- TriviaIn the "Inside Episode 506" video produced by AMC, showrunner Matthew Weiner says that Peggy's actions during this episode (pitching a campaign to a client; insulting the client's taste in a confrontational way; going to a movie in the middle of the workday; having an anonymous sexual encounter) represent her idea of what a typical day in Don Draper's life must be like. Weiner says: "Peggy has this moment where she tries to be Don and fails, and then goes and has Peggy's version of Don's day: sexually irresponsible and drunk and working."
- GoofsWhen Roger and Jane drop acid at Jane's psychiatrist's apartment, Roger uncaps a bottle of Stolichnaya vodka. Stolichnaya, distilled in then Soviet Russia, was unavailable in the west until a 1972 deal with Pepsi to distribute the vodka in the U.S. and the soda in Russia.
- Quotes
Peggy Olson: Why didn't you tell me you had a family? Your father is nice.
Michael Ginsberg: He's not my real father. People don't understand.
Peggy Olson: Are you adopted?
Michael Ginsberg: Actually, I'm from Mars. It's fine if you don't believe me, but that's where I'm from. I'm a full-blooded Martian. Don't worry, there's no plot to take over Earth. I'm just displaced.
Peggy Olson: [laughing] Okay.
Michael Ginsberg: I can tell you don't believe me. That's okay. We're a big secret. They even tried to hide it from me. That man, my "father," told me a story: I was born in a concentration camp, but you know that's impossible. And I never met my mother because she supposedly died there. That's convenient. Next thing I know, Morris there finds me in a Swedish orphanage. I was five; I remember it.
Peggy Olson: That's incredible.
Michael Ginsberg: And then I got this one communication. A simple order. "Stay where you are."
Peggy Olson: Are there others like you?
Michael Ginsberg: I don't know. I haven't been able to find any.

Example, when you listen to The Beatles, who were acid-heads and whose latter music was specifically made for being on acid... Their music doesn't pour from an open wine bottle... It's music that you hear things on acid that you don't hear NOT on acid... Like the song Birthday, right after the "going to a private party" section, during the "I would like you to dance", it sounds and feels like your traveling through space on a rollercoaster ride... But those sounds on the album ARE THERE ALREADY and then you hear them, see them, experience them WHILE ON the drug...
Acid brings out what is ALREADY THERE to bring out...
You DO NOT see yourself playing in the World Series like Roger did... You just don't do that on Acid... Maybe after you fall asleep on acid the next morning while still under its spell...In fact, the only drug that would make you go through what Roger went through is speed, and that's after being awake a couple of days, when your uncapped dreams start catching up and acting out in front of you (at which point you smoke some pot and it gets REALLY weird)...
Other than that, it's an okay episode. Don and his own trophy wife aren't tripping but they visit a Howard Johnsons thats interior looks like a bad trip, and they fight and have anger sex, as usual, but...
This one's somewhat of a filler.
