I really hated how abrupt their exits from the show were

Especially ginsberg who seemed like he was set up for a much bigger role when he's introduced but the writers had no idea what to do with the character




Bob and his weird smile just sort of disappeared after Joan told him she didnt want to be his beard.

Ken only lost an eye; it was one of the British executives who had his foot run over by the riding lawnmower and lost it.

How did Elisabeth Moss convince hollywood that she is some siren that all men are attracted to?

This show and Handmaids Tale, guys are fawning over her, ruining their families, commitng treason....for a mid AF chick with a bird face.

Last season of Handmaids Tale she looked like a linebacker...Specifically Jack Ham...with all her teeth/.


PREACH

I hate her face

He definitely gets the last laugh at the end and it was great to watch.


I love the fact that he was always kind of a thorn in the side of Pete Campbell. When they were first bought out by the British company (McCann-Erikson) and Lane was arranging the staff, he appointed both Pete and Ken the same position, and it ate away at Pete.

I have a take that I imagine is pretty unpopular. I really enjoyed Harry Crane. I laughed most of the times he was on screen (typically at his expense, but still)

While not a good man by any stretch, I love Roger Sterling. He made me laugh out loud the most.


Every time he got to fire Burt Peterson. LOL

He was a useful and solid component to the show. He served a purpose as a contrast to the other "classic men".

Harry in L.A. was my favorite. Him telling Don that if he came out there he'd get cast on Bewitched.

I started a re-watch yesterday.

Through E3, Don has cheated on Betty twice and went to get Sally birthday cake and didn't come back for hours. He feel asleep under a bridge. Hahah

Pete came back from his honeymoon and "who put the Chinaman in my office?" Haha

Yeah, the show probably wouldn't have lasted as long if they tried to convince us there was an ad firm where everyone from creative to sales was a handsome silver-tongued devil or physically attractive woman.

Harry Crane is actually one of most competent people in the entire firm maybe second only to Don.

He was way ahead of the game on TV computers etc.

Roger’s unfiltered dislike of Harry Crane is hilarious. Gave him the TV job thinking it was a disposable position only for television advertisement to blow up in the 60s, and Harry being good at his job and irreplaceable, much to Roger’s chagrin

It’s hilarious.



Also when Harry goes on his rant about Joan getting a partnership dude was spot on.

They didn't really dwell on it, but the first episode of season 7 begins with Freddy giving an incredible pitch for Accutron Watches to Peggy. "It's not a time piece. It's a conversation piece."

Later Freddy brings lunch over to Don's apartment and Don asks how Peggy liked the pitch. Don goes to pay Freddy for the food, but Freddy declines saying that Freddy should be paying him and makes a comment about how Don is really making a name for him (Freddy) out there. Just goes to show that deep down Don was an Ad Man at heart. He was rich enough to never have to work again, but he was still churning out great ideas for little money and no recognition just to stay in the game. Also shows that Don's work was usually at its best when his personal life was at its worst.
