so i was reading the Manson wikipedia entry to avoid writing and discovered this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Manson
"Kasabian thwarted this murder by deliberately knocking on the wrong apartment door and waking a stranger. As the group abandoned the murder plan and left, Susan Atkins defecated in the stairwell."
also, i had forgotten the '27 Yankees were known as "murderers row."
they're really piling it on!

Man, I was so eager for tonight's episode hoping that shit would hit the fan *hard* and of course it didn't. Felt bad for Joan since her duplicity was initially framed as a triumph and then p immediately went to shit; it feels really unpleasant to see her fuck up.

the last 4 episodes have been an incredible run IMO. has Matt Weiner written/co-written every epsiode this season? seems so.

based on nothing but commentaries & interviews, i gather most show runners rewrite a fair amount of each episode, but wiener takes credit more often than most

GQ: Do you other guys put your names on scripts you've done extensive rewrites on? Vince Gilligan: Not typically.
David Milch: Not typically.
Matthew Weiner: They're classier than me.

so hard to figure out. Was getting the sense last night that despite his apparent good nature, that maybe he's no secret villain or hero, just an ass-kissing mediocre account man who will rise to the top due to harmless scheming and the peter principle. Seeing him talk down Ginsberg to cutter, then butter up Ginsberg, while listening to that success record (what was that?) all the while blowing it with manischevitz and meanwhile getting promoted to Chevy doesn't look good.

So just how aloof from the actual business of the firm can Don get before he gets called on it? His name is off the company now, and obviously Ted's tuned in to his detachment.

felt like this was the most "lol THE SIXTIES" episode yet but still a lot of fun. closing scene w/Pete was A+

I thought Pete was gonna lose it after leaving Don's office. Maybe head to the ledge. Then I thought he was going to take it out on stan and fire him or start punching him. Sitting down w/ a joint while the mini-skirt and go-go boots walks by and Janis Joplin starts playing...even Pete's gonna get groovy now?

agree that final scene felt a little off. rest of the episode was pretty good though.
all the while blowing it with manischevitz and meanwhile getting promoted to Chevy
that was pretty funny, that he got rewarded for messing up Roger's account. and then Roger's blow-off of the bad news, "ah well, that's been in the works for months" haha.

loved the meeting with the Carnation guys, where Roger and Don had no idea where the client was coming from

that was painful. the CEO was coming from an entirely different place, politically speaking, than they had trained themselves to anticipate.

I think so...?
T&L apparently floating the didea that Ginsberg is schizophrenic. seems unfounded imho, he seems more to embody the angst-ridden NY Jew stereotype

wait.. was the soldier he had a visitation from the same soldier from the 1st episode?? Slate says so. hadn't realised if so.

yeah same guy. the guy whose lighter Don ended up with. which they kinda referred to, Don getting his cigarette lit was what made him see that guy in his dream.
― dmr, Monday, 3 June 2013 19:18 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, I missed some of the dialog there but I got the impression he was having a full on mental breakdown there. didn't he say something about them beaming thoughts into his head? they also made a point of emphasizing that he doesn't do drugs which I thought was meant to hint that he's actually losing his mind.

i hope ginsberg doesn't lose it. i like the idea of him as a witty, eccentric guy who might have some demons but is talented and, unlike the other characters on this show, seems to genuinely have a conscience. most relatable character for me.
