Just seen the first ep of Mad Men season 4 and I feel like Mutley floating back down to earth after eating a doggie treat. That was so good!

I just caught up on several episodes last night. It sometimes seems like nothing happens on that show... except everyone being themselves, but always fascinating to watch. Danny Strong was on last ep. :)

I find all the characters so incredibly complex. They're hateful and yet you can't help feeling sorry for/admiring them.

That said, I really disliked Betty in this episode. Poor little Sally!

Pete, on the other hand, was being quite bouncy and cute. I almost forgot that he raped someone in the previous series.

I guess I'm not really feeling the hate for Betty. She never pretended to be anything other than what she is. I was about Sally's age in 1963. My parents were the Jewish version of Don and Betty, my upbringing was similar, and my Dad's office was like the show.

Sally will have some "issues".

Oh, I don't hate her. In season 1 I felt terribly sorry for her. Don treated her appallingly - and my sympathies remained with her all through the divorce, except in the way she treated Sally.

I'm sure that in future episodes there'll be plenty to get me back on her side.
