It's only speculation. I don't know why I felt the need to whitefont it. Because it's so SHAMEFUL.
Maybe we need ShameFont.

Ha! I can't imagine Pete's life is not going to blow up in some big way this season. I'll be disappointed if it doesn't.

He'll be such an entitled shit if it doesn't (not that he isn't already), and thinking he can get away with anything.
Hmm - sounds a little like Don, except Don never feels entitled, just that he's lucky, or cheating.

Well, this whole season he seems to be trying to be Don or what Don was, and he's just failing at it so miserably.

Oooh, good point. He's having trouble integrating Dick Whitman with Don Draper. He's more successful being totally fake Don Draper with secrets and living with fear to drive him.

When I said he I actually meant Pete. Pete seems to be trying to be what Don used to be.

Huh - I thought sj was saying Pete was trying to be Don and failing, but both ideas are interesting.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I have been thinking about Mad Men lately - especially some of the tv critics opinions on the show. For example, there is a lot of discussion about how Don has lost his groove and that he seems out of sorts at work.
But it seems to me that Don has not been "Don" at work for a long while. Last season, he was out of sorts the whole season - culminating in his best friend dying out in California. I think what he was looking for in Megan is someone to replace her.
Even when "Don" was great at work, he was still leaving in the middle of the day watching artsy films and trying to find meaning.

Yeah, it's been a while since he's done the Kodak Carousel pitch.
I wonder if they'll bring him back in a loop doing a memorable pitch to end the season.
Right now all the good campaigns are coming from Peggy and Ginsberg.
