years later

That's really good. She did seem special. Of all his mistresses he's had. She definitely seemed like "the one."

The enigmatic waitress... Like Rachel, like Sylvia, like the woman on the airplane: dark-haired with a sense of melancholy and guilt or grief. A darkness that draws Don to her, and vice-versa. I like that we don't know if it was truly a coincidence that Don dreamed about Rachel soon after she passed away, or if, like Diana said, time got all mixed up in his head and therefore ours. (of course his secretary cutting the emotion with a "from the name I just pictured some old lady") The 70s looks finally! I love that we see Roger and Ted with those mustaches, embracing the times. And Stan's majestic hair! Don looking the same as ever, as you've noticed throughout the show, rejecting the times.

It's a shame how Joan, who was indeed a working woman, a single mom who lives with her own mom, worked at Sterling Cooper for 15 years as of this season, is so wounded by the clothes store employee recognizing that she once worked there that she has to shut it down. She was embarrassed when Pete caught her there in S3 too, and she outright denies it this episode because it conflicts with how she wants to be viewed. After Peggy's "You're filthy rich, you don't have to do anything" comment maybe she went there to indeed indulge in some luxury, but the mere reminder that she used to be on the same level as the woman serving her makes her realize she can't just live off that? There is a sense of clear cause and effect for the characters in this episode. Peggy and Joan's classic clash of the different ways they live in a sexist system, and the comments each makes about the other leads them both into different directions. Peggy changes her mind on the date and wants to feel valued uniquely as a woman after what Joan said. I actually find the date she's on to be rather charming, it reminded me of kind of the opposite situation when we saw her on a date in S1, where she judged his career, he called her snooty and also made a disparaging comment about her attractiveness. It was in a similar-looking restaurant too. But with this guy things turned out better, even if there was a distinct feeling of disillusionment and embarrassment when their drunken plan didn't work out. Who knows what might've happened if she found her passport. Ken, consequently has a clear journey of digging himself a hole. Urged by his wife to retire, but because of his pride he won't. Gets fired the next day, seems like he's going to accept it, but because of pride he won't. Maybe we'll see more, maybe we don't. I think you guys did mention a season or so ago that he seems to be the only genuinely happy one in the office, so him falling into pettiness after the car accident, losing an eye and now this is some whiplash...

His connection to the afterlife is noticed. It's really profound. I hope that his style doesn't change ever. I love that he is a man out of time

Peggy Lee - Is That All There Is? It's the song from the intro and outro. Thanks to this series I got an introduction to so many great songs from an era previously unknown to me.

heheheheheh

The girl in the opening scene is Andie McDowell's daughter, Rainey Qualley. Andie from Groundhog day., she was quite a stunner herself (still is!) :) Interesting that her character is called Cindy, when I first saw it she reminded me of Cindy Crawford.

heheheheheh

I feel sad for Ken's journey. Advertising turned a hopeful, creative writer into a petty middle-aged man with one eye.

I think what is even sadder he's going to work for DOW CHEMICALS, of all places. Literally selling evil.
