Her 5% is worth 5 million, 1.25 million of it up front on signing.
No, it's just worth $1.25 million. That is literally what Don said. She gets it over 5 years.
And of course you can find out how much everyone makes in 2014 dollars.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

Y'all. Fargo. It's really good.

Maybe I misheard, but I would swear he said 5% us worth five million dollars, a quarter of it up front. I'll replay tonight. Not a big surprise if I misheard.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Fargo IS so good, -t. SO GOOD.

We were both wrong. Rodger (not Don) gave the example of 5% being worth 1.5 million. My error was a large multiple of yours, but we were both wrong. And while it is paid over five years (implied by the five year contracts) 1 quarter of that is up front upon signing.
This is a great example of why eyewitness testimony is so unreliably. What if we were discussing real life events, with no instant replay available, and it was something traumatic, like a robbery (to stay away from recent real life traumatic events)? How many more honest errors would both of us make?

My 92 year old Mom caught up on Mad Men. She loved the song-and-dance at the end, especially since she remembers Robert Morse from his long career. But then her realism kicked in and she asked "So the last seven episodes in 2015 will be Don Draper dealing with his brain tumor?"

Did anyone watch Halt and Catch Fire last night? The premise doesn't sound like my cup of tea, but Lee Pace you know (myloveissopure-though not pure enough for Marmaduke, even I have my limits). I've got it on the DVR, but I was curious for any reactions.

Epic, I recorded it, but I'm also waiting for reactions before watching.
