Yeah. Bummer. not that the ep itself wasn't great, but I'm like "No! I just found it! Want moar."
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I finally caught up on Mad Men, and I think I could probably watch the entire "Every young person at SCDP points and laughs at Roger" sequence on perpetual loop from now until forever and never stop laughing. Pete is rude and bossy and Roger falls out of his chair in a panic! Roger scuttles down the hallway in the very polar opposite of a power walk! Roger orders everyone to find Ginsberg and Stan rolls his eyes audibly and says, "Sure, I'll start with the entire world, and eventually I'll look in my apartment," and walks out without a goodbye! Roger totally fails to boss Peggy, and when she sasses the shit out of him he turns into Grandpa: "Are you drunk? Get your feet off that table!"
The whole thing gives me such savage, savage glee.
I also made poor Hec play back Don's quietly furious "Or else" speech followed by Ginsberg saying cheerily, "He's such a decent guy," about fifty times.
But I may never be able to watch the fever dream again.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
But I may never be able to watch the fever dream again.
I was watching this episode with my brother and his wife and we were shouting things at the TV like "Get her OUT of there!" and "OK, this HAS to be a dream!" and "This had BETTER be a dream!" because we were boggling at what was going on.

OTOH, the moment where Peggy was looking at her purse actually made me far more squirmy and uncomfortable than any of the dream sequences.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Totally.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It was even more prominent in the previous episode but the whole season has focused again and again on the exchange of money. Roger's quick dip into his pocket to buy respect and quick fixes is the most obvious, but even Lane giving money to his wife, or finding the wallet, or Peggy counting her bills etc.
I'm not sure how they'll develop it, but I expect one of the overarcs for the season will contrast relationships based on exchange versus giving, what you value etc. My daughter, my ducats.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Totally.
Oh, yeah, that was awful.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, and how much of the fever dream was a fever dream? Did he actually sleep with her and dream the murder? Or dream the whole thing?
The SO was in the room, and looked up quite alarmed at that bit, so then I had to give a bunch of character background.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I think he dreamed the whole thing.

Yeah, I don't think she ever showed up at the apartment, let alone anything else.
