Mad Men Season 5 running thread

I can't be the only one who saw that shot of Pete walking into his new place and actually said, out loud, "Holy shit, Pete moved into Don's old place!"

And DD, I walk around and just say that shit sometimes.

That's what the money is for!

Poor Don's a man without a country.

 

Did anyone else find it odd when Megan quipped to Peggy about leaving Joan's baby on the church stairs?
(Considering Peggy's history.)

 

I pull it out any time it's applicable. It's probably the best quote the show's produced.

 

After Morse put down Draper and walked out of the office saying he was done in last year's next-to-last episode, thought he was gone for sure. Surprised he resurfaced, and happy about it.

 

That's what Sterling's becoming.

 

It was sad that he had to resort to a huge bribe to get Harry to switch overs. That kind of persuasion used to be his calling card.

 

Mohawk Air has an interesting history.

Peggy's idea has been used a thousand times in advertising in real life. I wonder if the show is giving her credit for inventing it on the show?

 

But I think that's the point - he doesn't have a lot of power, just a lot of money.

 

Megan cleaning in her underwear; a weak effort to assert her independence. Loved it.

More hilarious parts though were Sterling and Harry and Sterling and Draper and the Mtg. in Pete's office.

As a once younger partner, I understand how Pete needs to assert his capital; I would not accept Sterling's huge office as well given Sterling's lack of production. Of course, you don't play that card until your firmly grounded in knowing that you will exceed Sterling otherwise, you get buried.

 

Niiiiiice. I hope Don and Megan have make up sex every week.

 

That Lane Pryce description had me laughing out loud.

 

About 10 of those descriptions had me laughing out loud.
