right. of course, if Roger had known Harry had committed a fireable offense PRIOR to the meeting, Roger just would have threatened him with that outright and not paid him anything.

roger's a bully and harry's a pushover, pete getting that office was never in doubt

well, Pete wanted Roger's office. Roger just looked around for the easiest target/least valuable company asset.
― Disco Bob & MC Criminal (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 6 April 2012 22:14 (twelve years ago) link
yeah it's a sign of how much that power dynamic has shifted that roger felt the need to proactively find a solution to the problem.
― balls, Friday, 6 April 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
and maybe a sign of pete's relative maturity that he settles (for now at least) for harry's office even though he still feels slighted. both of these guys can be such babies.
― balls, Friday, 6 April 2012 22:18 (twelve years ago) link
xxp that's kinda true, but then who else has an office? don... does cooper even have one these days or does he just float around? harry isn't really among minnows in that company.
dunno why i'm defending him though, what a chump.

Cooper doesn't have an office. I think he just lounges around the conference room and the reception area. otoh he doesn't actually do anything.
― Disco Bob & MC Criminal (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 6 April 2012 22:29 (twelve years ago) link
so yeah I think Pete, Harry, Lane, Don, Roger (and maybe Ken?) are the ones with offices. Joan has an office in the middle of the layout iirc.
― Disco Bob & MC Criminal (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 6 April 2012 22:30 (twelve years ago) link
ah, forgot about Lane.
― Boo-Yaa Too Rough International Boo-Yaa Empire (Merdeyeux), Friday, 6 April 2012 22:41 (twelve years ago) link
anyway, has Don always hated Harry? His open contempt in this last episode was p lol, but not something I remember happening before this season.

i don't think so but don's never been a teddybear

iirc harry had nothing to do last season, except for the hilarious moment when they stole a quilt from his office to cover miss blankenship's rolling corpse.

I'm actually enjoying Henry's mother in this one.
Scene in an Italian restaurant (bottle of red), was amazing.

Holy shit, "Mystery Date" was a real game! I thought Simpsons writers made it up.

This was a hilarious episode until about halfway through when it got dark as fuck.
― LaMonte, Monday, 9 April 2012 03:30 (twelve years ago) link
Don's fever dream was unnecessary imo. The tension of will he/won't he has been neutered by being answered (he will, apparently).
Agree that Henry's mother was a guilty pleasure this week.
Also, WTG Joan!

Ken Cosgrove's "you almost got fired right then" was awesome.

Thought it was just too gratuitous. Maybe it will become something poignant later.

(and pretty much every season)
I loved this episode. I thought the fever dream worked okay since it was telegraphed pretty hard. I don't think it was much as a "will he/won't he" thing as a weird way of looking at how Don feels baout things in his new marriage and whatnot.
Sally Draper is the best. Peggy shouldn't get so drunk, but maybe she doesn't have much more tact when she's sober tbh. She's definitely a better negotiator than Harry Crane though.
Epic lols at Roger sneaking through the office behind Pete as Pink Panther-like music played.
― raw feel vegan (silby), Monday, 9 April 2012 06:03 (twelve years ago) link
If Peggy had just grabbed her purse from the coffee table in one fluid motion without stopping to think "OMG RACIST BEHAVIOR" it would've been no big thing. I'd take my wallet into my own room no matter who was staying over. It was nice of Dawn to leave a thank you note, though.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 April 2012 06:07 (twelve years ago) link
peggy-roger scene was probably the funniest thing in the history of the show. or maybe i'm just mad tired, i dunno. sally and henry's mother also a great duo.
― Boo-Yaa Too Rough International Boo-Yaa Empire (Merdeyeux), Monday, 9 April 2012 06:16 (twelve years ago) link
my take on don somewhat confirmed by this episode
and yeah, peggy and roger bartering was one my favorite moments in the show's history. moss really on top of her character there.
nice character bit: michael's moral revulsion when others found the murders exciting didn't prevent him from exploiting that excitement in his "dark" cinderella pitch. also intrigued by the creepy parallels between that pitch and the story of the speck murders as told to sally by betty's mother in law. both narratives revolved for a moment around the possibility of a stranger's handsomeness, though to very different ends. tied together in the middle by don's dream.
― preternatural concepts concerning variances in sound and texture (contenderizer), Monday, 9 April 2012 08:23 (twelve years ago) link
god i had forgotten about those murders in chicago, christ. my mom says that was really, really upsetting to her.
felt like this was one of the better episodes of this show.

d'you guys take the 1st half of the woman in yellow's visit as real or dreamed? i like to think it was dreamed and in don's subconscious it's important to him that she'd point out that he was a good interior decorator
― johnny crunch, Monday, 9 April 2012 11:11 (twelve years ago) link
100% dream when she shows up at the apartment imo.

Yes, I doubt the elevator lady felt compelled to track down and then try to have sex with the sweaty coughing mess she saw in the elevator.
― Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Monday, 9 April 2012 13:08 (twelve years ago) link
also if she hadn't seen him for six years she had fuck-all chance of finding where he lives now
I'd take my wallet into my own room no matter who was staying over.
otm, esp as she's used to living with a flatmate. this was v unfair to Peggy imo

thought the purse thing was unsubtle and lame, right up to I LEFT YOU A NOTE ON YOUR PURSE YOU SECRET RACIST

I'm glad now that Greg didn't get killed in Vietnam because seeing him get told off and thrown out of the house was way more satisfying.

― wrapped sausage stylus (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 April 2012 14:50 (twelve years ago) link
IMO, the purse thing wasnt to show Peggy's secret racism but more to show that race/racism as a social reality.
― ryan, Monday, 9 April 2012 14:51 (twelve years ago) link
I thought it was to show peggy as trying too hard, because lonely.
― s.clover, Monday, 9 April 2012 14:52 (twelve years ago) link
but I mean it was a great mad men moment because awkward and not too outrageously contrived and v. much of the time with a whole bunch of context and meaning and interpretation captured basically by deft editing and not much else.
