Success has not been good for Harry's character.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

It's funny how much the Chipmunks all seemed alike at the beginning with little to differentiate Harry, Pete, Ken and Paul.
But Harry was notable for failing upwards all the time. Like when they had the re-org and he didn't even realize that he'd gotten a promotion.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That was exciting stuff! So I was confused about whether they were making Peggy a partner. That's what they were congratulating her for, right? Otherwise I don't know what they were talking about exactly.

Love the merge! it managed to be both a surprise and perfectly set-up.

Yeah, suddenly, it made a lot more sense for us to have been seeing so much of CGC all this time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That was a fantastic change-up.
Love the merge!
And yes, there was a part of me that wanted Jeff Probst to walk in and tell Don and Peggy to drop their buffs.

I don't think Peggy's a partner. She's chief of copy at one of the top 25 ad agencies in the country.

* UPDATE: I have to add this to the review for posterity, simply because several of you caught this and I missed it: Herb's wife's name is Peaches. Don and Peggy are reunited, and it feels so good to Don, if not to Peggy.
Heh. Kind of like the little joke they did with Bert Cooper's sister, Alice.
So many funny lines. Loved Julia Ormond being French and bitter and drunk all night. VK really does deserve an Emmy - there's nobody like Pete Campbell in the history of TV or film, and he just fully inhabits the little shitweasel.
Joan let Don have it with both barrels, and she's probably the person there he respects the most. I hope the merger makes her rich.
But let's face it - it was pretty shitty for her and Pete and Bert to be planning an IPO and get that deep into it without telling Don.
I was hoping Meghan was going to come back to the firm. I liked her better as a copywriter under Peggy's tutelage.
