      <![CDATA[@Jacob @Andy: I was hung up on that for a moment too, but Archie Whitman surely frequented the local brothel, and likely brought his son along for the ride on many an occasion. Sure, regular visits may not quite constitute growing up in such a place, but add in our protagonist's lingering shame over his origins and it's understandable that Don would perceive himself as being (uncomfortably) at home, and even identify himself as such in the presence of the madame whom he'll likely never see again.

      <![CDATA[Don seems to be on his way to some kind of nebulously-defined enlightenment. He's unburdened himself of a loveless marriage, taken up swimming, and is now actually exercising discipline where there was once only hedonism. I keep waiting for him to fuck it all up, but I think that would be cheap at this point. A story about a man who actually pulls himself out of careless decadence while surrounded by a changing world might actually be more interesting than just a cavalcade of failure.

      <![CDATA[The "he speaks British" quip is almost certainly a cute jab at Robert Morse, who couldn't maintain an English accent on set for his role in The Loved One and had to be dubbed in.<br>
<br>
Parts of this episode almost matched the splendor of Don carelessly foot-scooting Madchen Amick's corpse under his bed. I love the direction this season is heading, personally.

      <![CDATA[@bikefor1. I was a little confounded by Don's claim that he grew up in a whorehouse, but it seemed like just the sort of vague, superior thing he would say.<br>
<br>
What was Roger's line? "Even in here you're doing better than us."<br>
<br>
I still think something bad is coming for Don. I'm rooting for him to change, but there would hardly be a show if he didn't fuck up somehow.

Also, I loved Lane & Pete's respective boxing styles: Lane's gentlemanly Cambridge style stance vs. Pete's weak-ass attempt at Cassius Clay. KEEP YER LEFT UP, PETE, YOU IDIOT!!
