I don't think that it's that serious, just that having Don as a part of the package makes it so much more attractive.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

It might be that serious. I think he's considered that important as an asset - especially with the Hilton account. They don't value Roger; they didn't even put him on the org chart. Cooper is old and exiting. Nobody else in creative has anywhere Don's reputation. What would they have without him?

And Lois! I was shocked to see her still there. Though I do like the actress, so I'm glad.
I'm kind of missing the secretarial staff level viewpoint we used to have, which is gone with Peggy promoted and Joan leaving, and Jane married up.

They dumped Duck as soon as Draper had a problem with him. Yeah, I think it is that serious. They needed him as part of the package.

Duck was also a noticeable alcoholic, which is saying something in that day and age.

It wasn't just his bonus money, though. He's got quite a stash of bolt money in there.
I love how they waited until we'd pretty much gotten over feeling like Don's identity was a threat to him, for Betty to find it. The moment of crisis had passed in the office, but where it does matter, at home, it was still in full force. I mean, it's Betty's name.
She intended to confront him initially, but when he didn't come home, she didn't have the right opportunity. And then there she is, sitting on the info, and once that's the case, she might as well wait until she wants to use it.
I liked the bits with Peggy and Paul. I actually miss the advertising parts of this show. I find it fascinating, both the products and the way they're presented.
It's actually the best feature of this show, our precognition. It makes it so interesting to look at things in the light at the time.

Except I didn't really need to know what Paul did for inspiration and/or relaxation during those late nights in the office.

Hee. Yeah, thank you show. Not necessary!

Did anyone else's heart stop when Peggy paused outside of his office?
