Millions: Do you see California returning to the show in future seasons?
NVC: I hope so! Every time Don heads to the bungalow in Long Beach I go over the moon. Southern California should play a role in future episodes because more than any other city/region in the country, Southern California embodied all of the ideals that came to define the late 1960’s and beyond: youthful, informal, image-driven, ahistorical; a golden land of consumers.
Here’s an interview I did with the delightful bookish site: The Millions.
Also, this:
TM: Give me three predictions for the show (not counting your call that baby Gene is done for, as I suspect you might be right about that).
NVC: Don and Betty will hatefuck at some point this season.
I, too, have been on the hatefuck bandwagon for a few episodes now, and Betty’s wandering eye from Sunday just about sealed their fate, I think. It will happen—or Betty will try to make it happen, at least—near the end of this season, and I will either cheer very loud or curse very loud. One or the other.
