yakalskovich | Man Men episode 4.12 -- running commentary

Yay, the recap suggests more Sallie Draper, and the creepy kid Glen Bishop in addition!
When is this episode set? Baby Gene is suddenly a whole lot bigger than the last time we saw him.
'Maybe in six months' -- Don uses the same excuse to Midge that the Heinz bloke used to him!
Everybody has to 'think about it' and postpones decisions and commitments. I see a bit of a theme here.
Wow early drug addiction. How naively she confesses to taking heroin, back then!
Six months again. It's a theme. In six months, they're dead. Midge too, probably, much more literally.
I like the typographic wood art object in the background of that panicked impromptu meeting. And Peggy is listening again...
Six months again! Everything is good for six month's life at the moment...
Heee Sallie, WTG! You just outweirded Glen the weird kid!
Yes, Don, the same Midge you used as a sounding board for your amazing creative ideas in the pilot episode which I just rewatched last week, dubbed in German...
Wow -- he got the distinction 'addiction' and transferred it to smoking from staring at Midge's lackluster painting for long enough. That is the creative Don Draper we all admire!
Wow and he put that thing in the New York Times! Even Henry reads it. Don has me going 'wow' a lot this episode, again. And not because I find him attractive - because I don't.
It's an ad!! He bought a page of ad space in the NYT, certain that everybody who mattered would read it. Oh, the age of centralised mass media...
Whoah! Do they mean before that, the concept of firing a client didn't exist??
Heeeee Roger! At least somebody else is as guilty now.
Did Bobby Kennedy really speak like that? He sounds like a bad parody of something.
It was a bad parody! Again with the not being able to tell where a call is coming from, like Roger in his hotel room last week. Damn Ted Shaw (spelling may vary)!
Poor old Bert fires himself...
Hey, Peggy, that's the best chance of firing Rizzo you'll ever get. Fire Rizzo, he's a douchebag!!
Finally, Don paid Pete back for taking the fall in the American Aviation mess!
What a depressing ending, with everybody slinking off dejectedly with those brown cardboard boxes...
