Episode 83 - In Care of Dave and Steve

Wow, we've done six seasons!

So much to unpack here.

This could have been a series finale.

Don does almost everything right, built it's still wrong.

Ted is a creep.

Stan is a pawn.

Peggy is I dunno....

Sally is annoying.

Both Sides Now is the perfect pop song.

Episode 82 - Dave's Quality Shows Steve No Mercy

OK, so this was one of those 'I have no idea how to come up with a title' ones.

Ted and Peggy don't seem to be hiding their feelings any more.

Don is passive aggressive here, but he's right actually.

Don as a baby, lots.  Symbolic rebirth incoming?

Nice cultural references in this one, Rosemary's Baby is terrifying.

Porpoise Song!

Could Betty's car be any bigger?

Sally is off to Miss Porter's

Episode 81 - Dave Does Steve a Favour

Yup, I'm using Canadian spelling of 'favour' even though the episode is entitled 'Favours'.  You got a problem with that?  Fine, complain to the management.

This one is full of uncomfortable scenes.

Don and Arnie in the bar is a good scene.  I like these guys.

Mitchell is a dumb kid, though you have to admire his idealism.

Don't do this Don.

Sally is off for a big trip!  According to Betty it's just an excuse to make out.

Ted asks Don to end the war.

Sylvia probably shouldn't have 'thanked' Don.

Episode 80 - It Was the Best of Steves, It Was the Worst of Daves

See now THAT'S a clever title!  We start with Steve giving us a little lesson on the titular book.  

I love a California episode.

I hate seeing people think a kid will help their relationship (even in a hash inspired dream sequence).

Damn the music is good in this one.

Avon, groovy.

Ted is a decent guy who is not only obsessed with Peggy, he's got a thing for process and forms.

'It's a dry heave'.

Roger is hilarious and horrible.

Danny!

Ginzo is coming unglued.

No this isn't about Mad Men, but you know what?  We don't care, what did you pay for this anyway? We have a new project and we thoug...
