Peggy Olson’s growth

Did anyone else love Peggy’s growth throughout the show? She grew from a nervous new secretary to a senior copywriter who could stand her ground to make sure she was heard.

Also, I found Peggy’s arc (her being the deuteragonist) to be a source of comfort throughout the show when Don would be in the gutter.

Hits hard

These two comments are from A little kiss, season 5 ep 2, the Zou bisou bisou one. It kinda hit me that it's also de kiss goobye when someone dies. His suit is black and, also, the name Delores reminded me of Dolores, which in spanish means Pain. When he is talking to hear and kinda flirts and talks about her underwear, he turns around and looks to the window, but then he "comes back" to the reality of his office and the blinds makes him look like locked in a cage, like a blackbird.

Maybe this was debated before here but the not-too-subtle foreshadowing never ceases to amaze me. Also Jared Harris is a very gifted actor, his whole presence the entire episode breaks my heart.

How was Henry Francis able to afford such a huge house on a government salary?

He works for the NY Mayor? Governor? Whatever it is

I know it’s not the same thing but I used to live in DC and had friends who worked for members of Congress or even the White House and they all for the most part lived in apartments lol

My point is, a gov job usually doesn’t give you such a luxurious lifestyle to afford a huge 2 story house in the suburbs of NYC

How would mad men be different if this guy didn’t crawl out of the water?

It’s a worthy question to ask

Alcohol the new cigarette?

Has anyone here dealt with alcoholism? It really feels like alcohol is ubiquitous, the same way cigarettes were in the 60s but it's just as unhealthy

I like the way the show at first glamorises it, then shows the repercussions
