Lots of Kubrick references, the name of the episode was even "The Monolyth".
That computer guy looked a bit like Mark Wahlberg's long lost retarded brother.

Television Mad Men | SPOILERS
- Thread starter Alex
- Start date
The end wasn't cut off this time, finally.
I've enjoyed this season thus far.
We may be witnessing the rebirth of Don Draper. He will get his spot back as creative director or he will come through in a big way for them I feel. Bert can't stand the man and Peggy is so annoying, why is she so angry ?
3 episodes left of this season...
There is no better written show on television.

What?!
Yes 7 episodes this year and then part B of season 7 (another 7 episodes next year)
Ah right, didn't know they were splitting it in two parts. Bloody hell they aren't half milking the final season!
Hard not to love an episode with that much Roger. They really beat home the fact Don was in Lane's office. Felt sorry for the computer guy, seemed a nice fellow.
Drunk Don is one of the best versions of Don, I approve of him rebelling against the system.
Another great episode.
Probably the best written show ever.

Where in the world is Bob Benson?
They've alluded to him being in Detroit a bunch of times. James Wolk himself doesn't seem to know if he's going to appear again.
Christ, how much weight has Christina Hendricks lost? She looks completely different in the last 2 episodes. Good to see the old guard Roger and Pete still batting for Don. Peggy is getting on my tits now and Lou is maybe the worst ever character in this show. I really wish Don had gone with the rival firm.
Definitely up there along with the usual suspects.
We are watching the rebirth of Don Draper. Even that little drunken rant he had at the computer guy I had to go back and listen to again. Such a well written show.
I thought it was just me, she is beautiful though, damn.
I agree, why is she so mad at Don? because of Ted, because of how he treated her? Lou will be out soon. 'He is competent'.
Are you sure you're thinking of the right character?
I think he meant Christina Hendricks?
Probably, but given Jaffy's track record with names...
If he means Peggy, he'll have to be banned.
Still would though.
Elizabeth Moss is fairly pretty.
My point being sometimes actresses are held to an unfair standard. Most women aren't measured against Christina Hendricks.
Who would win in a fight, Fat Betty or Fat Peggy?
Peggy.
If I become a tenth as cool as Don Draper is, then I will consider that a success. That final scene was as smooth as it gets, whilst Lou looked like even more of a wet towel than he usually does.
What did Harry say to Don? I missed that part.
"you think this is going to save you, don't you?"
No that's what Cutler or Lou said to Don. I mean when they left the party.
Sorry thought you meant the actor Harry Hamlin for some odd reason haha.
They were at the bar, and he told Don that Cutler and Lou were planning to land Commander cigarettes, and that will be just what they need to get rid of Don because of what he said about them in the past. That's why he came to the meeting to disrupt this plan by making him invaluable, all thanks to Harry.

Cheers.
I'm pretty tempted to watch this show through for a fourth time.
I'm not sure I'd describe it as cool. He basically bent over and begged Commander to feck him.
Ginsberg 
Everyone came relatively unscathed from that. I was expecting him to either go postal or seriously harm himself. Losing is a nipple is fine.
He saw the best minds of his generation destroyed by Sal 9000.
It was a bit of a leap for Ginsberg but it does play into the Slaughterhouse 5 vibe he was giving off when he first arrived.
Don has the belt! What a man. I initially thought the whole threesome thing would be a sick plan by Megan to test him. Why did she act bizarre the next day, when he said he needed to go back to NY? My girlfriend suggested it was because she was trying to entice him to stay in LA, is that why?
I'd forgotten about the tobacco attack he'd done in the papers so didn't initially understand his reaction to Harry's news. I guess his ploy is gonna work. Ginsberg was great in this episode as well, completely bonkers.
Betty is such a bitter character!

Is the Ginsberg stuff actually related to some similar real life events with people and computer paranoia back then or something? Seemed like a bit of a random thing to throw in, I know they've alluded to him being in a concentration camp before, maybe the humming of the computer driving him mental was something to do with that?
It feels like it must have been a thing back then, that paranoia. The work was all he had too.
