Didn't sit down and watch the episode until last night. Goddamn @ Don's douchebaggery. The last scene with Megan transitioning into him with Sylvia was pretty sad.

I also felt bad for Stan with Peggy and her firm swooping in on Ketchup. Especially since her ad was garbage compared to Stan and Don's.

Favourite subplot was Joan's. Personally, any episode with lots of Joan is better for it.

I usually miss stuff like this, but I caught the black & white thing. Megan's wardrobe for the show felt similar to Sylvia's black & white outfit in the elevator.

i miss a lot of stuff in shows usually, but neither of them nailing the pitch was pretty obvious. Just Ted being down is news enough, every time we have seen him he is always upbeat and happy.

How do you mean? I just meant that Stan seemed really into it and was enjoying the fact that it was an exclusive pitch. Was probably a let down to see the competition there. Ted's talk about the little guys going after the slice of pie made it sound like Heinz chose some big firm (I might have missed him saying someone specific, I can't remember).

Edit: Speaking of Stan, he's a pretty great character at this point I think. He doesn't get a ton of shine, but he makes the most of his screen time. Loved the scene of him and Don in the "Project K" room.

You're correct. There was a fair bit of confusion about whether Ted's team won in this thread and elsewhere.

Ah, okay. Yeah, I wasn't totally clear on who got it but Ted's speech seemed to say it wasn't them. Like Krauser said, you don't usually see him sounding gloomy :lol

On a random note, I think Peggy's concept was intentionally broad after her failed attempts to woo Heinz beans with more artsy approaches. She probably assumed that the entire company was as dumb and square as Raymond.

Don's concept was too much for the client; Peggy's was too little. But Peggy probably came closer to getting it.

I personally figured that Peggy's heart wasn't in it. She'd give them exactly what they asked for, but something she didn't think they'd take.

Not unlike Don and the Jaguar guys, actually.

Wow. Can't believe they got such a huge detail wrong. Significant oversight. Not sure how I feel about the rest of the season now. :/

I wish the show had more scenes with Roger and Bert. They work so well together, and almost always manage to make me laugh.

Cosigned. They have a great sort of chemistry and camaraderie together that just adds extra weight to simply the sight of them sitting together in the room before any lines are spoken.

What's the deal with Roger and Joan? Always wondered why things cooled so much between them since Kevin was born. Not sure if it's just the writers choosing to focus on other storylines more or if they are waiting to show something later on. I can't imagine she's terribly pleased with his seeming consent over the Jaguar affair (which we know isn't true but she doesn't) nor his decision to let Harry go off in his rant for not being included in the big boy playroom.

It's pretty obvious IMO that Joan is going to hang Roger in his office this season.

Completely forgot about her and I knew I recognized her when she first appeared. She's Scotty from the other amazing TV show, Suits.

- AMC Q&A: Vincent Kartheiser (Pete Campbell)
Click to expand...
I mean this in the best way...Vince really fits Pete to a T. He seems a thoroughly decent fellow but man, everything from the self deprication to the worship of Hamm at the very end is so classic of that stifled male power complex that Pete struggles with on the show. He's either super meta with his method-like acting or was a genius stroke of casting: maybe a mix of both?

The rest of the cast and James Lipton even make fun of him for being creepy during Mad Men's 'Inside the Actors Studio' segment. Poor guy. To be fair the entire cast with Weiner included always wax poetic and really worship the ground Hamm walks on.

Vincent seems like he'd be an awesome friend.
