The song "The Ballad of TV Violence" from the first '77 self titled Cheap Trick album was originally called "The Ballad of Richard Speck" and is about Richard Speck. Their label made them change the track to "The Ballad of TV Violence" because they thought "The Ballad of Richard Speck" was too offensive.

Tminus how many episodes until Peggy sleeps with Ginsberg
I said pretty much exactly this during Ginsberg's first scene. He's exactly the kind of borderline insane dick she ends up going for.

Put that scene, the tractor accident, and a few others together, you could make a pretty convincing fake trailer about Mad Men as a horror movie.

loved the dream. spooky, bewildering, suited the episode (which i thought was pretty great overall). rewatched it with my gf last night. she freaked the fuck out @ the dream sequence and i had to bite my tongue hard to keep from spoil(er)ing it.

yeah that was wack. i thought the episode was good overall (better than the first three, anyway) and i got so excited when he killed the woman then felt so cheated. this manipulative bullshit feels old hat.

you seriously didn't realise it was a dream the whole time? that said, it would have been cool if the show turned into The Fugitive

the thing I wondered about was ... do people really have service elevators in their kitchen?
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 23:51 (twelve years ago) link
not only service elevators, but service elevators behind weird semi-concealed wallpapered doors?
i'm surprised no one else mentioned dong draper (or lack thereof), have we no libidos?
― michael nyman cat (Merdeyeux), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 23:55 (twelve years ago) link
I guess the shots in which it should've shown up didn't register as such to me
― raw feel vegan (silby), Tuesday, 10 April 2012 23:58 (twelve years ago) link
xp if you had a service elevator wouldn't you hide it behind a wallpaper door?
maybe he dreamt the service elevator
― Number None, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 00:01 (twelve years ago) link
i figured it was a door to a back hallway in which she would find the service elevator, not a straight-up elevator door in the kitchen
― preternatural concepts concerning variances in sound and texture (contenderizer), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 00:02 (twelve years ago) link
but yeah, dream sequence, who knows
I think I would've been annoyed at the fever dream if it didn't align so well, thematically, with the rest of the episode.
― Cuba Pudding, Jr. (jaymc), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 00:04 (twelve years ago) link

i didn't like the dream sequence - it made me feel queasy so i guess it was effective, and i can see how it fit the episode's essential themes, but i found it unconvincing and i totally rolled my eyes. excellent episode otherwise, though. weiner packs a lot of stuff into 50 minutes.

I'm not completely convinced by the dream sequence, but loved the rest of the episode. Everyone might have been a bit too clever, but there were enough interesting bits. Sally and Henry's mom interacting was great.

dream sequence was telegraphed from the moment he collapsed on the bed and by the time he was strangling the woman it's moving into insulting that they are asking me to suspend disbelief that this is "actually happening"c.f. betty's dream sequence in ep prior

Maybe the only part that was a dream was where he thought he killed her.
