I've only watched through season 1 and 2 once, so what are the smaller details that I've probably missed?
Someone was saying the other day that in the s1 ep where roger and don have to climb the stairs as the lift wasnt broke, that don actually paid the elevator guy to say that it was (revenge on roger for flirting with betty). apparently you see don handing the guy money just before he tells them the elevator is broken. i completely missed this.

>>4423604 Don also purposely fed him Oysters and martinis to make him worse for the wear.
Episode 103 is in a two part structure, and the second part mirrors the first EXACTLY, which makes the second part seem REALLY claustrophobic and nightmarish.
There are hints toward Peggy's CONDITION throughout all of season one.
The birds in Shoot represent Betty's freedom, which is why she does to them what she does.
The episode where Don makes Roger throw up is called "Red in the face" which has several meanings: as in just having been slapped, being drunk, embarassed, and sick.
The episode where Freddy Pisses his pants has tons of references to Marilyn Monroe. Look at the background throughout the entire episode; you see tons of buxom blondes crying with Jackie O's. Couches are a big theme in that epiosode, 5 people are found lying on couches throughout it. This relates to freudian psychology, but also because MM was found dead on that couch.
Freddy is identified with Monroe throughout that episode. His code name at the speakasy is "mike moneybags", MM, and at the club, he ironically goes "here's to Monday Morning", which represents his firing from SC.
thanks for this. i really need to go back and rewatch the first 2 seasons sometime

Episode 5, 5G, is a reference to the 5 grand Don pays his brother, and the apartment he meets him in.
The Hobo Code ends with the name on Don Draper's office door, which is the mark of a liar: a hobo code for "a dishonest man lives here". Don hates the beatnik hipsters because he says they "pretend to be vagrants," but in his flashback you see Don is a literal hobo, a vagrant.
Don's dad looks like Don in that episode, but the hobo sounds and talks like Don. Don is the hobo, but he's also like his father as the hobo marks him; a dishonest man.
The code also refers to the coded references to homosexuality sal drops toward the make up salesman.
When Don leaves the apartment, and the hipsters tell him he can't go out there because he just smoked pot, he says "no, you can't go out there" which is another example of this societal code, or shorthand, we use to classify people.

I rather liked it as well, despite being forced to watch it in school. I am a huge fan of things that show how hard decisions faced by people in the world are and the drama it can stir up. I'm not a fan of the "black and white" mentality alot of movies and television take on things, particularly when it comes to legal battles and whatnot.
