The "Stop being demure....you're already on the bed." line by Roger Sterling was unfiltered swag.

Hopefully they at least put a new twist on him bedding slores left and right. We had 3.5 seasons of that already.

Peter should change his name to Petey cuz he's a fukking son. Why is this nikka always getting punched. Never was a nikka chin so glass. fukking Petey nose bleeds after one punch. I'm disappointed in Petey.

Didn't need to see Roger's bare ass, could a nikka get a warning or something? Didn't need to see the dogs humping, could a nikka get a warning or something?

Was reading on another board that the visions of Adam and Lane's death led Don to get Megan the job.

Those two asked for his help and he refused and they killed themselves. Megan probably wasn't gonna kill herself, but Don didn't want to knock someone at their lowest down again.

Ahh....:myman:

Makes sense. I was just thinking, the guilt of your brother killing himself doesn't go away even if you and the nikka was estranged. Not even really that fukking close. I always wondered about that shyt, and Mad Men delivered at that aspect, cuz it's something I expect someone like Don to care about from time to time.

Pete to Don: "I've got the same view as you now"

Pete finally gets his apartment in the city while his adoring housewife stays in the suburbs taking care of the kid (Betty in season 1-3)


The company is starting to become very profitable after a long rough patch..The only thing keeping him from pulling his complete Single White Female act on Draper is his propensity to continously catch fades...

:sadbron:



I'm I the only one that has done a 180 and is starting to root for Pete going forward?

And Don is done with Megan.

He's always been attracted to and respected women with ambition, women that didn't need his help. The artist, the Jewish chick that ran that department store, the teacher, the agent, Faye.

He became interested in Megan when she said she was interested in the ad agency and she was actually good. Don was :krs: after she came up with a tag and wanted to impregnante her for how she handled the dinner with Heinz.

Even when she wanted to leave and do the acting thing, it was something she wanted to do, something she wanted to work at.

All that respect left when she begged Don for the commercial. She wasn't doing it for the art or the money, she just wanted to be put on without working for it. She went from someone complaining about not wanting to see success because of who her husband was, to begging for favors.

Don left her at the studio where she was preparing for an ad, which is how he met Betty, the woman he stepped out on seeking the strong women that didn't need his help. Even though he helped her to make her happy, he's helped facilitate her turning into the woman he wanted to escape from.


Cliff notes: He fukked them two chicks from the bar.

^^^^^^^

Good point...
I remember when he had to get Betty that job as a model for Coca-Cola back in a previous season...

Meagan is really turning into Betty Draper 2.0 and Don is gonna be turned off by her eventually...
