Don is mildly hustled by a young man who gets an extra 10 dollars for finding him some alcohol, and later Don reluctantly attends a veterans' fundraiser to repair one of their homes. Don becomes ...

It’s dawned on me rather slowly that the most important episode of the Mad Men so far may well have been The Hobo Code from season one(I know some of you have picked this up in the comments over the past few weeks).

After being dropped off at the hospital (and being signed in as “Mrs Robinson” by the cheeky students) we quickl...
I think it was important that both Pete and Don’s closing routes involved the same place, namely Wichita. Look again at the Nels Anderson quote: Don’s spiritual journey to California, or wherever he’s going to end up, is one taken without possessions, without much cash, with just a Sears bag and his past.

When Gene Hofstadt (Betty’s father) died in series three’s The Arrangements, the episode ended with Over There, the popular US soldiers’ song by George M Cohan. As his daughter faced up to her own death, it was heard again as Don sang it at the veterans’ party. The music when Don was pulled over in his dream was Merle Haggard’s Okie From Muskogee, ...
The Milk and Honey Route ran about 10 minutes longer than a usual episode. I presume next week’s finale will do the same. Line of the episode: Andy: “The chlorine’s killed the piss in the pool if you want to go for a swim.” Exchange of the episode: Henry: (Pointing to cancer diagnosis) “What do you think Nelson Rockefeller would say if he got this?...
