Eggs Mayonnaise
All In With The Nuts
They picked a good time for Ginsberg to finally crack up. We knew it was coming, but the when and how remained a mystery.
I knew he was a closet homo too. Yeah, it was the computer's waves that made him start drooling after Stan's shoulders. Meanwhile he's never really shown an interest in women, especially any that his dad pushed his way. Even when he first interviewed for the job, he barely noticed Peggy was there as he kept drooling over the prospect of meeting Don. Also there's his claim in the Howard Johnsons episode that his father wasn't his real father, but that he was actually a Martian, or maybe the only concentration camp birth in existence. (That feeds just as much if not more into his psychosis as it does into his sexual ambiguity, but still.) He was always the most morally outraged person in the room no matter what the issue -- transference of his father's old-world influence. And his gaydar went off loud and clear for Bob Benson.
OK maybe he's just nuts. But I still think he's a closet homo too...either way I'll miss him, although his impact has diminshed over time. I wonder if we'll see him again. If only to find out if they were able to sew his nipple back on.
Betty. Sally. Which is which these days? That tense Edward Albee-esque house is giving poor little Bobby an ulcer. Not that I want Betty taking up a lot of time in the next 2 episodes, but I hope we see Sally get somewhere beyond this generic bitchy teen phase.
Don's showing up at the Philip Morris meeting and flipping Jim & Lou's idea of canning him with a claim that they wouldn't go with SC&{ because of Don's letter -- that was a masterstroke. Old school Don. But in a warped, twisted way. He's ready to renounce everything he was for a client, just to keep them from firing him from a firm that doesn't even exist anymore except in his mind. Jim even warned him -- even though he may have just potentially won them their biggest client yet (and apparently, Lou's awe at seeing just what made Don the legend he became) -- Jim will simply twirl his mustache for a while until the next opportunity arrives to drop Don through a trap door. The funny thing is, they probably didn't even want Philip Morris' business in the first place. Now they actually do need Don (and maybe Roger) for their tobacco experience.
Bring back Sal! Bring back Sal!

Of course it will all probably fall apart anyway, but this was a nice if brief) glimpse of Super Don.

Oh yeah, Megan and Stephanie. That was just weird. What the hell does Megan want in the end?
