yeah, no shit.

And Joan... man-- I really thought that Joan really saw something opening up for her the same way it had for Peggy and to have Harry be so utterly oblivious.

I felt really badly for Joan. I did.

Me too. Although I was glad to see evidence that she really was engaged; I still wasn't sure she wasn't making that up.

I really thought that she was making it up, too. I felt bad for her about the broadcast operations thing. I don't know that she really expected it to go anywhere, but having the rug yanked from under her like that had to be hard.

I was also so disappointed for Joan. I really thought she'd found her new niche. I guess if figures that Harry was oblivious. (I bet the new guy won't be half as good at the job as Joan was.)

And Betty. Wow - she really is losing it.

I also watched the first two episodes of MI-5 season 5: yikes.

I will be returning the disks ASAP so I can get the next one soonest. Need to check to see if I can add season 6 to my queue yet.

The writers have been just a little more 2x4 in the last couple of episodes than they normally are (by their standards, at any rate). But with Joan's fiancé telling her all she needed to do was sit around watching the shows with bon-bons as opposed to actually, you know, reading had to sting and of course, the shot at the end of her rubbing the marks from her bra. However, I will say, it was an interesting contrast, seeing her at home with the guy-- her demeanor was far more Betty-ish, than the in-control Joan we're accustomed to seeing in the office setting.

You get the impression that Roger, while still a total dog, at least respects Joan as much as he's able to respect any woman.

oh yes. That "aren't you going to get me a glass of water?" bit was classic.

Yes, and her NON-REACTION to it- like that was okay.
