Trudy taking the wrong side of the protest conversation was very much in character, but still funny.

Pete Campbell is the stealth liberal we all always thought he was.

Don's "so hire one" at the end seemed like it shoulda been Pete's line

When the job applicants all showed up in the lobby I actually shouted at the TV, "Well what did you THINK would happen?"

what was that amazing music playing when Kiernan Shipka woke up and went to Don and Megan's room
― the sir edmund hillary of sitting through pauly shore films (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:18 (twelve years ago) link
ya that was cool

i'm with veg grrl; the soap opera-ishness of this ep kinda killed it for mei want to see MORE PITCHING OF ADS
― Lil T the Bowed Jet (forksclovetofu), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:36 (twelve years ago) link
rewatch s1 in that case I guess
― Nicholas Pokémon (silby), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:38 (twelve years ago) link
more dancing beans
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:38 (twelve years ago) link
I for one just love watching miserable people destroy themselves slowly at this point, it makes me feel like I have company.
― Nicholas Pokémon (silby), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:39 (twelve years ago) link
xp YES! I was really looking forward to the bean ballet.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 26 March 2012 16:40 (twelve years ago) link
lol, the dancing bean ad idea sucked.I WAS IN KOREA
― Lil T the Bowed Jet (forksclovetofu), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
It's been my biggest struggle with this show from the get-go...as much time is spent on the characters talking to each other as the camera slowly panning over furnishings. In my more cynical moments I'm just like "man this show is just furniture porn for modernists".
and then Pete/Harry/Sally/Joan do something great and I'm happy.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
harry was a bit of a treat this ep, i'll give them that
― Lil T the Bowed Jet (forksclovetofu), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
not enough bad things happen to Harry imho
― the sir edmund hillary of sitting through pauly shore films (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
Harry's gonna get AIDS.
Joan and Lane have the most respectful professional relationship on the show, they are an inspiration to us all in terms of their basic decency. OTOH Lane is a sad panda who really wants to be Don apparently but can't pull it off.
― Nicholas Pokémon (silby), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:44 (twelve years ago) link
Lane's little subplot this ep was the most curious insofar as I really didn't know where it was going or what the overall implication was going to be... was a bit worried that he was going to hit on Joan during their little exchange.
― the sir edmund hillary of sitting through pauly shore films (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:45 (twelve years ago) link
Stan was also enjoyable in this episode, especially when he let Harry dig his own grave in the office kitchen as Megan stood behind him.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 26 March 2012 16:45 (twelve years ago) link
yeah genuine lolz at that

was a bit worried that he was going to hit on Joan during their little exchange.
Okay, so I wasn't the only one. Of course he didn't, though, because he's Lane Pryce and he wouldn't do such a thing.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 26 March 2012 16:47 (twelve years ago) link
the soap opera-ishness of this ep kinda killed it for me
I generally think of Mad Men as a very high-end soap opera.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:49 (twelve years ago) link
that's pretty obviously what it is. It doesn't get any more soap-opera-y than having one of the main story arcs be "married woman with absent husband has somebody else's baby"
― the sir edmund hillary of sitting through pauly shore films (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:53 (twelve years ago) link
I thought in soap operas the baby would somehow be the evil twin of a different character entirely. Or a vampire or something.
― Nicholas Pokémon (silby), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:54 (twelve years ago) link
Also, the lead character is not who everyone believes he is.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 26 March 2012 16:55 (twelve years ago) link
Mr Pryce's conversation with the girl in the photo made me want to crawl out of my skin, just for awkwardness.
Him and Joan are wonderful, and yeah I had a few alarm bells early on but he just SO loves her professionally I was like, oh of course he would never. Sigh of relief.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:56 (twelve years ago) link
Pretty sure that was a deliberate mislead.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:57 (twelve years ago) link
Pretty careless of him keeping the photo in his own wallet, though. It could've fallen out when he was giving Mrs. Pryce money for the day.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 26 March 2012 16:58 (twelve years ago) link
I thought he was going to take the money or something, at first I couldn't really figure where it was going. but he's Lane Pryce, so I was very confused for a while.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 26 March 2012 16:59 (twelve years ago) link
^^^yeah I was wondering if he was so broke he needed to steal $100. although initial takeaway was simply "Lane does not trust black people"

THIS
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 26 March 2012 17:03 (twelve years ago) link
It was all very strange
Pretty careless of him keeping the photo in his own wallet, though.
Didn't he slide the photo under his desk calendar?
― Cuba Pudding, Jr. (jaymc), Monday, 26 March 2012 17:04 (twelve years ago) link
he's supposed to be going broke right
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Monday, 26 March 2012 17:04 (twelve years ago) link
xxxxp
I only just remembered his somewhat nauseating relationship with his 'chocolate bunny'.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Monday, 26 March 2012 17:05 (twelve years ago) link
xpost jaymc: then he put it in his wallet later
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 26 March 2012 17:05 (twelve years ago) link
it was sorta weird how my interpretation went from "Lane doesn't trust black people" >> "Lane needs money" >>> "Lane is fishing for a date from a whore" >>> "is Lane gonna blackmail this dude or something?" lol

I thought his "Oh I write for underground newspapers -- you probably haven't heard of them" was such a douchebag moment.
