Because the next season of Breaking Bad will start in July (instead of January-March like in Seasn 1-3), it won't be eligible at the 2011 Emmys!hamchan said:

I wonder if Slattery would ever win. Maybe he needs another heart attack episode.
Not to go off topic, I'm wondering if Mad Men will still air in July next year. I don't think either Mad Men or Breaking Bad could air 9pm with their adult subject matters. The other option is moving it to another night or after BB's run in September. AMC has enough shows now with Breaking Bad/Mad Men/Rubicon/Walking Dead/Hell on Wheels/The Killing they can air two new shows a week.Acrylamid said:Because the next season of Breaking Bad will start in July (instead of January-March like in Seasn 1-3), it won't be eligible at the 2011 Emmys!

I'm thinking that AMC won't air Breaking Bad and Mad Men at the same time. They should air them with some of their new shows in an attempt to help get them off the ground.
Breaking Bad and Mad Men have stable enough audiences that it would be a waste of cross promotion potential to run both at the same time.
So glad Cosgrove is back, so sad to see how far Duck has fallen. His arch in season two was just tragic, the episode where he throws his dog out on the street and starts sliding back to alcohol was pretty rough.
Favorite line of the episode?
Lane: "It is a surprise, I agree..." in regards to the Peyton Place spoilers. So perfectly delivered, I love Lane. :lol

Where are the reviews?
I only read the Project Rungay one, which was pretty cool looking at the class system in the episode.

Much obliged. I realized that even though I read these each week, I didn't remember which sites they came from.
Hamm is winning that emmy next year. He's unstoppable this season.
Anyone notice at the very beginning where the new hire asks for good places to eat around NYC and Don tells him to ask his secretary. And after Don escorts him out of his office and shuts the door, you can hear her say "I don't work for you!"
Had me in stitches. :lol Such a great show.

Also helps that Breaking Bad won't qualify.

I love the comments on AV Club about the handholding being the foundation for a threesome. :lol
Although honestly I was a little taken aback by her holding Don's hand.

Joan is pulling away from Roger too. She berated his behavior last episode and was shooting him glances through all his excessive drinking this ep with the final reprimand at the end.traveler said:
I think she's seeing that Roger isn't all he's cracked up to be, especially with her own position in the office being on the rise. The men in her life aren't living up to her standards anymore and I really hope they are setting her up for another story arc of her breaking away and becoming even more independant. I still want her to go after that script reading job, dammit!
For any UK GAF looking to pick up some old series on BluRay for rewatch or in fact to watch for the first time, Lovefilm has seasons 1 - 2 for £17.93.
Fantastic deal of both seasons on BluRay, I ordered it so I can have a glorious rewatch.

I was kind of disappointed by the alcoholic cliches in this episode, like Don waking up a day later not remembering anything and getting a call about failing at his responsibilities. It seemed too standard for this show.
Didn't really like the episode much, though I liked individual moments like Peggy owning Don with "fix it," and Don being Roger's bitch in the flashbacks.
Edit: And Betty being in the fur ad means she was with Don when he was just a salesguy, saying a lot about her entitled attitude during the show so far.

For some reason their little kiss when he won seemed a little more odd to me.
Liu Kang Baking A Pie said:
I don't know. Missing an entire day, waking up in the exact same position and he turns and you start to realize that the girl is someone different - her uniform on the dresser, Betty's call.... it kind of gave the viewer the same kind of confused, hurried rush to figure out what the hell is happening, just like Don. I thought it was a nice touch.

Yeah that was all awkward and revealing, though I think it was done just to give people something to talk about. Joan and Don seems like a bad place to go.Vyer said:

Definitely, but Don was so drunk and giddy that entire sequence (the awards, the meeting, and the after party) that it's tough to draw much from it.Vyer said:

Fuck, I was just talking to someone about how Hamm has the Emmy next year since Cranston won't be eligible, and that meme with Obama was in my mind right when you posted this, so I busted out laughing.Cornballer said:

this image actually took a scene that I found a bit offputting and out of character and made it golden.

What an awesome picture. Much better than the gifs I made. That scene was so awkward to watch and I hit the pause button so many times, it took me five minutes to watch it.

Btw, I didn't make that image. Just something I found yesterday while looking for gifs.
It's unnerving seeing Draper like this. For some reason seeing his hair slightly out of place was making me uncomfortable.

Fantastic episode again. This season has begun in a much more lively and engaging fashion than prior years. It's certainly the funniest the show has ever been. Don was almost unrecognisable for most of this episode with all his gleeful smiling. That final shot, in particular, was amazing. :lol
Peggy is on fire this season as well. So many great moments and lines.

I'm talking about the overall season there. From the Lane/Don interactions a few episodes ago to Don's devious plan last week, this season has been delightfully playful._dementia said:

I kinda wish John Slattery was in there too, just for giggs.
