Jerusalem posted:Not at all, Don absolutely crosses a line and it's gross as hell. As soon as I saw it I knew that there were surely a not-insignificant chunk of the audience who completely missed the point (Don is both desperate AND has a hosed up view on women) and thought it was an example of Don being "alpha" or some other misogynistic bullshit. I think in a similar situation, Don would have held a loaded gun to Jimmy's dick though. At this juncture in his life, if backed into a corner, his response is the viscious, dark, and wild snapping of a cornered animal. Edit: and I don't mean some sort of hyper masculine awesome anime style don't gently caress with me, I mean like a coyote with one paw in a snare coiling and yowling as you approach BrotherJayne fucked around with this message at 10:04 on Dec 16, 2020 |

He's very smart for such a chronic underthinker. Or maybe he's an overthinker, but fucks up the hip shots. Pete is just such a smarmy gently caress.

KellHound posted:Pete's my favorite because he is weirdly cynical and naive at the same time. Like cynical about business and good at seeing treads, but so bad at individuals. Like he understands that Kennedy has youth appeal (the comparing him to Elvis as response to "he doesn't wear a hat") and understands Trudy sleeping with a guy could get him published, but doesn't understand why Trudy would object to prostituting herself for his ego. He's got that affluenza

Like, how drunk would you have to be for that to happen? Like, I've gotten backsplash when wall leaning almost blackout, but peeing yourself then passing out seems a totally different ballpark. Maybe he was just real good at it? But still struck me as potentially neurological Edit: wait, one time when blackout I evidently opened a window and peed while singing "God Bless America" at like 3 in the morning, then fell out the window. But cutting lose in your own pants seems nuts Edit 2: pissing your pants when you get shot at is normal, happened to me and seen it happen to others BrotherJayne fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Jan 13, 2021 |

KellHound posted:No, HE wanted to be the one to win the business, not Joan. He can pretend that it's about being chivalrous to Joan at first, but it's very clearly about his ego in every interaction he has with Jaguar guy. That's not the read I had. Was pretty drunk the first watchthrough tho, so will reassess

KellHound posted:I think it's not clear in the episode on it's own, but it becomes increasingly clear with his interactions with the Jaguar guy. Every clash they have is an ego fight. Joan even calls him on it in the episode when Don "fires" Jaguar I figured that was Joan's fears over her contribution being devalued. Like, Don is a prideful person, but Jaguar has a poo poo product

Yoshi Wins posted:I believe Matt Weiner believes that people usually have multiple motivations for what they do. It's possible to support multiple motivations for almost every important moment in the series. Don's desperate emotional plea to Joan not to go through with it at her apartment comes across as being unrelated to ego. He's almost choked up and tells her that if this is the only way to get the account, he'd rather not be in business with people like that. But he also has a consistent pattern of wanting all the credit for all the ads his firm makes. So I believe you're both right. what the gently caress, I leave this gay rear end forum for 16 years, I come back and people are making reasonable and good faith arguments all of a sudden. poo poo. I want to make some pithy joke about how if we're both right, then you're wrong, but that might break the spell. But for real, I was a fifth and a bit into the bottle first go round, so a bunch of the subtext likely got missed. Which is why this thread RULES Yoshi Wins posted:I was holding out hope we'd see Midge again in season 7, in recovery. That season definitely has the most optimistic tone of any season, but, alas. It was not to be. Ugh, that would have been great. And a re-return of Paul. At least Harry makes it through BrotherJayne fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Jan 15, 2021 |

GoutPatrol posted:It was an accident, but he did cause it. Dick was lighting up when Don told him he pissed himself, started wiping his pants and dropped the lighter onto the gas. Don tries to kick dirt on it to put the fire out desperately while Dick runs away from the explosion. There are a thousand and one possible ignition sources for a massive fuel dump leak, and it's dumb luck it wasn't set off by the initial bombardment. And yeah, Greg loving sucks. Edit: eh I'm likely just being pedantic. Regardless, I don't think Dick feels (or should feel) guilt over the mechanics of Don getting chunky salsa'd BrotherJayne fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Jan 27, 2021 |

Jerusalem posted:Ken Cosgrove comes straight through Lane Pryce's door without even bothering to knock, not remotely intimidated or concerned about being summoned even if he does know about Burt Peterson's firing. Burt apologizes for interrupting his lunch but Ken shrugs it off, he just had a sandwich. He takes a seat without being offered one, openly pulling out a cigarette without bothering to check if that is an issue for Lane. He is the absolute opposite of Pete, which may be why Lane has called him in, as he tells him that Burt has left the Agency and for the first time, Ken shows a flicker of concern, should HE be worried? Not at all, promises Lane, in fact he's going to be the new Head of Accounts! Got a Burt/Pryce swap in this bit Fantastic writeup!

The Klowner posted:Is it morally justified for a man to cheat on his wife if he's gay? Can he be blamed? If it's a matter of context, what is the limit? For example, if there's a difference for gays in America 1963 versus 2021, what year is the inflection point? It's immoral to have a beard that doesn't know that they're a beard, that's for sure Spoilered just in case, have we done Patio yet?
