That is extremely troubling.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I was so happy to see the Don and Peggy Show Back in fine fettle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know enough about these Men who are Mad, but the X-Men part of this X-Mad-Men parody is a bit disappointing.
(Oddly, it's a Quiznos ad that says nothing about Quiznos)

It mentions toasted sandwiches.

I know, but apart from the poster in the background, they ignore the brand. Someone listening and not looking 100% could be headed out to Subway right now.

That is true. A calculated risk, I suppose - it is supposed to be so compelling that you don't do that, presumably. As a dual parody - it's a good idea but I don't love the execution. The casting could certainly be better.

Re: actual episode - I love Peggy so much right now. And Don is clearly at his best when he is with her, and she is already a better creative whatever for working with him.
Poor Joan, she was in quite a spot. I'm a little surprised by how opposed she is to Harry becoming a partner.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Have not quite caught up on Mad Men, but some observation on the next to the latest:
1) By bursting in on the meeting with the cigarette people, and suggesting an apology, wasn't Don already violating his agreement by going "off-script"? Seems like they now have grounds for firing him without buying out his partnership.
2) The threesome Megan arranged seems to echo the carousal theme of the previous episode. From being shocked at the offer from the kinky couple in the previous season, she is now the one arranging a threesome. Of course her friend was already willing to seduce Don *without* Megan participating. So not that much of a friend. Which is a good thing, because I get the feeling that friendship may be over. In spite of the "great party" line, she seemed in an "oh God, what did I do" hurry to get out of there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had the impression Megan sent her in to Don.
