I just got schooled on fb by a friend of a friend who says '60s radio was completely different than radio as we know it today, and two songs from 1968 (Turtles and Zombies) would likely have already fallen out of rotation for good by February 1969.

According to wiki, "Elenore" was the final Turtles single of '68 (its parent album came out in November), so it's not completely out of the question that it would still be on air on Valentine's '69. And the Zombies song was regular soundtrack, not radio source music. SO THERE you can tell your friend.
― Damnit Janet Weiss & The Riot Grrriel (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 21 April 2014 09:10 (ten years ago) link
Going deeper: "Elenore" was released in September '68, and the followup, "You Showed Me", appeared on 45 rpm in March '69.

But back to the ep itself: Such an improvement over last week. Don in the beginning, with the Ritz and the robe and the nostalgia tv--I, uh, know the feeling..
ALSO: “She has plans. Look at her calendar: Febuary 14, masturbate gloomily.”

There are hints of reconciliation afterwards — Don’s check skip fake-out makes light of their shared skill at deception while reassuring Sally that he’s not a monster — but their final moment in the car cements the fact that something pure that once existed between them has gone. “I love you,” she says, then shuts the door and goes inside, not giving Don a chance to respond.
I think this guy has it all wrong. Sally telling her father I love you is a sign that she is willing to trust him again. When's the last time anyone said those three words on this show?

yeah that's a bizarre misreading imo. don and sally stuff was great. i know thematically there's alot of sopranos 2.0 going on here but i still think this is gonna have a much less cynical conclusion. peg's a mess.
― balls, Monday, 21 April 2014 15:30 (ten years ago) link
yeah that's a funky reading of that scene, do not agree with vulture at all on that count
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 21 April 2014 15:32 (ten years ago) link
I agree. I thought maybe it was a bit on the nose, but the Zombies song that kicked in right away, I read that as Don and Sally coming to terms. He's finally revealing all his lies to her and in letting her in he's shocked by her love and support. Plus the bonding over deceit, which was great...
The warmth of your loveis like the warmth of the sunand this will be our yeartook a long time to come
don't let go of my hand now darkness has goneand this will be our year took a long time to come
and I won't forget the way you held me up when I was downand I won't forget the way you said, "Darling I love you"You gave me faith to go on

― dan selzer, Monday, 21 April 2014 15:32 (ten years ago) link
yeah I think he has that childish thing of 'if I tell the truth I'm going to get in trouble' and even as an adult he is still surprised by the fact that Sally could forgive him and/or love him anyway

I didn't buy Sally's identity confusion. Not that she wouldn't say it, but that the show hasn't written scenes between those two that would prepare us for the pseudo-profundity of the observation or that she's capable of it.

Seemed like a classic teenage thing, which might actually get articulated, given a disarming situation or three or more: like seeing him bang the big hair neighbor lady, and the family field trip to that House across the road, and the funeral ("in Queens by the racetrack...it was horrible: her mother was yellow and wearing a wig"); going to his office, and another man was there; "You don't know what it was like for me to come back here, what if I had to get on the elevator with her; he hairspray would make me want to vomit"); then in the diner, a conversation she'd prob never thought she'd have with him. Including "Why don't you tell her you don't want to move to California?," see,just like that, and his expression...
― dow, Monday, 21 April 2014 23:11 (ten years ago) link
why doesn't Don want to move to California?

Maybe he hasn't decided, but he looks surprised, as if she's seen this as the crux, as he might also---if he moves out there, it won't be like checking in (and trying not to do yet another remake of A Star Is Born) with young wifey, or recharging/confiding in long-gone Anna, or always having Manhattan to go homebase to. And stories will follow him; long as he's still in the ad biz,or something related, can't be like when he scammed dead drunk Roger into hiring him, as the genius from nowhere, the truly self-made man. And he'll be that far from from his kids, incl. the one he's suddenly, for the moment at least, kind of close to, who just told him she---loved him---damn!

it seems like the bigger question is yeah he doesn't really fit into Megan's world/life and doesn't want to admit it. and business-wise what would he do, just start another agency himself? that seems crazy. maybe he could start a cult.

xpost Shakey Mo: That's what I always thought he might do---Anna's niece gets busted in Berkeley, pressured by feds to snitch, since she's a *radical*. She informs on Draper/Whitman's desertion/identity theft, having heard his story from her aunt, thinking he'll prob just get fined--but somebody wants to please J. Edgar and maybe the White House by making an example of that Mad Ave turncoat who scorned the great American campaign contributors who run tobacco companies--so off to Leavenworth a couple years maybe, then he resurfaces in the Human Potential Movement, like EST etc--don't say cult! A consultant, a discreet mentor, in a Palm Springs suit. But then I discovered that Elizabeth Moss is a child of Scientology--might not matter though/
― dow, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 00:02 (ten years ago) link
Hope Matt Weiner doesn't see this, or not in time to change such an arc (I'm sure if this is the ending, he's twisted it in ways I've never thunk of)(but also, now I think Draper/Whitman wants to stay way in the background, and not have to deal directly with clients, followers, whatever)

do you guys know if i can pay for a download of this or any other show that I can put on a flash drive and watch on my TV? b/c I bought the first ep on iTunes and they seem to have done something where I can't transfer it to a flash drive or anything else—I can't even delete it! I'd rather not pay for a 1080 HD download and then watch it on my goddam laptop.

lou is so terrible. when it was obvious that he was totally in the wrong w/r/t him blaming dawn, he kept flat-out saying how he's not responsible or to blame for anything - but peggy acted the exact same way with shirley, just being angry and taking it out on someone who works for her.. for no reason, really. i felt like next week's promo was hinting at peggy being on thin ice at the agency
