Okay, we're NAFDA in here, right? That's what all the confusion over in Bureau was, right? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but Ima talk about it in blackfont.
First, an awesome, crazy episode. How much do I love Joan? "I don't care if it's to Cuba, I need some notice."
I knew something was up when they gave us the shot of Don's hands and the money as the elevator doors closed, but I didn't ping to what he'd done until the little grin at the end. I thought it was an interesting revenge, since it took place in the context of work. He made Roger look a fool in the building with his name on it. It was all so deliberate, the oysters, the alcohol, the freaking cheesecake. And then when he left him, he practically skipped up the last steps. Until I realized what was happening, I thought Roger was about to have a stroke or something.
We don't think Betty did do anything to provoke Roger's pass, do we?
I liked how the lines of the gender world keep getting drawn. The womens' world of groceries, shops, kitchens. What people expect out of each other.
And I'm still so completely creeped out by the shrink's reporting back to Don. As a woman today I function with so much autonomy; I take it all for granted. And it's not. I know my putative daughters will live again in a world completely recreated from mine, but it's hard to realize how different my world is from that of my mother.
I don't think that Betty did a thing out of line -- Roger and Don were the one's out of line.
Yeah, the shrink reporting to Don is just super creepy. And I have to say -- of course, she's bored and frustrated and obsessing over stupid things. What the heck else is she supposed to be doing?

I pinged it when the elevator operator looked really nervous when they walked back in.
Yeah, when you think about it, he took a huge risk by accepting Don's bribe. I mean, it's the big boss!
I thought those shots were maybe about setting something up for race relations stuff later on.
Oh, and I meant to mention...all the shots of dissipation are just porn! These gorgeous lingering glances at smoke curling into the air, the swish of the glass, food and lighting and comfort. Total porn.

But he's not, is he? He says it's his name on the building, but that other large guy (forgot his name) seems to be the big big boss. Do we know Roger's connection with the building?
No, Betty was intrigued and interested, but I don't think she acted forward or anything.

Even though it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, I can't shake the idea that Don is passing.

The company's name is Sterling Cooper. Roger is the Sterling.
Do we know Roger's connection with the building?
He was introduced as the Biggest!Boss' partner this episode, wasn't he?
