Thnx... the 18 month wait for this season was so long I completely forgot if something would come after this.
In that case, there is no way Don will be offed this season already, but he is definitely free falling in a downward spiral way - just like the title sequence. I think it's the first time too that he is properly losing his grip, finesse, cool w/ everything around him. It will need a shock to bring him back into coherence for the last season.

Wake up Don suicide truthers. Don is going to ascend to the presidency against the man who made a cuckold of him, revealing the ultimate Back to the Future alternate history ever attempted.

didn't some comedian say arnie or sly looked like a bag of walnuts, or a bag of walnuts inside a pair of tights?
some combo of my suggestions here is the truth.

Stan was such a lame character when he first appeared but he gets better and better as this thing progresses. Maybe the beard is the source of all his power.

I enjoyed this, it's great to have a wacky episode every now and then, just as long as there are plenty of boring ones in-between.

They missed Kristen Schaal, who was in the pilot as a switchboard operator, and Rosemarie DeWitt as Midge.

Betty's clothes are dowdy and hideous for 1968; it looks weaved out of Fleischmann's.

only two parts i liked of this ep:bob's pregnant pause where it's not clear if he's gonna let slip that joan and the silverhaired fox have a thingemt shrugging when peggy says "he'll be fine, right?"
it's always disappointing when they follow up a good episode with a silly one. EVERYBODY BE FUCKIN

yeah. so i guess henry thinks it's hot for betty to sleep with other dudes? was that clearly inferred?
― Treeship, Monday, 27 May 2013 06:34 (eleven years ago) link
or he thought it was hot that she was desirable by other dudes but refused them

ted cheough (sp?) just kind of turned the page like a ... boss. no pun intended. they still haven't really given this guy any bad traits.
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Monday, 27 May 2013 06:40 (eleven years ago) link
xp hm, it's one of those two things. i thought his presence at breakfast the next day... the fact that he came that morning, and so betty's indiscretion was reckless... hinted that it might be like a game she is playing with henry. we'll see.
― Treeship, Monday, 27 May 2013 06:40 (eleven years ago) link
did she figure that after abe left that he'd be waiting for her? he made it kind of clear that this wouldn't happen.
xpost
yeah i think peggy did expect that. she ignored what he was saying and assumed that abe was the only thing standing in their way. a kind of parallel to don's disappointment with his mistress in the last episode.
― Treeship, Monday, 27 May 2013 06:43 (eleven years ago) link
I'm still not entirely sure why Peggy got so knocked off base with the merger. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the organizational flowchart at the new firm, but why is she letting Don get under her skin? It's contaminating all the other parts of her life too, though I think Abe's days were clearly numbered regardless.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Monday, 27 May 2013 07:02 (eleven years ago) link
because the merger interfered with her sense of autonomy. the decision to change firms was a big deal for her, and the merger undermined this, and she is struggling to stay independent, which was a skill she had to learn because she was an unambitious follower when she first came to Sterling Cooper
― Treeship, Monday, 27 May 2013 07:04 (eleven years ago) link
but yeah -- sorry if what i said was too obvious -- peggy needs to deal with this stuff in a less reactive, more clear-headed manner if she is going to succeed in the new environment.
― Treeship, Monday, 27 May 2013 07:06 (eleven years ago) link
Oh yeah, I get the contributing factors to her unease. I just expect more from her after six years, I guess.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Monday, 27 May 2013 07:07 (eleven years ago) link
It was my suspicion a long time ago that the show's focus would slowly shift from Don to Peggy over its run, but with only one season left I'm not sure that's going to happen. Weiner should've consulted me.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Monday, 27 May 2013 07:09 (eleven years ago) link
i would like that, actually. don has gotten tiresome, although on the other hand i do think it is brave of the show to allow him to become so profoundly unlikable.
