Hot Topic - The Significance of the Hobo and Gypsy Costumes

AMCtv.com awards the Talk forum and blog commenters quoted in our weekly "Hot Topics" post with prizes like a Mad Men mug or a Mad Men 2010 calendar (limit one per person).

Among the topics of discussion this week was a clever debate regarding the possible metaphors represented by the hobo and gypsy Halloween costumes.

• "The hobo... is most certainly Don, as he has been labeled so... from the first time we see him learning lessons about the hobo code from an actual hobo." -- Thirteen

• "Like a gypsy takes their talent to different cities, Don wants to be able to move when he wants." -- Greg

• "I thought the title was speaking of the state of mind of many of the characters. We saw elements of the principals fearing loss (hobo) and wanting to see the future (gypsy)." -- Sizzie
