The writing staff included a young Albert Brooks.

When Don went up to the computer guy and said he has many faces and stuff, was that just drunk Don thinking he was the devil, or him seriously thinking the FBI was still on his case or something?

I took it as a devil reference

i couldnt make any sense of that scene.

maybe you should have had a bottle of gin beforehand

why didn't he just pour it into the coke is what i wanna know .

Because that would mean less liquor in the can.

he knows what he's doing i guess.

ha reading molly lambert's column now and all the 2001 stuff totally passed me by.

Funny how Marigold's parents are both totally cool until you call them out on their absentee parenting BS and then they immediately storm off, even post-LSD Roger.

I do think it was clever sleight-of-hand to have it be Roger's daughter that runs off and joins a hippie commune when for years we all (myself included) would have been placing our bets on Sally. they did a similar thing with Roger taking LSD (which I also would have guessed Don or Peggy would do first)

Was hoping Roger would've shared acid anecdotes with the hippies - "hey I did it before it was illegal!"

Was just realizing that Lane died back in '66, so his office has been vacant (and that pennant was under that fixture) for awhile now.

I thought there was someone in there before Don but I can't remember who. they just had so many partners in the office at that one point

yeah ppl have been assuming sally becomes a hippie since she first started hating betty (so for quite a while) that it was inevitable someone would have to; happy they've sidestepped it by having her friend be the runaway to california and rog's daughter be the hippie. i know you ppl hated the hippie scenes but i liked rog's 'there's always a hierarchy' and cletis dropping the mask a little when he mentioned they're trying to make him get rid of the truck. loved the 2001 stuff (though i admit i didn't really catch this -

- until it was pointed out). kinda hoping don does = 69 mets as stupidly corny as that would be. does that mean lou = 69 cubs and peg = 69 o's? would explain why she's acting like earl weaver.

2001 stuff totally went by me

I thought the hippie stuff was v funny - they were dealing in well-worn archetypes and they knew it and handled it well imo

well the name of the episode was 'the monolith' and there's a threatening computer so my guard was up

I tend to hippies on sight so seeing walking cliches gladdened me. All we needed was CSN's first album playing.

*tend to hate

Marigold was really pretty as a hippie

I usually don't go all crushy on girls from tv, but yeah. That's the only time she's been on with her hair down, looking sort of present-day ish and I was into it.

Man, an extra $100 a week was a HUGE raise in 1969.

$644 in 2014 dollars.

how much weed would that buy in 1969?

all of it

I can see why people say the show doesn't do counterculture well, but hippies were super corny back then and said dumb corny shit

"A dead man whose office you now inhabit" killed me

As did Don's face during the meeting with Peggy

Peggy's dress at the end, the best

I love Bert's precise diction.

Roxy otm hippies were super corny. They are still super corny.

That's true! impossible to find footage of hippies not being stupid

Bezoekers is Dutch for hippies? Gonna start calling them that from now on.

Perhaps it's the week I've had/the week I will have, but this making me laugh like an idiot right now

lol

these people are lost, and on drugs, and have venereal diseases

oh yeah and bob benson's name dropped

just catching up on the last two weeks tonite. early impression is that don's worst failure of imagination is not conceiving of himself taking another job.

oh man, that sweet relief of not having a single bookmark at the top of sna after 8 days of it sitting there

I do love how Don is not giving a shit about the conditions and just doing whatever he wants.

Also, did they make it through the baseball game? Did they even make it to the stadium?

Also the big "Don saves the day" moment at the end was him telling Peggy he would have the tags done later. LOL

p sure game was not attended

Oh wow...was looking at some Mets stuff on youtube, and you can watch the final game of the '69 series...ALL OF IT (well, no ads)

As a person who's only visited NYC once and has barely a grip on logistics re: commutes, what would a trip from Madison Ave to Shea be like time and hassle-wise?

walk to grand central and take the 7? not much of a hassle, takes about a half hour.

Even Don at his drunkest should've been able to handle that.

every wikipedia page about burger chef has a sad (but different) photo of a former burger chef that is now like a payday loan business or something depressing like that

burger chef murders case should be the next season of true detective

haha
