> [@Tim\_R.Mortiss](#): > > Roger all the way. Gotta love a smart-ass. Same here! I have to wonder though: what exactly is it about the smartass that we love? Let’s face it, if Mad Men were real and we here on the SDMB had to work under Roger, we’d certainly laugh at his remarks when others were on the receiving end of the abuse, but we probably wouldn’t think he was all that funny if he were directing it at any one of ourselves. ---

I always enjoy Roger. I even like him when he’s selling Lincolns for Ford in the real world. Lots of class, wit, and he knows how to carry himself. Of course that Joan…what I would do… ---

As a straight woman, there is no one on earth hotter than Christina Hendricks/Joan Holloway. She is so charismatic and fabulous when she’s on the screen I can’t see anyone else. I have thought Don Draper was an unrealistic character for a long time (I think it started with not showing up with Sally’s cake), but not seducing Joan is his most unbelievable act. Joan really is most interesting to me, her character has the most change and growth, and that growth is believable (I even believe sleeping with the client). I really want to know what will become of her but it’s not a forgone conclusion. Peggy bores me. ---

I always inject “And a copy of _Sterling’s Gold_ in every glove box…” when I see those.
