You're right, I was confusing Peggy with Joan for some ungodly reason. I know where the departments are located within the office, however, that wasn't where I was confused.

No, I recently read that HBO submitted all nominations for the first season of True Detective in the Drama category, even though they would have obviously swept the mini-series/anthology category. I guess they wanted a challenge.
Yeah, I got that from Joan and Cutler, but what I didn't understand was how this was a conversation they were having at that moment, not a conversation they would have had when they initially decided to put him on leave. They were obviously not on the same page at all, it seemed odd.
I see two possible scenarios: Don and Peggy are "co-copy chiefs", which would be fun, but I think both will report to Lou, instead of Peggy reporting to Don reporting to Lou. Or Sterling was serious about firing Harry Crane and Don replaces him in the media department.
Yeah, isn't he going to be up against both Bryan Cranston for the last season of Breaking Bad AND Matthew McConaughey for True Detective this year? 2015 will be his year for sure.
If Don can keep turning down hot ladies like he's been doing all season, I think he can avoid a bottle of CC if it means losing his job and his partnership.
I think Roger does genuinely like Don, but let's be real…..he brought Don back in because 1. he seemed like he had dried up and was acting normal, 2. he truly realized that it would be folly to lose him to another agency, 3. Cutler was cutting him off at the knees (no pun intended) by consolidating power against him.…
He absolutely guest starred on last night's episode of Silicon Valley.
Sterling always brings it. My favorite was his Iwo Jima line from A Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency.
Seriously: these idiots just let a MODERATELY SOBER Don Draper back into their midst. Game over.
I understand her resentment toward him completely. However, let's not pretend that some of that anger stems from being slightly, secretly happy that he's there to appreciate her genius (which she's never going to get from Lou).
I also think it was related to the Jaguar issue, but someone else on the thread mentioned that she may have also been acting in loyalty to Cutler, since he moved her upstairs and gave her permission to hand off her personnel duties to someone else. Cutler knew what he was doing, cultivating the loyalty of someone like…
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…
