You saw one middle episode of a largely serialized show with no context as to the characters or overarching plot lines and you expected to be satisfied?

That's like flipping to a random chapter in the middle of the Harry Potter series and saying "I don't get what they're doing with the latin and these wands, and what's with the owl? Who's Ron? We never met him in this random chapter, whole book series is just unsatisfying."

It’s also a really off-kilter episode, of the kind in which Mad Men would occasionally indulge with varying degrees of success.

I enjoyed all the Kubrick references, but didn’t find it paid off the strangeness well.

To clarify, the only character I cared about was the IBM/360.
