New York and Detroit?

Director of ALL New Business!!! He's President of the Howdy Doody Circus Army!!! Wouldn't you want a little toke?

I think it was an equal portion of both. And it would have gotten much worse, perhaps to the point of a split party, if Nixon hadn't of been so, well, Nixon.

I agree. I thought Peggy was saying that a lot of work and learning and observation lead to her rise in advertising, not just sleeping with Don and being naturally good at her work. Then she realized that Joan actually had slept her way into a partnership and felt bad. Her intended message to Joan was that people…

Roger's got his competitive streak back since Lucky Strike left. At the old firm, he was the keystone. No Roger = no Lucky Strike = No Sterling Cooper. After Lucky Strike left, although he moped around for awhile, he realized that he was back in competition with Campbell and the other accounts guys, and since then…

"You have to work your way up." and "I never slept with Don." are great quotes from Peggy to Joan. She's letting Joan know that while she earned the money the partnership brings, she hasn't done the grunt work that would give her a solid foundation as an accounts man (woman). As Roger repeatedly insists, this is stuff…

He searches for an episode that cannot be filmed…

Some very brief things…

Bones:  "Do you enjoy television, Mr Pepsi?"

Come on, no four-year-old can conceptualize "stuffed astronaut".

@itmustbebobby:disqus …I forgot about the slave ship line, so… I'm sorry. I still don't think Peggy was referring to a whole race of people, just whomever stabbed her boyfriend (and even in that case, not in a racially charged way)

… don't moralize history. It isn't attractive.

I think the two things are completely different. The Sopranos dude said what he said out of latent racism, Peggy was referring to persons who stabbed her boyfriend. She didn't know what race they were. They could have been black, Puerto Rican or, as Abe points out, white. In fact, Abe never clearly states, even to…

I don't think  she was referring to all black persons, or to race at all, but rather to the people in her neighborhood who stabbed her boyfriend.

I'm beginning to agree with this kind of appraisal of the present Don. He's operating in his own gigantic shadow, cast when he was a different kind of man.

Abe:  *to others in wagon train* Circle the wagons? No! We'll work with these proud Native Americans and form a utopia of cooperation and understanding. We mustn't shoot at them, we must lay down our arms and embrace them as brothers. We must join the Indians, appreciate their culture and their ways of…*arrow hits Abe…

Of the myriad ways Roger could have fucked up his grandson's big day with "Pop Pop", seeing Planet of the Apes seems pretty tame. Margret's overreaching for a reason not to see her father. And you're gonna get rid of the dog? He's afraid of fur? He's four, he'll see a fire truck and forget the movie entirely in three…

@avclub-858b67085072a6f2403cf500871f4068:disqus "He's playing at the Don Draper of old" that sounds about right. I'm going to re-watch that scene, because everybody thinks I'm wrong, and I probably am.
