Mad Men 7x03 - "Field Trip"

Eggs Mayonnaise

Eggs Mayonnaise

All In With The Nuts
"Field Trip" - Don takes an unexpected trip; Betty dines with a friend; Harry promotes a cause; the partners consider an asset.

Halfway through it -- Don's trying to fix things. Megan's a basket case. Dawn is the new Joan. Roger misses Don. Harry has been lying all this time about the "computer" that does his department's work. (Maybe he's genetically enhanced like Bashir).

The Betty scene did nothing for me -- so she's happy and contented being an old-fashioned political wife? Oh well.
 
"My mom loves animals!"

This is getting very sad -- Don comes into the office thinking he's meeting Roger about his return, a nd Roger is nowhere to be found, and everyone else is treating him like a visiting ghost. This is new territory.
 
I'm not sure where they're going with Betty's scenes -- she puts on a show of being a great mom for the field trip, but she's sort of mean to Bobby when they're alone?

And?

OK, she's taking it really far. That is unsettling. But why?
 
I knew that Don's firing was probably part of a larger power struggle between the two agencies, which don't seem to have ever merged. Although Joan's lack of support for him seems really out of character.

Is Roger the next one to get the boot? Will he and Don and Pete end up starting an agency?
 
What the ever-flippin' fuck?

"Okay."

He's seriously messed up. So, is this really about how bad he wants Megan to come back to NY, or is it just that he's about to have a major crack-up?

I have to find out what movie he was watching in the opening scene -- it's probably the key to everything in some obscure way.
 
I still don't buy Joan's attitude toward Don. Yes, she blew up at him that one time last season. But it didn't negate all the personal bonding the two did during season 5. "Christmas Waltz" -- where he took her for drinks and a test drive to get her mind off her divorce -- was one of my all-time favorite episodes. And she was truly touched by his chivlary (even though she found out about it too late) when the other partners were bartering her body for the Jaguar account.

It's interesting that Joan thinks the current state of the comapny is "working" -- it could probably fall apart just as easily as any other time in the company's history, except it's now Chevy instead of Lucky Strike dangling them by a string. Maybe after they ditch Don, and Lou turns into the failure he is destined to be, they'll come crawling back to him? That is if he doesn't end up in the nuthouse...or in prison for desertion, which will always be hanging there over his head I guess.
 
Yeah everytime Betty shows up again I think "oh, Betty's still in the show?" Her scenes weren't bad (she drank milk!) but I wouldn't miss her at all if she was never in it agan.

Am I stupid for not quite understanding the scene where the woman came up to Don in the restaurant? I guess she just wanted to shag him?
 
Yeah but they denied that when he asked them and they didn't seem to be lying (as far as I could tell.)

What age is Baby Gene? Shouldn't he be able to walk and talk by now?
 
THANK YOU! :bigass:

Wow - that's an interesting site. Someone has a lot of time of their hands to write recaps that involved...

AND THEY LIKE COMMUNITY TOO!
