it's one of those shows where you're better off starting at the beginning. you'd still understand a little bit what's going on if you don't but there's a lot of references to what happened earlier you won't get. you won't understand relationships, etc.

That's what I was afraid of, I was hoping I could just lazily jump straight in.. I hate starting so far behind tho, almost feels like "work" to try and catch up to the newest ep.
Guess I'll give season 1 a try, I'm hoping it will be as good as people say it is..

Don back to hoein and boozin 
Maybe I missed the posts about it but that shyt Megan pulled (in regards to asking for the role when her friend wanted it) was foul.
And Don is done with Megan.
He's always been attracted to and respected women with ambition, women that didn't need his help. The artist, the Jewish chick that ran that department store, the teacher, the agent, Faye.
He became interested in Megan when she said she was interested in the ad agency and she was actually good. Don was
Even when she wanted to leave and do the acting thing, it was something she wanted to do, something she wanted to work at.
All that respect left when she begged Don for the commercial. She wasn't doing it for the art or the money, she just wanted to be put on without working for it. She went from someone complaining about not wanting to see success because of who her husband was, to begging for favors.
Don left her at the studio where she was preparing for an ad, which is how he met Betty, the woman he stepped out on seeking the strong women that didn't need his help. Even though he helped her to make her happy, he's helped facilitate her turning into the woman he wanted to escape from.
Cliff notes: He fukked them two chicks from the bar.
Good points, but how does this explain why he chose Megan over Faye?

He chose Megan because she was good with the kids.
while Sally hugged Megan who had bent down to pick her up.

He got tired of Faye too, I think she started being on his nuts too much toward the end too.

Pete. 
Beth
That dude Howard is foul for erasing his wife's head when ever it pleases him. This dude is Pete is clinically depressed. So, we can assume that when Beth gets really depressed she has an affair and her husband proceeds to wipe her brain? The thing I've noticed is that Meagan's mother has a grip on reality than anyone I've seen on the show.
