Ken's getting shot was played in such a silly way I never thought for a moment he was actually dead. In fact, I forgot about him until they finally came back to him.

When has Ted ever screwed over Peggy?

Next season is the last season. I hope this season Don bottoms out, and next season he finds some sort of peace or redemption. I can't help but pull for the guy.

His motive was pure spite and jealousy. I don't think it was the least bit justified, despite how "annoying" they may have been.

He said the line like a schoompy teenager and Pete recoiled afterwards then brought up the "off limits" stuff.

There was no scam. You can't just hand-wave "I don't know what Bob thought he would gain", because of course there was nothing Bob could possibly gain, ergo he didn't do it to gain anything. It was a completely sincere declaration of love. He stopped smiling when he said it, too (already unmasking "The Real Bob"), and

Even in this episode he was telling Pete that the day he met him was the best day of his life. He clearly loves him, for whatever reason. Everything bad that happened to Bob last night was because he hit on Pete. It was not done to get him ahead in the business. It nearly destroyed his career, and still might.

Hitting on Pete did nothing to advance his career, and in fact, nearly ended it. And even last night in the middle of their huge confrontation, Bob was still declaring the day he met Pete was the best day of his life.

People keep saying Bob's "come on" to Pete was part of some dastardly scheme, (and some absurdly claim Bob's not even gay) though they never manage to say what could possibly be the benefit to outing yourself in the workplace in 68. Especially to your uptight, straight boss.In fact, this whole confrontation and near

Oh, okay. I guess it makes sense that movies were in the theatres a lot longer then. Of course, the idea that Gleason staggered into the movie theatre while in the last stages of terminal cancer is pretty silly, but maybe that client isn't too bright.

I don't think Weiner plays well with others, nor does "winks".

He's trying to get Sally to come, by assuring her that she won't have to see him much. It was actually kind of sweet.

A nasty little bitch for saving a man's life?

Bob lied on his resume and is actually a poor hick from the sticks. That's hardly "Bob is in the FBI" or "Bob is Don's son" or "Bob will destroy the business" or "Bob isn't really gay, this is part of a plan to take down Pete" or whatever else people were blathering. Admittedly, I don't know exactly what you said and

How? He tried to kiss her, she stood up, he called her frigid. He was an ass, not a rapist.

The only thing I disagree with is that Pete could've at least fronted a little better. Bob thought he was beaten. He asked for a day to run away. Pete could've said "I own you now" instead of "I surrender".

The client didn't know they were over budget until Don told him, and he did that deliberately. Ted's plan was to show the finished product and the client would not be able to begrudge the extra money. Maybe that wouldn't have worked, but it was his call to make, not Don's.

Telling Ted "do you want to tell him, or shall I?" and then letting the moment hang there ten beats too long while Peggy and Ted squirmed in their seats was not necessary to close the deal. It was quite simply, petty bullshit. And let's not forget, the only reason they were even having that meeting was the Don sent

I'd be shocked if Pete can't see what an advantage he has here, though he weirdly played it as if he were totally broken.

What was incorrect about Todd's interpretation of "Merchant of Venice"?
