Peggy Olson

Yeah.

The Peggy Olson kind of-

Mm

... arc.

Yeah, she's basically

the Peggy Olsen.

Yes.

Of Star

I'm rewatching right now.

When you said Peggy Olsen, I said her.

Oh, my God.

I didn't even use her real name.

Peggy Olsen, Elizabeth, whatever.

Yes.

I don't know.

No, because she does not fit what they're going for whatsoever.

I think that they want the CIA agent to be like, sorry, like Peggy Olsen.

Not Peggy

Olsen.

That's so, that's the best comparison.

Like, I can hear Peggy Olson pitching these wooden cork wedges, um-

[laughs]

... to a room full of people.

[laughs]

If we could move into the future and see like a Peggy Olson spinoff of her working in the-

[laughs]

...

All right, let's do Peg for 200.

The character of Peggy Olson in Mad Men is played-

Oh

... by which actor?

Product testing, yeah, something like that.

Which actually echoes Peggy's initial... um spark doesn't it when she's testing lipstick and she sort of thinks a bit laterally about how they will sell it and that's where that they pick up so um megan's character megan does does kind of introduce in that way so anyway don is seeing a character called Faye, who is a really capable, really, really competent psychologist.

And she's doing contracts for the agency.

And they seem to be a really good couple.

So they get married and she initially remains at Sterling Cooper, doesn't she? Or Sterling Cooper, Draper Price, I think it is at that point.

And she wants to be a copywriter.

So she's doing all the things that Peggy did as well, but is also in a relationship with him.

And then suddenly she remembers that actually before Don, she wanted to be an actress.

She's so funny.

Peggy is kind of the second star of this.

I think she gets probably the most...

But we have to talk more about Peggy in a minute.

We have to go into the depths of Peggy, don't we? Because that sounds a bit rude.

We have to go into the depths of the character and really dig around.

But yeah, so in terms of what I love about it, it looks beautiful as well.

So, you know, how do you think it captures that time of change?
