What I'm Watching: Mad Men

Mad Men: Season 2, Episode 2 "Flight 1" (B+)

This show really knows how to utilize history to its advantage. A sad note is that the actor who portrayed Pete's father did in fact pass away recently, but this seems like a fitting tribute to his performance on the show. Pete's relationship with Don is especially fascinating, and watching Don let down Mohawk is extremely compelling. That Duck Phillips is sure to make many more problems for Don in the coming weeks, but I suspect he won't be around for long. It's also interesting to see more of the characters' home lives in this episode, specifically Paul and his "open-minded" girlfriend.
