Mad Men:

Obnoxious Talent Dude: "You're a fruitcake."
Peggy: "And you're chickenshit. I can work like this. Let's go."

Whoa! Peggy for the win.

(For those not watching, he called her repressed. She took all her clothes off.)

You know, I will always appreciate writers who know the difference between horseshit, bullshit, batshit and chickenshit.

"And you're chickenshit. I can work like this. Let's go."

I loved Peggy in this ep.

It's a shame they felt they needed a filler ep instead of just taking the night off for the Emmys like everyone else, but at least they had fun with it.

I conditionally disagree with calling that ep filler. Don's hit rock bottom (I hope), Peggy's dissatisfaction is boiling over (and while I really dug her last night, her foil was a one-note paper cutout of a chauvinist pig), Cosgrove is back in the fold, and - somewhat significantly - Don's last conquest called him "Dick." If any of that winds up going somewhere, I'd say there was a narrative point to it.

Art Crawl!!!

Peggy totally rocked.

I didn't think it was filler either - lots of significant things as noted by Corwood.

Huh, totally missed her calling him "Dick" - and I certainly hope that this is rock bottom for Don.

The interplay between Layne and Campbell seemed significant to me too.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Peggy did indeed rock mightely!

I hope Don doesn't have too much further to slide. He is not that interesting in this mode. Though I did love the glimpses into how he joined the firm and how it paralleled Danny being hired.

I do wonder when/if Roger realized that he hadn't actually hired Don.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"To make me happy".

Not just you, homegirl. Whee!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Don's last conquest called him "Dick."

AND she was a diner waitress. Friday night with the fellow Clio winner, Saturday night with a waitress calling him Dick. Saturday day must have been ROUGH.

We'll have to ask his sister about that.
