On Footnotes of Mad Men: A Rage For Order, or, The Problematic Episode

I would love to hear more about what people think of the "Rome" thread and how it's related to the natural order at SC and in 1960s USA shifting so dramatically? Does anyone else get the feeling that the MM world is sort of falling apart? I love how MM does this to us. Season One ends with the election of a young, handsome, charismatic leader (and Don's survives Campbell's efforts). Season Two ends with the missile crisis (and Don bests Duck in the conference room showdown). Season Three ends with losing JFK...(are we going to lose our charismatic young leader as well in some way?)

On Footnotes of Mad Men: A Rage For Order, or, The Problematic Episode

There has always been so much focus on "I remember exactly where I was..." when it comes to events like this and MM has done similar things in the past where it has given a glimpse of how several characters are experiencing a particular moment. Might be interesting to get a brief glimpse of each character - particularly something that we know they will remember forever simply by association. We don't have to see any JFK thing for it to be powerful.
