I took Pete's fat farm comment in the first ep to be a rumor he started and "verified" because he knows damn well it wasn't Don Draper Peggy was knocking boots with on the office couch last season.

That occurred to me as well.

The directing in this episode was especially stylish. I particularly liked the way the camera would often look through doorways at the action happening within. It was like we were eavesdropping.

I think that if Peggy had been institutionalized, she may have started/confirmed the fat farm rumour. I still think that Pete is too oblivious.

She was on Pushing Daisies, too, we think.

She was the Make-A-Wish lady who murdered the insurance agents who denied the transplant for the grumpy teenager.

I'm on the Oblivious Pete train, too.

The directing in this episode was especially stylish.

There was an overhead shot towards the beginning of Peggy lying on her bed after the party at Paul's that was an incredibly well-composed shot.

Ah, that's right.

Oh, I meant to say that Peggy was incredibly bitchy to the guy at the party. the "I'm in the persuasion business" thing was unnecessary, especially after she'd been making out with him in the hallway.

I didn't think it was that bitchy. He presumed too much and was mister grab and grope. I think it takes a blunt force line like that for her to enforce boundaries.

I liked that scene. It's what she should have said to Pete.

I liked that line too - I thought it illustrated the new confident Peggy.

amen.

But, I would have liked it as a strong move if she hadn't just had his tongue down her throat. It made it seem less like she was being decisive and more like a whim that he said the wrong thing so he wasn't getting any.

Very interesting personal piece on being an ad man in the 70s.

I want to live in a penthouse in Rome!

Also, does anybody have that link on the real life inspiration for Rachel's character?
