I suggested that a few pages ago, w/r/t TrueD2 and was told that there's already a thread. You probably missed it b/c it's easy to do in a 600-page TV thread where SNL sketches intermingle with Mad Men spoilers and talk of pilot episodes on Netflix and the virtues of David Spade.

Anna Draper's niece (who was sitting next to her) played Black Canary on Arrow for a while. A fun show at first that turned crappy, but she was good in it.
My take is that, the next day, he wakes up in this beautiful place, and has this serene moment of understanding, and realizes who he is. And who he is, is an advertising man. And so, this thing comes to him. There’s a way to see it in a completely cynical way, and say, “Wow, that’s awful.” But I think that for Don, it represents some kind of understanding and comfort in this incredibly unquiet, uncomfortable life that he has led.
...and now a world without Letterman, which I'm barely old enough to remember. I used to sneak out of bed late at night to watch him do dumb stuff. It felt dangerous, like I wasn't supposed to watch. I kept the volume low, sat inches from the set, ready to hit the power if my mom came out. I loved every second of Letterman.

I used to do the same thing. And now he's gone and I'm getting old.
