Mr. Belding was on Mad Men. Nothing else happened in the episode.

Didn't like it that much, I thought it was up there with Fat Betty for worst episode of the season

the girl who played Beth is a really really really bad actress

Pete is headed down a bad path, and without Megan around all the time Don may be too

Rory Gilmore was kind of a letdown.

Yea, pretty bad episode. Megan really wants to be a copy writer. She gets her break. Then next week, " I don't want to be a copy writer". She has been a pretty solid character, but now she's at least lost a step.

Loved "Tomorrow Never Knows" at the end, though. Surprised it took as long as it did for Don to turn it off.

Pretty bleh episode over all, it was kind of all over the place.

Mr Belding was fun and they licensed a Beatles song? Wow bet that cost a pretty penny.

I didn't hate it. I think it will prove to be an important episode in terms of where Peter and Don both go from this point on.

I don't think it was Fat Betty levels of annoying.

Other than The Beatles, Mr. Belding and Pete carrying skis; I thought the episode was pretty lame.

It's interesting to see how Megan's actions affect both Don and Peggy. IMO Don feels he is losing control; when he goes to run after Megan when she leaves the office all he gets is an open elevator shaft. Peggy too is probably starting to question what her role is at SCDP, she worked her way up but is still very much connected at the hip to Don.

The episode was a bit tedious but there were some interesting character developments.

I was shocked to hear Tomorrow Never Knows on a TV show. That's my favourite song of all time.

Tomorrow Never Knows is an amazing song. Perfect closer to one of their best albums and was perfect in this scene. I thought the latest episode was one of the best of the season as well. Except for that Gilmore Girls chick. She couldn't act her way out of a paper bag.

I'm really liking this show lately. I always thought it was on a lower tier than Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, etc, but I am coming around.

Upon further consideration, my previous comment was made in haste.

It's a good show, I'd put an order of greatness at The Wire, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos

All have great stories with great characters. The Wire's social commentary puts it at the top, Mad Men lets you witness the changing of social norms, Breaking Bad is just a cool story with greatacting and Sopranos had a lot too, but too much filler for my liking.

The day Sally Draper learned who her mother was. There are storm clouds coming in general.
