Interesting to me:
This episode isn't about Don's inner life at all, but it's very much about how Don affects everything around him.

13 episodes with the premiere counting as 2 since it was a double.

What do you think the agency will be called?
Any chance it will be a real agency name?

Amazing. The reason I asked is because AMC broke Breaking Bad into two seasons. I said 12 because I counted the double premier as a single episode.

So, aren't there going to be a ton of conflicts of interest and lost clients as a result of this?
I'm still a little incredulous at the speed of the decision, even if the details are to be worked out later.

I thought the same thing. Makes you wonder with Don emphasizing that they need a new name and she should call it something she would want to work at. And then not revealing the name.
Both were lamenting lost clients and low returns. I think this is a Hail Mary with the hopes that Chevy will pull them both through, regardless of the collateral damage.
Why give an agency instant fame and recognition?
There is not enough money hats in the world.

A chick is suing for having her face in one of the ads during the intro. In other words, not happening.

I'd love kudos for predicting (on the 12th of April) the two firms would merge. I wrote:
And there it is. Mostly. I mean, we don't know if SCDP bought CGC, but that's neither here nor there.

Yeah he was in the zone in all ways possible and he got Peggy back (he really did regret losing her)

Still the most underrated line of the night "You had to write that down?" from Ginsberg to Roger lol. Such an unnecessary dig but such a Ginsberg quip to make.

Hot damn, this has been an amazing season so far. So many stories and characters working seamlessly together.
I could feel the merger coming early on in the episode, but it was still really exciting seeing it come together, despite the fact that Don's gigantic ego put them in such a position. I was rooting for it to fail and succeed at the same time.
I hate the Don sees this as some stroke of genius that he had despite the fact that it was born of circumstance and lucky timing. My heart breaks for Peggy.

the opportunity might have came up due to circumstance and timing but he still thought of it then and there and executed.
Pretty great move to take advantage of the situation.

It was the right move, but he has no cause to be smug about it. He held the livelihood of dozens of people in his hands hanging by a thread, all because he can't keep his raging ego in check.
I hope it doesn't get glossed over just because the result was favorable. Joan, Pete, Peggy, etc. need to take him to task for this.
Don told Joan not to whore herself out, sucks that it was for nothing. It actually hadn't occured to me just how upset she'd be, but I understand.
So much for mutually assured destruction
Amazing episode all around, Really illustrates just how much Don affects those around him.

Sepinwall's review is up at HitFix for those who like reading his take.
Why is his review up so late?

Awesome episode, so much fun. I wish Megan's father came along too, would be nice to see him again. Hopefully Roger and Megan's mother meet again too.
Will be interesting to see the reactions from people next episode. This reminded me of when Don wrote that article in S4 saying no more tobacco companies. I love those Don-ideas that turn the show upside down.
He's going to use it one day.

Joan got a shitload of money and a partnership, it wasn't exactly for nothing. Obviously I get why this would make her feel worse about it though.

What was the date of the press release Peggy was writing at the end? It was May, wasn't it? If so, we're less than a month from the assassination of Bobby
And, the Pete/Trudy thing seems irreconcilable now, no? Guess we'll be seeing next to nothing of her from now on.

Because he only thinks of himself. He assumes any action that he deems acceptable should instantly be embraced by everyone else. The look of shock on his face every time someone disagrees with him, while hilarious, is also a huge sign of how incredibly self obsessed he is.
Haha, damn. You called it awhile ago huh?
It was good to see em out and about the office this episode.

peggy was having a silent michael corleone godfather 3 moment when she saw draper's ass in the office
I'm sooooooo glad I decided to watch this before bed. Great episode, probably my favorite of the season so far (replacing the last one). It was great to finally have an episode with a lot of Roger, and Don was in boss mode. A lot of laugh out loud moments, and a lot of times where I just had a big ass grin on my face. Peggy's reaction to Don being in the office was awesome lol
God, so much shit happened. Just seriously too good. Can't wait to see how everyone else is going to react to this.

Well I think Joan's ass ripping vent on Don really resonated with him. The "we" as a team was repeated by Don and then again by Ted while they plotted their next move in the hotel bar.
This was a stand out episode and will likely be submitted for the show and individual performances come awards season.
Everyone (minus Harry & maybe Dawn) had screen time and contributed in some way. We got the normal amount of Don & Megan, but then extra time with Pete, Roger (who now polishes his own shoes!), Joan, and the CGC crew. It all just came together so well.
I'm confidence that whatever dumb shit Homeland comes up with this fall, none of it is going to come anywhere close to the 40 mins Weiner just put together.

Why the long case?
Pete's hairline is so distracting.
