he is by far my favorite Bobby. In that he gets to have an actual opinion, even if it's poorly thought out.

Booby is a more appropriate name for him too.

If she ends up pregnant from that surprise visit f**k….that would make her visible pregnant by summer. And then the Sharon Tate theorists would go absolutely insane. But that might be a little too on-the-nose for Weiner.

It was interesting too the way the shots were framed in those scenes, which I believe the reviewers mentioned, not only with him sitting and everyone standing, but how, when he entered the conference room to face the partners, he was in the corner of the shot, at a diagonal, to show how vulnerable and weakly…

I think it's true to how women trying to move up in the business world were seen by people at that time (and to a certain extent, are still seen today). Men who act like a-holes in the business world come across as savvy and "confident". Women are seen as aggressive bitches. They can't win. (and it doesn't help their…

god, that part reminded me of my own mom. this one time, our whole fam had gone to the beach, and driven to a restaurant about 20 minutes away after. i was 6 or 7, and when we got to the restaurant realized i had left my shoes in the bathhouse back at the beach, so we couldnt go in. of course, being a Bobby myself, i…

"all my dad's valuables are in the top drawer of his nightstand…hey Sally. think this home intruder will let us stay up and watch tv?!"

Weiner has always been keenly aware of matching character portrayals with the timeline of societal values, and challenges to those values. Roger and Don used to be war heroes; now, military men are war criminals. 70s feminism is just around the corner, its not cool to slap your secretary on the ass anymore. the…

exactly. Roger doesn't miss him. he misses having an equalizing vote against Ted and Cutler, since Joan is totally over his shit.

yes, the love and the giving away of sandwiches was me, downthread.

eh, no. Lane and Don weren't friends. did you see what transpired before Lane's suicide? Don forced him to resign. that guy's going to torment him, if anything.

and Lou is not as 'creative' as Don, so he isn't as skilled at the art of subtle manipulation the way Don is. I predict that Don will pull a "Roger in the stairwell" kind of move that makes Lou look foolish in front of clients, and forces the partners to choose between them.

But remember how pissed she was when Don got rid of the Jaguar account so easily, not taking into account what she had to do to get it. It was all for naught. She was PISSED at him for that. I think she's enjoying that she gets to have some power over HIS future now, and make him grovel.

But how perfect would that be if Don had to come back and answer to PEGGY? His former secretary! Just like he now has to answer to Joan, of all people. It would be incredibly bizarre but the sadist in me would love it.

Maybe it's even an executive at AMC who has objected to Mad Men's production costs. Ha!

Sort of like having that hooker slap him during sex!

Bobby Draper's foot gets run over a tractor, and somehow Betty blames Don. And it all comes full circle.

True. Sally Draper is too much of a nihilist. Bobby's like, 'just happy to be here! Hey, I guess this means we're negroes now! Cool!'

That was such a strategic move on Roger's part though. The only thing he misses is Don's siding with him against Ted and Harry Hamlin.

haha, me too!!! Oh Bobby, you are too gentle for this cruel world…
