I didn't think he conned Roger so much as took advantage of him when he was drunk.
But do you believe Don when he tells Roger "You said 'welcome aboard'"? Because I don't.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

I don't.

I believed him when I watched, but your theory makes me not so sure. Still, my original thought was in line with Hec's -- there was supposed to be a parallel between Don & Danny. Which would mean that Roger did hire Don.

I think the parallels are still there - young annoying brash guy who nobody really wants there starts work anyway via an alcohol-related fluke.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think Don's a more active player than Roger, anyway -- he got Roger to hire him into the job he wanted, and he hired Danny because he had to.

Art Crawl!!!
I think they are meant to parallel each other but Jesse is right - Don is a more active player than either Roger or Danny. (Both Roger and Danny essentially have their jobs because of family, no?)
I wonder if we will ever find out what happened on Don's lost weekend.
(You guys will understand if I sometimes accidentally call Danny "Jonathan", right?)
Rubicon: watched it last night and it is oh so much less murky when well-written. Plus, the dialogue was better - and everyone has more personality.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Parker auctioneering was hysterical. And talking to the artifacts she's stolen before, like they're old friends, so adorable. Hardison's arms are gonna be wanting a line in the credits, soon.
"You don't wanna know how they wet the rags..." BWAH!

Just rewatched and I'm still stuck on Hardison. Arms. Oh baby.
