I thought Pryce's office was downstairs near Dawn's (formerly Peggy's) old office?
I think this new work situation is going to make for some very interesting new allies.
No, I don't think Peggy's issues had anything to do with her former secretary's race. She threw a petulant fit because she was humiliated over the flower incident. I think Peggy (or Dawn) is punishing her by putting the idiot receptionist on her desk.
Ok, I was really confused on that point. It's actually a large part of why I came to the recap to see if the writers or commenters could shed some light: did they or did they not say that if he broke the rules he would forfeit his stake in the company? I can't imagine they could just do that. I imagine they could make…
I think it is a mixture of genuinely earned resentment and being angry with herself for knowing that she would rather work for him than Lou.
But didn't Bert agree with Roger that he wasn't aware that the leave of absence was definitely a firing?
You forget that Megan had a job in New York, that she quit when Don told her they were moving to LA. And then he pulls the rug out from under that plan to accommodate Ted. Don asked her to abandon NY and move to LA first. I actually admired her for saying, essentially, "I am sticking to the plan, and I am not letting…
No, it seems like just the P part of SC&P put him on leave hoping he would quit. Joan is still angry at Don over the Jaguar deal, but I think Sterling and Cooper both know that Don is an important part of the company (that he built) and that the company is better off with him a part of it than not. I honestly can't…
Yes, this drove me nuts. I expected, at the very least, for Joan to not need to be informed by Sterling of the reality of the situation. If the "leave of absence" was essentially a firing, why didn't they buy him out instead of continuing to pay him a salary for a year? Makes zero sense. The conversation that took…
I didn't quite understand why everyone except Sterling and Cooper thought that they had effectively fired Don, when it was clear that Don thought it was a leave of absence? And how could they not have considered that they would have to buy him out of his partnership, even if he did take another job? I was surprised…
I thought the same thing: Don is the guy that Sterling found at the bottom of a box of fur. But we know what he did with that opportunity, so even though I was outraged that the partners were fucking him over so hard (even though he probably deserved at least some of that punishment), I realized that he would make the…
But she didn't say her name was Stephanie and it didn't look or sound like that actress. I am pretty sure Don would have recognized her.
It was Don who decided, without consulting the partners, to abandon the relationship with Jaguar. A relationship Joan bought with sex, which also brought her a partnership, but still.
I got married 2 years ago. We got married at the local JOP in front of very close family and a few friends, and I wore an $80 dress and he wore the shirt and slacks he keeps around for weddings and funerals. We went on a small honeymoon the next day, and then the weekend after that, we held a small reception for a…
I'd always heard that it had less to do with the fact that he didn't want to look like his father and more to do with the relentless teasing he received from his father and brothers about his acne and the size of his nose. He certainly had body dysmorphia as a response to his upbringing, but I don't know how much of…
Yeah, it is called Porcelana (sp?). My late Nana used it on her hands and forearms to lighten age spots.
There is a two week break between episodes 7 and 8 because of Memorial Day weekend, and I think something big will happen at the end of episode 7. It won't be the Purple Wedding, that has to be next week. And it isn't the penultimate episode, either, which is when the really big shit hits the fan. I think we will…
That's how I eat it! One heaping scoop = a one-way ticket to Nom-ville.
Yep, paid 1500 WITH insurance after five hours in the ER with food poisoning. One blood test, one IV of morphine and two bags of IV fluids, and five hours in a bed during which time I spoke to a doctor for less than a minute and nurses basically left me alone because my husband was there to keep an eye on me.
