Now that they've used both "Just a Gigolo" and Tobacco Road", I'm half-hoping that "Yankee Rose" pops up over the credits soon.

I needed a DLR fix after this episode. Just a Gigolo video > this episode.

I'm starting to wish more shows would take longer hiatuses between seasons - I think that was the key to season five's success.

is that pete's actual hairline
― cozen, Monday, 15 April 2013 21:38 (eleven years ago) link
ah
He asked you to change your hair?Yeah, I shaved my hairline back this season.
I was wondering about that. It looked different.Yeah! Especially that last episode, they were really prominently displaying my bald spot.
I didn’t want to ask if your hairline was receding.No, it’s not. Most of my friends were like, Dude, don’t do that, it might never come back in! But luckily I have a good head of hair.

i never her

Don's done alot of things, but "he never her" ain't one of them. He always her.

Poor episode imo - the flashback brothel scenes / giving the doctor's wife cash to get by was terrible, as someone said above.
Loved Peggy - can we just see more of her and her boss and Stan? The Pete / Trudy story was ok, if depressing and kinda unrealistic - why would these women throw themselves at him?
I'm disappointed so far.
― kraudive, Monday, 15 April 2013 22:03 (eleven years ago) link
everyone in that room (except trudy who just disgusted and grinning until it was over) was horny and desperate to fuck someone who wasn't their spouse
― balls, Monday, 15 April 2013 22:05 (eleven years ago) link
It seems the writers are struggling to come up with anything more interesting to say about Don. Unrelated, kind of, but some more light relief would be welcome. Less who's fucking who.

figure that the best eps will come midseason when Peggy, Joan, and Sally get some spotlight time.

for me Pete is the gaping hole in the show. no one would ever like him ergo he would never get ahead in advertising. it's not believable it's just badly conceived and bad writing, imo.

if anything i'm more skeptical of cosgrove's success, guy is way too centered and decent to succeed on his own wits (luckily he's got the dow account thru marriage). this bob benson guy looks to have what it takes though.
― balls, Monday, 15 April 2013 22:48 (eleven years ago) link
yeah feel like that scene of Don giving her money after sex would have worked better without the brothel flashbacks
I thought the brothel scenes were there mostly to shed light on Don's weird conflicted horror about what they'd done to Joan.
― Matt DC, Monday, 15 April 2013 22:49 (eleven years ago) link
yeah that was my thinking

Still trying to get a handle on who Bob is. In the first episode it looked like he worked for some other company in the building but now he's in on the client meeting?
Stan is totally going to get fired by the end of the season.
― Matt DC, Monday, 15 April 2013 22:50 (eleven years ago) link
He's in finance or accounting or something. Desperately wants to find a way into creative.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 15 April 2013 22:51 (eleven years ago) link
Bob is a jr-level accounts striver.

if we're to trust the "next week..." clip, there's some serious Stan action in the next episode.
Would be awesome if Bob works for Ted Chaough

Just about to say, Bob seems like a spy.

It's like he's read How to Succeed in Business by trying much much too hard. Maybe he'll take the fall for the ketchup thing in the end.

xpost interesting speculation about bob. something is going to happen with him later in the season... something bad. this show telegraphs things like that too directly.

kinda sad if that's the last or next to last time we see alison brie, good for trudy though obv. don's 'here's what's going to happen, i'm going to fuck you and you're going to like it' pitch also not as smooth as it once was (and it wasn't that smooth then). not much w/ ginsberg yet either.

Not really trying certainly worked for Burt.
