They need to start with changing that damn name!
"Good morning, Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Price"I'm glad Joans back in the mix, shes super hot and her character brings a lot to the show. Betty is such a fucking child, all she can think of is herself. Did she just leave her kids with the nanny for 6 weeks?!?! really? I hope Don hooks up with that teacher, shes one of the hottest chicks he's been with.
I just hope season 4 does a better job of picking up where season 3 left off. This show has failed to do that in my opinion.
Anyway, good stuff. Change is good.

When Draper gets off the phone with Betsy and walks back into the suite, overseeing his new "agency".. tell me that didn't get your fucking veins pumping, heh.

I though the season ender was awesome. I hope the next season follows up with as good as material as this one.

Totally loved that episode last night. Some great lines from front to back.
Sterling to Don "So you really want to be in Advertising after all?"
Really great ending and definitely sets up for an interesting 4th season. I was though a bit surprised at the Betty/divorce/taking up with that politician angle. It was just so quick. I really thought she was going to have some compassion for Don when he admitted all the stuff about his past.
Also gotta love that Ken Kosgrove wasn't even invited to the new agency. My guess is he will never be, and this will set up some bigger competition between Pete and Ken.
Also, have to assume that Sal will be back next season!
- but they still have the Lucky Strike account right? Hence no Sal..mtgentry

Well the thing with Sal is the Lucky Strike owners son got Sal fired remember? Lucky Strike is their main client now... soooooo... thats a tough one. I'm sure they will work it out but I'm just sayin its not gonna be as simple as "hey lets call sal"
Is it just me or is the "art" portion treated like the least important thing in this show? I mean its never talked about on the same level as the writers... I just don't see it that way, am I wrong on this?
- I agree on the art note.mg33
- It is less important.Mimio
- artists aren't writing the show :-)identity
- You're right. Well in the real world I think people value art over copy. :)sofakingbanned

luckily they will the have the hilton account.
Altho connie is a 'bit' crazy...- No they wont, They have the lucky strike account.sofakingbanned
- lucky strike & hiltonKiggen
- No Hiltons out remember? When roger asks don if they can get Hilton he says no.sofakingbanned
- Also in the beginning Connie made it very clear that he's moving on.sofakingbanned
- they will have hilton...Kiggen
- Probably. damn you're hard headed.sofakingbanned

I'm guessing with all the name issues, they will be on the first that will not have partner names 'the lobby' but will have a name like pentagram or something...
- mg330
I don't think the Hilton storyline is over. Maybe someone said it in this thread already, or a coworker said it to me, but Don is doing exactly what Hilton wanted him to do: start something of his own. Granted, it's with other people, but Don's taking the risk, and that's what Hilton wanted.
It's too good a storyline to totally abandon.
- he did say "maybe we can take another run at it" or something to that effectkinetic

Duck is gonna stick his huge head in Don's business at some point and fuck things up some more.

I totally didn't understand the peggy peptalk. It's so vague it could be about anything.
"People buy things, like you and me, and then something terrible happens, and the whole way they see themselves changes... You understand that, and that's very valuable."
or something to that effect. I have no idea.

"There was a man with... shiny shoes. I saw him dancing..."

The peggy talk.
Was he talking about the Kennedy thing? Remember when Marlyn Monroe died? Peggys first thought was "good thing we didn't run the Marlyn and Jackie ads or we'd have to pull them"
I think he's saying she understands what they're jobs really about... making people feel a certain way about the things they're buying.
When something bad happens people start to question life and who they are. Peggy knows when that moment has happened and its time to shift attention else where.Think Betty and Kennedy, she made a big change because of how Kennedy getting shot made her feel... I mean it was the trigger to something she was on the fence about.
Its just a thought... I'm thinking out loud. :)
- works for me. cheers!monNom
- i thought don was referring to bettys 'incident' with Pete. Comparing that to his own past... Not sure how he knows about Peggy+Pete..but both of them have a past that has changed the way they see themselves.inker

That episode was amazing I had to catch up on the last 4 episodes this weekend so really the whole last half was great, I love Don's character more and more.
just wanted to add that January Jones is on SNL this weekend, I am curious to watch.
- utopian0
I yawn for this series to end...
- svenreed0
damn just got done watching it...its probably the only thing i am addicted to on television these days. asides from its always sunny, but thats in another ballpark.
i fucking loved dons expression when he walked out of the "media room" after he called betty, a grin of promise and hope. i love betty, because of january jones haha, but her character is incredibly annoying. don played it real nice when he confronted her. can not wait for season four to pick up.
line that sums it up for me right now (in my life) - "when do you think we'll be back at a place like this?" roger. "i never thought id work at a place like this." don
so good
