Season Two Premiere Episode

The show picks up two years after the end of Season One and things seem to be going the same, but with a little different. New technology enters the picture as well as the stalling marriage of Don and Betty.

Don Draper is still the man on top of the ad agency but there are still men trying to take him out. Plus, the whole baby storyline from last season between Peggy and Pete has yet to be discussed.

The first episode of season two is a slow-burner, answering hardly any of the burning questions from Season One. However, I am sure the writers know how to hook the viewer in before the knockout punch.

Great episode to start the second season.

Slow Start

One of the more slower episodes, and not very entertaining, and it's amazing how Jackie Kennedy was never made fun of from that phony voice... if she were a rich finishing-school Republican's wife, the imitations would never end, but...

The episode ends with Don Draper doing something that he'd do later for an entire episode, and while Jon Hamm has so much power in this role (one great moment when he tells two punks to take their hat off in front of a woman), he's not good at narration, that is, voice-over... it drones in a monotone...

Also some of the new younger ad-men are as unrealistic as Ken Cosgrove seems too young for a job where the entire company would be full of grown men who resemble Freddy...

Anyhow this was a dull startup episode, and thus begins Betty's flirtation with a rich kid in a polo club, one of the worst detours of the series...

The best scene involves Roger because, he's so Roger... and Duck because, Roger's cooler.

Trivia
Season one ended on Thanksgiving, 1960. Season two begins on Valentine's Day, 1962. Fifteen months have passed in between.

Goofs
When Don is in the doctor's office at the beginning he had his blood pressure checked. The cuff used had Velcro and in the early 1960s they didn't have that yet.

Quotes
Don Draper: [reading from 'Meditations in an Emergency' by Frank O'Hara] "Now I am quietly waiting for the catastrophe of my personality to seem beautiful again, and interesting and modern. The country is gray and brown and white and trees. Snows and skies of laughter are always diminishing. Less funny, not just darker. Not just gray. It may be the coldest day of the year. What does he think of that? I mean, what do I? And if I do, perhaps I am myself again."
