I absolutely love Pete's douchebaggy form of progressivism.

Pete asked who hired him because he knows that it will look bad for whomever.
...and that person was Pete.

Such a great episode. We finally get to the bottom (or is it?) of the Bob Benson drama....who had him as pulling a Don Draper?
Ken getting shot further points to someone getting killed in the last episode, I mean how much foreshadowing do you need?
Sally might not be as bad of a bad girl as she would like to think she is.
I can't wait for the finale of this season.

Pete will never get rid of Bob because Pete knows how good Bob is and will enjoy getting off to the fact that Bob pines for him.
I would keep someone around for the purpose of watching them lust after me TOTAL

Pete is so wonderfully twisted.
Great character moment to see Pete finally learning and start playing the long game. I'm also glad that there was more to Bob than just him being gay or bi.
Previous times Pete tried snitching (love how it all goes back to the Cooper quote):
S01E12
Pete: I have to bring this up to you. Only because I believe if I kept it from you in the end it would be damaging to Sterling Cooper. It has come to my attention, completely by accident, that Donald Draper here is not who he says he is. His real name is Dick Whitman, but... Dick Whitman died in Korea ten years ago. It stands to reason that he is a deserter at the very least and who knows what else.
Cooper: Mr. Campbell, who cares?
Pete: Mr. Cooper, he's a fraud and a liar, a criminal even!
Cooper: Even if this were true, who cares? This country was built and run by men with worse stories than whatever you've imagined here.
Pete: I’m not imagining anything!
Cooper: The Japanese have a saying, "A man is whatever room he is in," and right now Donald Draper is in this room. I assure you. There's no profit in forgetting this. I'd put your energy into bringing in accounts.
S06E06
Pete: Sit down, Trudy. Did you know your father pulled his business?
Trudy: No. And I don't care, Peter.
Pete: You understand that we were going to be very rich, but he's ruined that.
Trudy: He's done everything for you.
Pete: He's a hypocrite, Trudy.
Trudy: Don't you dare criticize my father.
Pete: I guess it doesn't matter that I caught him in a Midtown whorehouse.
Trudy: Just stop it right now.
Pete: It's true. With a 200-pound Negro prostitute. Ask him to his face.
Trudy: You'll say anything to hurt me, won't you?
Pete: He wanted it this way. He left me no other choice.
Trudy: You had lots of choices, Peter. We're done. Get your things.

Benson needs his "Nothing stops this train" moment.
Or the real Don Draper's LEGITIMATE son! (double twist!)

You mean you wish you lived in a fictional TV show, because Mad Men is not reality.

This is honestly the most finely crafted show in our nation's young history.
Now that they're in '69 and colors are getting wild, every frame is just jaw dropping. And that new logo? Jesus fucking Christ. Nothing comes close to the execution of this shit, jesus christ

I was going to mention the logo. Perfect retro craziness.
- Next on Mad Men: Episode 613
Also, regarding this episode, apparently Don does more work on his days off than he does on some work days.
Might as well be a previously on clip. We know anyone of or all of these things could come to a head in the finale.....no new footage though, they're giving us even less than usual.
Although, we do get a glimpse of Megan in the Tate shirt, probably just to fuck with the conspiracy theorists.

Yeah, but I love him. Luckily, he has Sally to carry him.
No.
Deadwood.
The obvious answer is The Sopranos

Someone is going to say Boardwalk Empire, and they will be lying to you.
If you want another period piece, Downton Abbey is probably the most similar in terms of production value and layering. Breaking Bad is the God-Emperor of symbolism.
The Sopranos.

House of cards, you will NOT be disappointed.
Deadwood
The Sopranos
The Wire
ROME (this fucking show...)

If you're looking for symbolism and layering this is right answer. Its no coincidence that Matt Weiner was one of the main writers on that show.

Don should do what someone here mentioned and open up a Cali branch with Harry and move there for good. Then we can have some weird final season going back and forth between the two. I just know they're setting up SOMETHING weird for the final season. I mean they're already shoving Sally off to boarding school probably because they want to focus on something else in the final season, at least I assume.
Then again I should assume anything with matt weiner, I just know he's planning a curveball for next week. Can't stop guessing.

I 2nd this House of Cards is legit.
Joke post.
That entire sequence was terrible in that regard. Fun seeing him turn out to be a badass though. Loved Sally's little smile at the end of the scene.
Pie and Beans
Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Mad Men is possibly the only show to make me yell "WHAT" out loud at the TV. More so than Game of Thrones.
The other week with Peggy fucking bayonetting her beatnik boyfriend, this week with Kenny.
Don is the best super villain.

Sally's character needs to be 18 instead of 13 or whatever she is.
I thought it looked like he had no head.. I was confident they'd blown his head off but my fiancee was like remember how Cheney shot the dude in the face and he was okay? He'll be fine! Of course, sure enough he was. I was hoping they'd done it though (killed him off). Show needs a twist like that! I feel like it's treading water.
Both scenes are definite WTF moments though. I was like, "WAS THAT COSGROVE?!" and we had to rewatch it.

Mad Men isn't even a show anymore. It's just a collection of .gifs with the sound enabled.
This brings up a good question, how old is Sally supposed to be (not just Kiernan Shipka's age)? Like 13, 14, 15 tops?
