Finally Starting to Begin...

Not rated highly but actually one of the better episodes so far of this season, granted that there aren't too many, but Season 6 makes all the worst MAD MEN seasons polls, and mostly it's because of Don's boring affair with the married living-upstairs-with-a-doctor Sylvia...

They have dinner at a restaurant this episode and then have... more sex because, their story is they have sex... that's it... she's probably the worst Don-affair ever on the show, and compared to years earlier, the actress (Freaks and Geeks) doesn't look all that beautiful...

What works here is the radio subplot of Jaguar and Don's cheating Mini-Me Pete's trouble that Don will be getting into soon enough with Megan...

The best sequences of MAD MEN, no matter what episode, are the deals, the pitches, all that stuff is so great but with the soap operatic detours, they're left on the backburner, or not burning at all, which is a shame because, what they guys do for a living should be paramount...

But not all guys, as Peggy's story, working now for the weaselly competitor, is thickening the plot-line about possibly turning on her old friends.

Trivia
When Pete is watching the news, the newscaster references a situation in North Korea with the "Pueblo." This refers to the USS Pueblo AGER-2, which was boarded and captured in North Korea in January 1968, and held for 11 months.

Goofs
In the bedroom, Sylvia drops her cigarette into a glass of water. A moment later, it is back in her hand.

Quotes
Trudy Campbell: There's no way for me to escape, to not be an object of pity while you get to do whatever you feel like. I have never said "no" to you.
Pete Campbell: That is not true! What are we doing out here?
Trudy Campbell: We're done, Peter. This is over.
Pete Campbell: You want a divorce?
Trudy Campbell: I refuse to be a failure. I don't care what you want anymore. This is how it's going to work: You will be here only when I tell you to be here. I'm drawing a fifty mile radius around this house, and if you so much as open your fly to urinate, I will destroy you. Do you understand?
