How did you get that idea? Even if I were to accept that Better Call Saul is somehow as good as everyone says it is, Odenkirk is not the salient feature of it and I can't see how he could possibly win an Emmy for it in the drama category.

Fully agreed. I guess he's secured his Emmy nomination with that already, but I'm also quite sure that there is plenty more award-worthy material to come for him in the final six episodes.

I assumed that it was Don who was in that corner office, but upon rewatch, I noticed that, as you said, there is actually another door on his right, whereas Don used to be on the right end of the office before being put on leave. Interestingly though, said office now doesn't bear a name but only a painting.

I love how Lou Avery has apparently been written out of the programme without any mention of it whatsoever - similarly to how, in series five, Bert Cooper was miraculously back in the office after having resigned.

"Shirley, you're not gonna believe this, but I walked to work today!"

I noted those exact two quotes myself, her unintentional hilarity really is a joy to watch.

Ginsberg being mentally ill was something I'd been considering a possibility for quite a while, but its execution was dreadful. If there was a serious plot development going on, Mad Men has always used to leave the laughs out in the cold - I don't remember any quips when Lane died, Joan was raped, or Don and Betty…

With anguish I have observed that there's too little appreciation on here for:

That woman looked eerily similar to Caity Lotz's character Stephanie, didn't she? I doubt it was an intentional casting decision because it doesn't seem like a logical thing to do, but it still took me about ten seconds to realise that it was a wholly different person.

I feel funny saying this, considering how it's been only a couple of hours since I enthusiastically praised the preceding episode, but for me, this was nothing short of the worst episode Mad Men has ever done. I'd give it a D+.

Some other great things about this episode:

Imagine this: Sally’s friend comes over a couple of episodes earlier, the ominous letter is slid through the Rosen’s back door, Sally embarks on her mission to retrieve it, and, surprise, surprise, stumbles in on her dad and Sylvia in action. Suddenly, Roger and Marie as well as Grandma Ida don’t seem that much of a…

Bert Cooper's office has glass walls. That guy.

Especially Stan, not being able to curb his "happiness".

I'd just like to mention Harry's hilarious tactlessness upon seeing his secretary leaving the office with tears in her eyes - "I don’t know where you’re going, but I want you to bring back champagne."

It's a shame that Ginsberg wasn't a part of that scene, he might've responded to the question "Is there anything that
makes people smile more than Broadway and football?" with something like "not burning to death from having napalm dropped on them" or suggested a slogan like "Dow Chemicals. Incendiary products for the…

If we could have Meredith, the receptionist that had an airplane there to see her last series, clumsily standing somewhere in the background in every Mad Men episode from now on, I would be so happy. "Collaborators" had it during the conversation between Joan and Herb, while "The Doorway" had it when the guy that…

I love Matthew Weiner for about a thousand different reasons, but I especially love him for this phenomenally subtle reference to "Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency": in the scene, in which Herb explains his advertising idea for Jaguar to Don and Pete, he rambles on about "some schmuck sitting on his lawnmower" and…

I wouldn't say no to her bending her knee to me.
