Personally, I don't like Joan, though I can see what others appreciate about her. She doesn't strike me as a very kind person. Peggy, for all her weirdness, has a good heart. I kind of admire Joan because she never wallows in self-pity, which has always been a weakness of mine. But I don't like her. And it really irritates me to see how nasty she STILL is to Peggy, who has been her superior for some time now. Joan would never make a nasty (and untrue) comment about a male copywriter's weight.

What did you guys think of the back to back commentaries on women in the workforce? First, we had Peggy strip down and cut that guy down to size. Then Peggy fired... Joey? who I really loved, but behaved unforgivably.

One thing I don't get is that I thought that that annoying new guy was Peggy's boss - didn't Don tell her as much? But they seem to speak to each other as equals. He has Salvatore's old job, right? I'm hoping this is one more step in getting the band back together.

I was sad to see Don's secretary go too, she was great for comic relief. Kind of a great WTF moment when she died, but yeah, I'll miss her.
