That was great, except Roger didn't technically fire him the first time, at least not in person, in fact he was late for the meeting he got fired in and showed up after he was told lol.

Strong episode but some weird stuff went down. Pete and his mother, Don keeping the doctor's wife in the hotel room, Bob taking Joan to the hospital.. most of it was just uneasy to watch, but now the docs wife knows just how creepy Don is and got the hell out of that, cry me a river Don you adulterous piece of shit. Peggy was right, he never knows when he has it good, or if he does he takes it for granted way too often.

Who cares if roger didn't fire him the first time around? Point is he ends up at CGC, the merge happens, and Burt is shown the door. hilarious!!

Don and the docs wife was just weird.

Watch it be Bob and Joan instead, that would make her Mom happy.

No way Joan would have anything but a fling with Bob. She really like Ted's giving up his seat for his secretary.
Though, I wonder how Ted will feel about Joans whoring herself to get the partnership.
 
I used to say nothing much happens in each episode of MM, and yet it was gripping. Now the ride is hectic!

Finally we see a really good guy in MM - Ted Chaough is hard-working, polite, a good leader and knows his stuff. Something tells me he's gonna get killed 🙁.

And that Benson is resourceful - who'd have thunk it?!

Btw, when exactly did we see Burt Peterson last? I mean which previous season/episode? Don't recall it very well.

First episode of Season 3 when they were laying off a bunch of people after they sold the company. That was the first time he was seen too, before then he was only referred to by name.

He got Peggy to betray a friend's confidence, and then informed the Bake Beans guy that SCDP was going after Ketchup.

He cheated in the Honda competition.

I thought he seemed sleazier than anyone at SCDP.

I think you just brought up a key season/series plot point, perhaps an important piece of the finale.

That shit lasts days? Looked like Draper was still on it by Sunday.

Normal dose lasts about 8 hours, but higher doses can last days. It can be injected, but never did that in my druggy days, so don't know how it affects things.

It's LSD, and this is one of the best television episodes ever aired.

I don't think so. They never said or even implied that, and when they have shown LSD usage in the past (with Roger and Jane) it was depicted very differently. I took it as some kind of speed (the doctor called it a "mild stimulant") rather than a hallucinogen.
 
So that was this season's "Fly" episode (you'll love it and think of it as art, or hate it and see it as incoherent fluff) and I absolutely hated it. Honestly, what was the point of half that crap? What a comedown after thinking better episodes were on the horizon after the merger. And enough with the whorehouse flashbacks, we get it, and we could have drawn our own conclusions without anymore of them at this point. For the first time ever I was hoping they would focus less on the work environment and more on the family after seeing the direction this episode was going. Don't get me wrong either, loved the weed episode in Season 3 and Roger's LSD trip in Season 5, but this "shot in the ass" just felt all wrong and ridiculous, nothing felt right. Yeah, sure, Ken tap dancing like a champ looked awesome and other things were quirky-cool, but it added NOTHING. After 6 years of MM 1-uping themselves it's finally having a seasonal letdown.

There's no way in hell that some type of speed caused Don to trip like that. It could have been a combo of speed and some psychedelic, because the characters were acting waaaayyy to tripped out for simple amphetamine. Speed would have just focused them on the task, not caused Don to have flashbacks and emotional reactions weird things like magazine ads, or caused him to completely lose track of time. Those have nothing at all to do with amphetamine, and are much more in line with some form of psychedelic.

I took it as more as the doctor was a sketchy drug acquaintance of Roger, hence lsd.

I thought the doc was brought in by Harry Hamlin of the other company?
 
I just want to thank some of you for encouraging me to look up "speed" -- I now know it's the casual/street name for meth. I knew of both, didn't know they were the same.
