Lisanti’s Mad Men Power Rankings
2. Peggy (up) Last week: 3
“I’m Peggy Olson, and I want to smoke some marijuana!”
“I am so high!”
“I’m in a very good place right now!”
“I am not scared of any of this. But you’re scared, aren’t you? Don’t worry, I’m going to do everything you want for me. I’m going to be fine, Olive. I really am.” [Ed.note—At this point our transcription skills may have faltered somewhat, due to the “Get totally high with Peggy Olson” game we were playing. Cheeto-slicked fingertips are less than optimal for transcribing.] Peggy Olson totally tokes weed! Between last week’s Trojanless jaunt to Fellatio Falls with the dumdum from the bar, and last night’s chemical experimentation, the 60s are happening all over her. She’s sexually liberated, she’s smoking the drugs with the boys, she’s taking charge of the creative for the Bacardi account while high out of her effing mind. If Don goes another week without getting his ennui-stick wet, Peggy will threaten to wrest the top spot from his complacent grasp.More here
