Jim Cutler, Peeping Tom.

Also known as 'The Hershey Bars of Wrath'.

Pete put it pretty bluntly to Duck over the phone "You know you can't work here!". So yeah, I think Duck was there to do introductions for the other guy as an interim replacement for Don.

The confession was not a one-shot, silver bullet that would cure all of Don's issues/inner turmoil, but a watershed moment when he stops living a lie and embarks on a journey towards inner peace and redemption.  The visit to the old whorehouse with his kids could be seen as an act of facing up and not another act of…

I can understand that, she has probably been raised with the same sense of entitlement her father had, never wanting for anything or having to work for it. Her father's philandering, and remarrying a woman her own age probably gave her cause for resentment, sure.  It did not look good for Margaret to suck up to Roger,…

This is awesome!

Now you know what happened at the end of this season, you can enjoy finding out how and why it happened.

Don would have a shot at inner peace and happiness if he and Megan moved to California, but Matt Weiner probably wants to keep him in NYC to prolong his torture because who wants to watch a show about a happy person with no conflicts?

Bob will be running by the firm by about 1973 once Sterling, Cooper, and Cutler either die off or retire, Chaough will be busy building up the West Coast branch, and everyone else of importance professionally self-immolates, but he'll still be buddies with Joan.

Bert Cooper never looked so ominous in that boardroom scene seated and flanked by Roger Sterling and Jim Cutler, you know the blow is coming but yes, it is unwatchable.  Most of Don's advertising work to date is rooted in 1950s WASP Americana fantasy images (for example the Carousel) and they have worked, but at this…

Yes, just like she told Roger in the first season "I know as much about men as you do about advertising".

Does that make Ginsberg resident lunatic Ziggy Sobotka?

He speaks fluent Spanish though.

That was pretty much the verdict the partners of Sterling, Cooper and Partners reach by the end of this season.

Pete's mother's death reminded me of Miss Blankenships death in season 4, comical and absurd, except the action took place off-screen. Miss Blankenship's death lead to Don and Megan getting together and eventually marrying, while Mrs Campbell's death has, as Trudy pointed out, given Pete the freedom to do whatever he…

trolls be trollin', haters gonna hate, etc etc.

What Campbell money?  Mr. Campbell snr squandered it all before his dive into Jamaica Bay back in '62.

Roger's daughter has been a petulant brat since the first season, and not much has changed, talk about two-faced.
