im curious to see what happens with Harry Crane after this episode. He has never been the assertive type, but dude came STRONG at Joan in the partners meeting. He also inspired the best line in the episode from Roger. "should we fire him before the check clears?"
Watching right now. She looks incredible.
Like father, like son.
Prostitute mother dies giving birth to him, step-mother went into prostitution, father was a cheating bastard, and he only marries young-minded women.

Really, Tim?
...Really?
Seriously, that entire article is baffling. I can maybe understand his complaints about Jessica Pare, though I don't agree, but the rest of his points are just nonsense.

Madonna/whore complex. Don controls women by sleeping with them. Once he's slept with them he feels he has power over them. Bobbi Barrett is the best relationship to watch to see this in action. Don is freaked out by Peggy and Joan because he didn't sleep with them and accidentally got into an emotional relationship with them as people instead, which he has no idea how to handle.
Just watched last night's episode. Best one so far!
He got along really well with Joan when they met at the bar last season. I think he really respected her until she slept with the Jaguar guy.
Peggy betraying Stan like a true business-woman. I got a lot of flak in the last thread when I said I didn't like Peggy, am I gaining some followers now?
All of the Harry scenes in this episode were glorious. That pitch to Dow Chemical, him walking into the partners meeting and calling Joan out, taking that huge amount of money and not backing down on the partner thing, etc. He is the man to root for this season.
Also, during the dinner scene with the TV people, was Megan not getting that they wanted to have group sex, or was she legitimately willing to do it to get the job? If it was the latter I could see Don viewing her just like he views Joan since she slept her way into the job she has too.

I think he still respects Joan - he got his foot in the door at Sterling Cooper under similarly dubious circumstances (Waldorf Stories is still incredible). Just like Peggy sleeping with Duck didn't put a damper on their relationship.
Ain't no thing as long as the dick isn't his.
I'm surprised people feel like Joan needed to be called out. Harry was clearly wrong for attacking Joan the way he did. And, with the way he went about his bitching, I was thinking the whole point of Harry's scenes this episode were to set him up for a spectacular fall later on. He's clearly feeling himself too much, and pride cometh before the fall and whatnot...
Only respects women who act like men -> Don's gay.
I can't believe people are getting paid to write such kindergarten level stuff.

Don X Sal. I've been saying it since season 1!
Why was Harry wrong? For making light of the skewed morals the partners all have, Joan included? He's been taking on a bigger and bigger role in the company as TV becomes more popular. To see someone get a promotion over him for having sex with a sleezy old man seems like a good reason to be angry.
The partner's proposing the idea to her wasn't the right thing to do, and her agreeing to it wasn't right either. Harry has been making good profits doing honest work, and has been pushed under the rug for the past couple seasons.
Practically everyone in the world who's not in New York. But that doesn't really excuse Stan, I suppose.
While it's true that Harry deserves better than he's gotten, it doesn't excuse his behaviour, and Joan has been instrumental to both incarnations of the firm (which is why she was sought out so early in the process of setting up the new one).
They both deserve better. That they're now at each other's throats over it is nothing to cheer for.
I'm still hoping for the return of Sal. Dude was awesome.
Chicago wants a word.
Ok, everyone who's not in New York or Chicago. Though I'd still bet most of the people who live in those cities put ketchup on their hot dogs, no matter what they tell everyone else.
Rule of thumb: if you put ketchup on it as a kid, you will put ketchup on it your whole damn life.
Purists are always funny.
I guess I'm the only one who uses honey mustard.
I love honey mustard but I only use it on chicken sandwiches.

Megan looks weird this season. And Pete just looks horrible.
This is why I either.
Put both ketchup AND mustard on a hotdog
OR
Get 2 hotdogs and go just ketchup on one and mustard on the other.
It's win win.

I'm just a purist because I refuse to put anything but this stuff on my hot dogs.

Megan and Betty are pretty much interchangeable in my eyes. I can't believe certain critics are lambasting Pare's acting when January Jones is one of the worst actresses I've seen.
I need to see Pare in another role...but after seeing Jones in Unknown playing Betty (lol) I was convinced she was awful.

January Jones is terrible in most things, but she is absolutely fucking brilliant in Mad Men.
Betty is the role she was born to play.
Very true!
Don't think I've seen January Jones outside Mad Men so far, but I really like her as Betty. Her acting seems quite allright if you ask me.
I've seen that one, but that was before I started Mad Men. Maybe watch it again soon, now I wanna know.

He may have a good reason to be angry, but the sexism and pettiness with which he goes about it undermines him. He's lost the moral high ground the way he went about it.
But moreover, he could really give a shit about morals himself. He fucked Latchmi the second she let him, and he knew what she meant to his friend. Not that anyone knows that, but it shows that his morals are as crappy as anybody's.
In short: great case on paper, ruined by delivery and the fact that he's actually a raging hypocrite and opportunist. If Ken had barged in, it would have been a completely different conversation.

Ken acted pretty slimy in season one, but he cleaned up somewhere along the way.

Ken is the nice one.
My prediction: by the d of the season, Ken will be working at Peggy's firm and Dow will not be a customer of either firm.

Wow, did anyone else realize that the husband/director at dinner with Don and Megan was Stan Gable/Jefferson from Married with Children? He's gained quite a bit of weight, especially in his face
