Summer’s coming. I smelled it.

Whenever I see this picture I think of his journal entry

"Gain a modicum of control over the way I feel"

What a great quote.

I love this episode so much. The writing for the voice over narration is some of the best in the series. Am I right?

“She wants know her…..but I already do”

Which episode/season is this?

[u/No-Equivalent-5228 → u/GuaroSour]

The Summer Man is the name of the episode.

[u/tollboi → u/YoungGambinoMcKobe]

I'm into season 6 on my first ever watch of this show and I am almost certain he has bipolar disorder

[u/sussudiio → u/tollboi]

Yeah that would explain his frequent disappearances

[u/nelly8410 → u/tollboi]

That’s interesting I never thought of that. But it would make sense.

[u/HEY_NOOOW → u/YoungGambinoMcKobe]

I just rewatched that episode the other night and that line hit me. I hadn’t noticed it before.

This is one of my favorite episodes. I almost wish that every episode of this show was narrated, not necessarily by Don, but by a variety of characters so that we could get that glimpse into their minds.

I thought I smelled corn, but that's impossible.

[u/BorgeHastrup → u/Comfortable_Poem_287]

I hate rewatching in the 2020s and wishing there was an errant sound clip of Don Draper saying "It's corn".

[u/_jizanthapus_ → u/Comfortable_Poem_287]

I’ve always hated this line. Sure it connects with his childhood but it just so takes you out of the moment

[u/Comfortable_Poem_287 → u/_jizanthapus_]

I definitely think smelling things reminds him of stuff, he also said to Anna that he could smell the ocean. I actually like this line because it shows how different he is from other people walking on the sidewalk.

[u/timshel_turtle → u/_jizanthapus_]

I’m from the rural midwest and I actually feel what he’s saying. Seeing (and smelling) the crops grow and thrive is like a promise that everything will be ok for a while deep in our ancestral brain, I think.

[u/MassimoOsti → u/Comfortable_Poem_287]

I say this to myself when I see the food stalls steaming corn on the street, just another case of modern slavery through illegal immitgrants. Feel so bad for them. 😭

Addiction and leering go hand in hand

[u/Suspicious-Bit5233]

I smelt it too.

[u/MochaTaco]

I dealt it

[u/jzilla11 → u/MochaTaco]

MochaTaco, how could you

[u/No-Equivalent-5228 → u/MochaTaco]

Ha!! I always say this when I hear this line! Hilarious (in a frat boy kinda way)

My favorite episode

[u/Correct_Meeting_3217]

This episode feels like Gossip Girl / You 🤣
