So Freddy drank too much, pees himself in the office in front of a few people, and everyone makes a big deal, including Roger, who not long before drank so much he projectile vomited on about ten men in the office... What's the deal?
The thing I always liked about Freddy is that... when you look at photos of ad men.... ACTUAL AD MEN from this era... they mostly look like Freddy... they're adults... average-looking adults...
Don't get me wrong, I love the characters on this show but many are far too young to be professional ad men... Sometimes it's more like, Mad Boys... (Of course Don is the right age, and he's a deliberate Rock Star Ad Man so his perfect looks fit)...
Herein, Don's best moment was telling his secretary, who is crying about Marilyn Monroe's death, if she wants to go home... That was great... He should have sent ALL those girls home... Roger had some great things to say about how Marilyn had everything... She really did have everything...
But the best scenes take place in the underground gambling hole, and after: the same night. Roger really is, truly is, the best character on the series. He's just perfect... Always so wise and funny...
It's weird when you think, John Flattery has been around since the 1980's and it took this long for him to become famous. But it just goes to show you... the perfect role needs the perfect actor or actress, or it's no longer perfect...
So far it's one of the best episodes, of both seasons.
