She giggles through the entire scene. I found it grating and unlikely in that type of character.
yes, and I didn't like her attitude towards the rest of the crew. if it turns into an "her against them" thing, I think that will get old quickly.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My guess is that they're going to be uncomfortable and maybe slightly resentful around her at the start, but accept her by the end of the run.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, Two Live Crew was the one that was supposed to be the finale (or whatever), right?

OMG that was one sick piece of product placement on Mad Men tonight! I liked the disclaimer that got thrown in.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, this was definitely my favorite episode of "Mad Men" this season and might be one of the top in the series thus far. I loved the looping back of references (e.g. the mention of the play being a tragedy that had a happy ending, the Twain, the weirdass snake gift, Don's mention of a snake), the unexpected humor. This fired on all cylinders. I think I'm going to watch it again right away which I haven't been doing.
I also kind of predicted some things that were going to happen (when I saw them running around on the lawn mower, I ducked my eyes behind my hands and I prayed for Joan and Peggy's safety).

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I liked the disclaimer that got thrown in.
You mean the one that Kenny shouted, or was there something else?
