Mad Men 11

I guess Peggy is doing all the rest of the agency’s work?

I guess I was right

Lobster? Who the hell as money for lobster in that agency?

Oh! What a fucking pig, WTH is wrong with him?

And Pimpy Pete is acting like a whore monger

And you shouldn’t even bring it up you ass

I hope she slaps him. Hard

She is not going to put up with that bullshit. He needs to be as afraid of her as Don was.

“The is an act of desperation” translation “Please don’t tell Don or Roger”

The three of them are going to kill him very dead.

Pete has completely lost his mind trying to justify that.

It’s one thing taking some guy to a whorehouse; it’s another thing pimping out Joan

Lane is going to get fucked so hard and so dry with all these money games he’s been playing

Damn she was as cold to Ken as Don was to her.

Oh fuck she’s gonna apeshit on someone

This was back when 12K was like making 60K today

OMG is Lane going to confess? Nope, I was wrong

I forgot this tool had a kid. Ugh

Oh boy, now what does she want

I wonder if Megan’s as good as her mother seems to be

I don’t think all this dancing on the table is going to end well

Oh FFS, he can dream of fucking the neighbor but can’t be bothered to fuck his own wife?

And his wife knows why he would get an apartment NYC, I doubt Trudy is that dumb

Joan’s mother is such a cramp, doesn’t she have a home of her own? OH!

Oh boy, I don’t think Don counted on this.

And now Daddy puts his foot down and Meggy throws and tantrum

FFS she’s worse than Sally

WHAT! I hope they give her double what she asked for and more.

Freddy Rumsen stirring the pot. Would they ever hire him back; everyone remembers when he was drunk he pissed his pants in front of a client

This is another glacial episode. There had better be an explosion of something in the finale in a few weeks

Ooooo, “close the door”

He lies with such facility. I used to feel a bit sorry for Pete; not anymore

Joan is sexy whether she’s trying to be or not.

Ohhhhh, Pete’s lie came back to bite him in the ass.

OK, that’s cool shot of them all walking up to the building for the meeting in their hats and coats. For some reason it reminds me a little like Reservoir Dogs

I feel bile at the back of my throat

Pleeeese don’t Joan, pleeease!

Is she going to hold them to making her a partner?

“Lemee see ‘em” Ugh This guy is such a pig. I hope she flashes him and he has a heart attack.

I think I’m going to cry I’m so upset by this.

Isn’t this deja vue

What? Oh now I get it. Dammit the white knight came too late.

Awwwwe they are all so ebullient about this success and Joan’s eyes look almost dead.

Dammit with the exception of Megan, they have really been treating the women in this show like shit this season, especially Joan.

The Hatfields and McCOys? I think I’ll be DVRing that it looks pretty good.

Is he going to get this part?

Oh, the questions they could ask back in the day. “Are you married”, “are you planning on having a baby”

Let’s see if she comes up with a good number

Oh my.

So is she going to go or not?

Is she going to want to go back to the agency?

Somehow this acting thing is going ruin their marriage.

Is he going to yell at Peggy

They got the account! Did they make her partner?

Lane is going walk into NY traffic

Oh, they did it

And now we know that Peggy still makes a few thousand $$ more than Joan.

I love that smooth move of Don’s, leaning back with the drink and that smile on his face.

He treated her like he used to treat Betty. He never thought Betty would leave him either.

He can’t completely argue with her and he knows that she’s right.

There is so much love between the two of them in such a powerful way. He’s always treated her like his “work daughter” but not in an infantilizing way.

Wow, she deserves an Emmy for that scene alone.

Brava! What a moment Elizabeth Moss. Peggy walking into that empty hall towards the more money (and power) while Joan is trapped in her glass conference room.

As much as I hate what happened to Joan (because even though she ultimately made the choice, she was raped as surely as her husband did to her before they got married) I’ve said all along that Peggy, Betty and Joan represented three archetypes of women who came out of the 50s and how to adjust to the changes of the 1960s. But that’s a different post.

This go cart is speeding down hill; I'm beginning to wonder if all these harbingers of death are about a physical death or are we talking about final death knell of the 50s and everyone's life
