Lou was buying Peggy. Duping her to be in alliance with him and making her believe that she was seen as someone Senior and special. He wanted her "to knock 'em dead" … which he really meant he was hoping that the humiliation would cause Don to implode.

Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what that was all about. I have a feeling it was trying for a literary connection because his previous dialogue with Lloyd seemed like it was from Shakespeare. Probably Dante's inferno, but since I didn't read it … although that was a book that was being read as standard practice in high…

Lol! Facetious! Funny!

Wow, three episodes. That will probably leave us with Lou gone and only Cutter to deal with.

… yeah, maybe you're looking too hard. Lol! Don definitely has the tools! He's the hero protagonist. In fact, he's got the tools not only to redeem himself but to regain control of the company and do away with all the antagonists; i.e. Lou, Cutter, and maybe even Joan at the rate she's going.

It was supremely tense! But I didn't like Peggy in that instance. I liked her when she didn't run right down to Lou's office to complain about Don though, as Joan suggested. It shows maturity on her part to not jump at the chance to do him (or anyone for that matter) in.

Yes, it may have had a double meaning, but I took the Monolith as being the IBM computer. Yet you can compare that to the Monolith of 2001 A Space Odyssey.

Nice!

No, Don has to overcome Lou and Cutler or it won't be much of an ending.

I don't fault the characters for being "selfishly preoccupied with their own concerns" as to why they aren't understanding each other. Don and Peggy are being played against each other and don't yet understand what's even going on with everyone. Peggy just seems dazed and confused about what is going on at the…

When Lloyd and Don stood out in the hallway talking about the Godliness of computers, it reminded me of "What a piece of work is man" from Hamlet. The way they were talking was practically in iambic pentameter. Fast, deep, and difficult to catch, just like Shakespeare. Nice touch!

These past four episodes have been the best, and most tightly constructed ever I think. I don't think there is necessarily a connection between Margaret's behaviour and Don's. I think that story meant to show us what happens when people disregard their responsibilites to their families (specifically). I believe its…
