No, it's just worth $1.25 million. That is literally what Don said. She gets it over 5 years.
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?"
Your Mom is awesome, Typo Boy!
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.
ET,
we watched it in our household and the pilot is BORING. I have pretty high regard for Lee Pace and I wish he were in another vehicle.
I haven't watched it yes, but it combines several of my favorite things (Lee Pace! Computers! The 80s!) so I'll probably stick with it even if it's terrible.
Ok, H&CF was pretty terrible, but as I predicted, it's pretty terrible in lots of ways I like. Hopefully it will turn soapy rather than dull.
Hlt was pretty cliched but I'm hoping it'll improve. I mean Lee Pace right? I've been seeking out interviews with the showrunner just trying to get a sense of what they're trying to do and the biggest WTF I found so far is a long paragraph where he's talking about how he and all the writers are excited about the idea that the psychopathology of the people working in computers is put into the machine that they're working on? WTF WTF. his hand wavy other example is the Zuckerberg creating Facebook because he couldn't get a date. I should just give up right now. Except Lee Pace! and Scoot what's his face has a good resume, and two female computer professionals out of four primary characters. Mary Stuart Masterson hair!
