Peggy! WOW! We knew it was just a matter of time..... she is a knockout, and has the brains to match. I'm thrilled she is showing us another side, and we like it~

Peggy can tell Pete what to do with his disapproving looks!

I can just see Roger having another heart attack in the lobby of Sterling Cooper and Peggy gracefully stepping over him to meet her next client.

....i had written that that moment Draper is desperately looking into his own eyes reminded me of the last shot in The Hobo Code, of Draper's office door, and his name in block letters..... potentially the mark of a dishonest man....

you know what they say - you can run, but you can't hide!

did anyone else laugh when they cut from Pete and his brother and their wives passing a big juicy steak around the table, to the bikini fashion show at the Country Club?

hilarious, especially considering the voluptuousness of the models...

Peggy is NOT a pretty woman, nor does she play a pretty one. She is a real woman, perhaps the central character of the show despite Don's time domination. She is the leading lady. Betty is the beauty, and wisely underplays her role, allowing the audience to project whatever wanted onto or into her character or lack of.

The photography, the period control, are the canvas of the show, but the appeal is the feel of the characters in the slow pace of scenes combined with huge leaps of time. In leading man Jon, there is NO "Cary Grant" guarantee of survival or victory. The audience is never quite certain Don Drake is even likable.
