"And you're chickenshit. I can work like this. Let's go."
I loved Peggy in this ep.
It's a shame they felt they needed a filler ep instead of just taking the night off for the Emmys like everyone else, but at least they had fun with it.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

I conditionally disagree with calling that ep filler. Don's hit rock bottom (I hope), Peggy's dissatisfaction is boiling over (and while I really dug her last night, her foil was a one-note paper cutout of a chauvinist pig), Cosgrove is back in the fold, and - somewhat significantly - Don's last conquest called him "Dick." If any of that winds up going somewhere, I'd say there was a narrative point to it.

Art Crawl!!!
Peggy totally rocked.
I didn't think it was filler either - lots of significant things as noted by Corwood.
Huh, totally missed her calling him "Dick" - and I certainly hope that this is rock bottom for Don.
The interplay between Layne and Campbell seemed significant to me too.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Peggy did indeed rock mightely!
I hope Don doesn't have too much further to slide. He is not that interesting in this mode. Though I did love the glimpses into how he joined the firm and how it paralleled Danny being hired.

I do wonder when/if Roger realized that he hadn't actually hired Don.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not just you, homegirl. Whee!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Don's last conquest called him "Dick."
AND she was a diner waitress. Friday night with the fellow Clio winner, Saturday night with a waitress calling him Dick. Saturday day must have been ROUGH.

We'll have to ask his sister about that.

And that was a great Rubicon. Much better show with good writers.
