Mad Men returns. Thumbs up or down?

That blind date scene, it was almost like Woody Allen used to work in advertising.

I thought they hit that out of the park, from Don's monologue to giving Ginsberg more definition in just a few brushstrokes to the look on Peggy's face when Abe mentions children. It would've been easy to bungle an episode about the MLK assassination, but it was great.
