You won’t see the full cast in episodes. It’s de facto cost control. They won’t pay for talent if they aren’t cast. That’s why some episodes follow niches of the cast.

I like that Peggy stands up against Don but her outburst in the Heinz presentation was a little far. She’s going to end up costing SCDP business if she keeps that up.

I didn’t like the outcome of her outburst but I appreciated the fact that she wasn’t willing to let someone who knows nothing about the advertising business tell her her idea was shit. She’s the epitome of the changes happening in the country during that time period.

I think the first Mrs. Sterling is actually going to come through and help out Roger. He’s bringing in Firestone. I just know it.

I wonder if that would make Pete completely unglued. I loved the former Sterlings together. Makes sense they are married in real life.

He’s constantly unhappy because he thinks he’s entitled to what everyone else has

Exactly; seeing him not get what he wants (or getting his ass beat by lane) is very satisfying.

So far all he’s done is talked about bringing in new business…still has a ways to go to reclaim his former glory

I think the first Mrs. Sterling is actually going to come through and help out Roger. He’s bringing in Firestone. I just know it. Harvey Firestone Jr. was a big part of the 2nd World War. Roger will capitalize on that.

I had high hopes for Peggy this season.

You don’t anymore? I think she’s really coming into her own. She used to deal with Don the same way Megan does now (but without the sex of course). She was afraid to stand up to him. Now she speaks her mind and has her own ideas and has an independent spirit. I really like her.

Pete is basically a shittier, more transparent form of Draper but because he’s weasely looking he’s hated

I disagree. Draper doesn’t do things because he sees other people doing them and wants what they have. He does things only because he wants to. Don doesn’t really give a shit what other people think of him which is the complete opposite of Pete.

He got her pregnant that time they had sex on his office couch? How the hell did I miss that?

I hate how unhappy Pete is with his life.

Pete’s narcissism knows no bounds. He’s constantly unhappy because he thinks he’s entitled to what everyone else has. A trip to Woodstock would do wonders for him.

Of course until she starts sleeping with one of her fellow actors or one of the acting instructors.

I think this is almost certainly going to happen.
