    Jane and Roger using LSD to bond? Hahaha "It'll be good for us" was the weirdest selling point ever. Though I do think it's hilarious that Roger saw Don on his acid trip. Such a weird scene altogether.

    This is definitely one of my all-time favorite episodes of Mad Men now. This episode was beyond awesome, if you ask me. :)

    It's clear to me now that this is a type of dream Don is having that most likely stems back to the night of Peggy's Birthday, when Don had gone a sever drinking binge due to the loss of Anna.

    There has been much sci-fi and fantasy metaphors, plot lines, indendos and now this episode with space and time "displacement", The Tibetan Book of Dead (The Art of Dying), LSD with Leary's words of wisdom on the significance of dreams, and additional nods back to psychological analysis, there is no doubt that we're experiencing Don's psyche and his working of things out...

    The episode also "loops back" to a certain point within the episode.

    Meghan may represent all the brunette's Don ever was with, but more importantly since the role was so clearly revered, she must also represent his mother and the abandonment issues he has, and the idea that he keeps making her into someone perfect, that she isn't...

    But Peggy too is something that's on his mind. The women he should be with that he always avoids. The one that understands him. Her experience with dating a Jewish man, like Don dated a Jewish women in season 1, reflects dating something who lies all the time about whom they are and where they come from, but despite it, attempts to see through "the image", simply because you love them.

    The LSD sequence creeped me out a bit. It was too on the nose. All the auditory manipulation, the strange way time passes...Weiner nailed the LSD experience. Took me back to my youth. :P
