I have to say this is a controversial episode. Many viewers cite it as their favorite, and just as many say they skip this one when they re-watch.
 
I'm not a fan of skipping episodes when I do re-watch because I always find something new in each Mad Men episode. I do find that there are some episodes I look forward to and others not so much.
How do you feel about this one?

[01:07] Steve: Yeah, I think that's the one point I get out of this one is again, we see the professional competence of Peggy. She's prepared all this useful stuff. And frat boys, Paul and Pete are basically just focused on this junket out to golden California, which at the beginning of the 1960s really was giving off a golden sheen.

Jenna: Welcome to Season Two, Episode Eight: A Night to Remember. This episode was written by Matthew Weiner and Robin Veith.
 
Steve: The episode opens with Betty doing some hard riding at the stable. Looks like she's got some energy or frustration to burn off. She's exhausting herself and the horse as she does her rounds.
 
Jenna: The last time we saw her, she and Don were coming back from their evening out at Jimmy Barrett's party, so they have some unresolved things.
We always see Betty so put together so here, seeing her ride as hard as she can, panting, she leans against the horse, sweaty - it's vulnerable and a little broken.
