One big curiosity is what year we'll be in when the season starts. Season five ended in March 1967, and while Business Insider is guessing that this photo is supposed to be from Nixon's inaugural ball in 1973 (the Drapers were definitely Nixon people back in the 1960s), we're guessing they'll still be in the late '60s in season 6.Betty looks like she lost the weight she was carrying during last season, which means at least a little bit of time has passed. Sally is rocking a late-'60s Jackie O look, and Megan is now sporting longer hair and a mini-bouffant (another late '60s style).Don, surrounded by all of the women in his life, just looks... annoyed. And probably about to say "What?"
