THAT'S IT:  Our Twitter feed suggests that any Mad Men conversation can't wait until tomorrow. So a few preliminary bullets from me, below the fold:

  • It was all a dream, a horrible, horrible, overly literal dream, right?  And one which didn't need to be matched by having Sally cowering under furniture as well a few scenes later.
  • Yay, Joan. About fucking time, and especially because she didn't forget what happened before the marriage.  May Greg face the same fate as Doug Niedermeyer.
  • We almost never get Peggy-Roger scenes. That was brilliant. My goodness has she grown up.
  • Is this where Sally starts to follow her mother's path? Because Seconal's kinda hardcore.
  • Nice to get a Zosia Mamet sighting before her new job starts next week on HBO.
  • When was the last time a Mad Men episode revolved so little around the work? Yes, there was the stuff about the shoe pitch, but it felt so peripheral.
Last week may have been a misstep; we're back on track now.
