However, I do wish Jane would grow a backbone already - sure, she used her leverage to get the new apartment, but she didn't exactly stop him from coming up or from sleeping with her. That was as much on her as on him.<br /><br />I really enjoyed all of the aspects of competition in this episode: Don against the young and talented creative; Betty comparing herself not only to Megan's young body and modern apartment, but to her whole relationship dynamic with Don; Peggy feeling slighted that Roger went to Ginsberg this time; Sally jealous because Megan was "her friend first."

I thought it was silly when he was recording his thoughts in the devil voice and it seemed like both groups liked Ginsberg's idea more. I thought the arc was "Don has lost his fastball," but it did not go that way.CWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-15942870403130056392012-05-14T10:52:28.967-04:002012-05-14T10:52:28.967-04:00I'm actually pleased there is so little Joan.....I'm actually pleased there is so little Joan...mainly because the Joan-as-struggling-single mom storyline does nothing for me.

Like, twice as good.<br />- The tiki restaurant scene somehow brought to mind the restaurant scene early in <i>The Apartment</i>. I mean, I guess all 60s tiki restaurants look alike, but there was something really reminiscent there.Wattsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-35784233711700138142012-05-14T10:29:56.016-04:002012-05-14T10:29:56.016-04:00Have to replace "Roger and Peggy" with &...Have to replace "Roger and Peggy" with "Roger and copywriter" as the recipe for success. Roger usually gets all the quips, but, just as Ginsberg has outdone Don and Peggy on paper, he outquipped Roger in Roger's own office. "Can you keep a secret?" "No." <br /><br />Incidentally, I find the Joan stories to be just as depressing and momentum-arresting as the Betty stories. Can't wait to see what Tom and Lorenzo think Don's casual polo outfit connotes. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
