ugh I hate that recap montage style - surely other cop shows did that before the Wire?

Antonioni had some English session guys do these two Spoonful covers.

Didn't Sopranos do a similar style of montage at the beginning/end of a coupla seasons?

I saw a post from 15 years ago saying I loved potlucks. I fucking hate potlucks.

so, is it me or does this show skip almost the entirety of 1967?

Season 5 ends a few months after Christmas 1966 - Lane forges the check around Xmas and then a couple episodes later he's dead. The last episode seems to take place in maybe spring of '67?

And then when season 6 starts I think we're already in 1968?

Yeah. IIRC, they completely skip over the Summer of Love. Cagey.

The way the finale drew Don into real-life events, they could have started that in 1967: Don goes back to see Anna's niece, she drags him to Monterey, clip of Janis Joplin singing "Ball and Chain," and instead of a stunned Mama Cass, you instead cut to a stunned Don Draper.

Won't try to open this whole thread to see if there's a similar post, but beautiful images near the end of "Tea Leaves" where the kids chase fireflies on the front lawn.
