So Ken's eye is permanently fukked?
yo he's been wearing that eye-patch forever now, i've been wondering the same thing. i thought he would've healed up by now but i guess he's cyclops status from now on.
so it was icy at first, given the circumstances and history....but now that peggy and don have "clicked" again, don's gotta eventually use that to push himself forward, right? i mean, this totally solidifies that he's still got mentor status over peggy, even if peggy's technically his superior. and regardless of their respective positions, it'll probably always be that way. so not only did he pull a power move on the partners that wanted him out the most but now, with a few drinks, some honesty and a dance, he has his direct boss back on his side. maybe it wasn't all calculated like that with peggy but i'd assume don would realize that gets him out of the doghouse with her, which is big. he probably won't be just a guy writing taglines anymore, he's gonna be much more involved in the creative process. i guess he's gotta get to lou next?
by the way, lou is a great character...acted well, such good writing. right from his first scenes, you had to hate that guy...and he hasn't given you a reason not to ever since.
