For some reason, I think Lou would be perfectly fine with being described as "adequate".

i guess the offer from jag guy was a bit of a lowball but they sure did seem like they really wanted him. deal seemed an obv 'we are going to fuck you', much of it seemed very justified but the ability to absorb his share if he fucks up again - good lord, call their bluff. just cash the checks you're gonna die soon. write a book or something. anyhow it was fun seeing ppl reacting to don just showing up - ken really misses him, joan clearly past the point of no return w/ him (which is sad considering how great the scenes they had together in the past were), peg so angry and bitter she can't even recognize and opportunity to change things ('you haven't been missed' - bs), cutler's clearly got joan and bert on his side even w/ the open acknowledgement that they're a mediocre ad agency now. cutler downplaying creative in favor of crane seemed like a sign of things to come. don in lane's office, yikes.

even if its only as an unrelated powerplay, hooray for Harry getting some fraction of acknowledgement for carrying the firm for the last few years

Harry's awful! loved Rogers instant dismissal of him.

yeah huge lol at rog immediately assuming cutler wanted crane fired when he brought him up
― balls, Monday, 28 April 2014 16:00 (ten years ago) link
i didnt really like how a lot of this was the art of pretend forgetfulness abt 'how did we leave things w/ don?' like cutler just seemed really overly incompetent to not know dons a partner and not in breach of his contract who has to be bought out and a drunk sterling having to explain everything

also I loved Betty's field trip -- smoking on the bus, the teacher with no bra, the sandwich fiasco, betty in her shades surrounded by plumes of smoke on the picnic blanket with Bobby
classic Betty. she's so terrible

Funny how in every scene after that one, she's super bitter. Maybe it was just the milk.

I love the despondent way Bobby says 'I wish it was yesterday' when Henry asked what happened

the last shot was genuinely tense, felt like Don could've said "fuck you" and it would have been just as believable as his tight-lipped "ok"

I was surprised. Can't tell if he just wants to disappear under Lou and call it a life, or spend the next few months scheming and working his way back up to a real (non-neutered) partner...
― schwantz, Monday, 28 April 2014 22:09 (ten years ago) link
Loved that scene where Don goes to the office, intercut with the flashback of him sitting alone in his room, getting the courage to leave. The music, the camera-movements.
― Frederik B, Monday, 28 April 2014 22:09 (ten years ago) link
yeah that was awesome, find myself sympathizing w/ new don way more than i should

Didn't his wristwatch say 9? I initially thought he was late, but now I think it could have been him at home day or night before or after the meeting.
― BlackIronPrison, Monday, 28 April 2014 22:25 (ten years ago) link
felt bad for New Don and the almost spiritual sense of self-abnegation to order tomato juice from an attractive stewardess

Totally. Perfect -- and unexpected -- choice.
And yep, his wristwatch said 9.

Definitely the best of the season yet, I had no idea how the Don squatting in the office situation would resolve itself.

and Don there in his brown suit with his hat really underlined that whole 'man out of time' thing that someone noticed a couple of weeks back, don in his hat striding through the airport... he looks like a relic now, where before he always looked like the most together dude in the room

Loved the "Model Shop" clip and "That Girl" clip last week.
― *tera, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 06:47 (ten years ago) link
In "That Girl" I don't think Anne Marie ever becomes an actress? The whole show about her pursuing this dream and getting into ridiculous situations... Was this supposed to point at Megan and how her trying to be an actress is just plain silly to Don? Maybe making too much of it. This weeks Model Shop about a doomed relationship...
― *tera, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 06:53 (ten years ago) link
I really got the sense that the partners (except Roger) were consciously putting together a package of conditions they were sure Don would reject therefore triggering his resignation.
The bit when Don knocked on the hotel door only to find Roger on the other side was lol.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 11:46 (ten years ago) link
The Roger/Don relationship has always been one of my favourites on the show.
Who was the blonde girl in the restaurant? I'm sure she's been in it before.
