Oh, that's cool.

Hat-trick!

Just reread Sepinwall's quote above. According to the NY Times obit Foote resigned from the American Tobacco account in 1948, so he'd been an anti-tobacco advocate well before 1965.

We don't really see Peggy reach out the way she's done and Faye kind of shot her down. Why do you think that was?

Also, office gossip says that Peggy slept with Don to get where she is.

Ahhh, I'd forgotten about that.

Good point, Hayden!

Yeah, Faye knows exactly who Don is and what she`s getting, and her job is to be tuned in to what people are saying, so she`d definitely have heard that about Peggy. And of course Peggy does respect Faye in the way she said, but Faye has no reason to reciprocate.
 
I definitely identify with Peggy`s search here. I worked in a lot of fields that are still heavily male dominated. And I expected to have some sisterly solidarity with the few other women there, but that didn`t always happen.

I love when a show finds the answer just in the nick of time...except it doesn't. And bad things ensue. It's so much more believable.

Totally. I'm so worried about the "the govt had all this info in advance and didn't do a thing to stop it" backlash that may hit our peeps.

Is it wrong that I am more worried about Kale than the nation's oil supply on Rubicon?

Hope not, 'cause me too.

Ooh, do you think the evil band of behind the scenes profit makers who were childhood friends will band together to take out Truxton, Julius Caesar style?

Please, please, please! Hate Truxton, sooo creepy (which I suppose speaks to the actor's skills, but... ::shivers:: ).

I think I need to stp letting my DVR catch Rubicon and watching it much later on Sunday nights...I keep having conspiracy theory dreams and waking up all stressed.

Just caught up on Madmen. Holy crap, they are going to resolve all this in one episode? Or they are going leave it unresolved, start next season a year later, and never explain how they survived...

They've established that they can scrape by for six months, so it's entirely possible they end on a cliffhanger.

There's been no hint that Conrad Hilton is going to rush in with a saving account, or anything like that. So it might be a few marginal wins that help them squeak by.

As I was thinking about it last night after watching, this makes much more sense from Weiner's perspective. You don't want them fat and happy. There's way more drama to milk by seeing them struggle to establish themselves.

Anyway, I expect it won't be one big account but a bit of a rally to corral a couple mid sized ones which makes the difference.

As long as it starts six months later. What I would hate is to have it start a year later ...
