I really loved the moment when Peggy had the meeting with her new boss. I was thinking about the span of the show, how in season 1 it was all about how women can't have real jobs, women can't be copy writers. Now here she is, getting super hard-core wooed by a guy who wants her talent bad. I was happy for Peggy in this episode. She had some epic realizations. Protege no longer, she wants a career!!!
Does this mean we'll be seeing the goings-on in the other agency? Or is Elizabeth Moss off the show? Does anyone know???
just watched the acid ep.... was so grateful for the cigarette and booze gags (when the cigarette collapses and makes a funny whistle sound, when Roger opens the booze and a symphony is heard, and he is SO HAPPY)
So behind I already know what happens (I have been spoiling myself)
Can't stop thinking about it. So brutal. So fucking heavy.
So Don has now driven two men to suicide! I thought the ending of this ep was so beautiful. Glen is such a Lane character--kind of ineffectual and weird and picked on. Lane never really came into his own, he was always on the verge of Becoming. his angst is so much about his own weakness and ineffectuality. Glen said "why does everything turn out crappy," which is what happened to Lane. He had this epic moment of triumph in his life, when he quit his job and started the new agency in a blaze of glory, but then it just all kind of fizzled out for him. But then the end of the episode!!!!! Don thinking about Lane, and seeing in Glen this sort of proto-Lane-type figure. "If you could do anything what would you do," and then giving him that, that one moment, showing him that sometimes you CAN actually just go out and do the thing you want to do. Will it make a difference in Glen's life?
So fucking heavy. And the ineffectuality of the death itself. Like dying in the Jaguar would have been such an awesome symbolic gesture. But instead he had to do this kind of half-assed thing in the office.
PERIOD TALK. "She became a woman today." God, imagine getting your period if you had a 1950s mom! Awful! Poor Sally
Oh riiiight. I was trying to remember when he was reacting to Lane, cause I thought it might have been part of why it was so fucked up for him. Don has really strong reactions based on his prior traumas.

I just want to watch the Joanie and Peggy show
All the hype of Roger's LSD trip... I thought it was gonna be dumb! But it ruled. Roger is my favorite. I wanted him to dye his hair.
SPOILERS AHEAD

he got the cardboard box delivered to him!
holy shit
letting go!!!! "It's not the tooth that's rotten," what did that mean?
final scene was so fucking heavy
Also: "this is what it's like when you have an artistic temperament but are not an artist."
Also: Pete's "temporary bandage on a permanent wound."
resisting the boxes you are forced into but everything you think you're doing to free yourself only gets you deeper in the box.
Megan is weak; recognizing weakness in others. "You had no right to fill a man like that with ambition."
HOT TOOTH
Pete to Don: "Now I'm going to have the same view as you"
Peggy is new Old Don, running the biz and going to movie theaters for inspiration and sometimes giving strangers hand jobs in them
This study, published in February in the Journal of Parasitology (?!), presents the tale of a woman eating squid who experienced "severe pain"...
