I actually like Betty, although she is childish, it wasn't her fault...Don fucked it all up and he knows it, I really have to give Betty credit for being able to exercise so much control, I didn't like it when that random guy got to bone her in the bar but I guess she deserved that one.


Campbell has come a long way, and as I remember it, his relationship with his wife seems to have matured. He's still a bit sleazy, but he's growing up.

I disagree about Betty. Of course Don has done a lot he should be ashamed of, but she has not behaved well at all. The moment she found out her little-girl, fairy-princess world wasn't exactly what she thought it was, she started pouting and demanding like the spoiled turd that she so obviously was (which was the entire point of the plot thread with her father). And just remember my favorite saying, folks: you can't polish a turd.

betty pisses me off so much because she's so ******* hot and acts like such a childish coont. she embodies everything i love about women and every reason i hate the concept of marriage and relationships in general. don was lucky to **** that one up.

campbell gets a pass because he's an ugly twat that is supposed to be a slimeball and he's damn good at playing the part.

Any idea if they'll show old Sterling Cooper at all (since Cosgove is still in the credits) or if that set's been demolished?

Also, every scene with Betty and Henry makes me cringe. Hell, any scene involving the children. I was also surprised they made Pryce into an integral character. There is barely any back story to him.

I would imagine the old Sterling Cooper does not exist. They were going to be rolled up into Mccann anyways and, especially without their top talent, I would imagine they they simply merged offices (or did the sale even go through after the stars left...maybe the whole place just dried up).

In the preview, it seems Cosgrove will be making a return in the next episode and appears to be prospering with Mountain Dew and Pepsi accounts. The scene suggests he'll meet up with Crane and possibly Campbell.

Unfortunate. I don't think his role was well developed and he was certainly one of the more bland season 1-3 supporting characters.

Due to the steak scene, Pryce is now my favorite character.

Anyone else feel like Season 4 has become the 1960s version of Entourage? Might be the new office.

Absolutely not. As slow as the first episodes have been, the writing for the show has never been better. The painting/cancer scene was incredibly well scripted.

Funny thing is, I've talked to a few female fans of the show, and they're not feeling it because Don's not being Don, draping anything that moves. Ladies like it, the chauvinism.

I felt awkward that Don was hitting on the college girl.

Definitely! They secretly love that traditional manly man, not today's girly man. That's why so many females love the show. As far as Don hitting on a college girl, again, he was being the traditional manly man!
