The person, not the episode.
She was amazing to behold.
Sad, cause she seems so nice. But clueless about her complete inability to lead.
It was really stunning to listen to her in the boardroom, and the limo, preaching about how she had to stand by her convictions and not allow a militaristic campaign she didn't believe in.
Did she watch it? She did allow it. She delivered it.
The problem is she failed to fight for her convictions. Hard to understand how she doesn't see that.
It was sad to watch her so baffled, so divorced from reality.
Before they delivered the ads, I figured it would be awful, but I was picturing what would happen if the other teams' was worse. I was seeing Carolyn suggesting they break the rules and fire Elizabeth anyway--yes, her team won, but she was so comically inept as a leader, she should go anyway.
But then I saw the ad. It was scary. And lame.
But not nearly as lame as watching her poor team founder under her.

One other thing struck me, though. Kelly had his first bad day. I've been thinking for awhile that he's going to run away with this thing, but tonight he got a little too full of himself. He absolutely had to deliver the presentation, and the mere thought of anyone else being assigned was just beyond him.
Get over yourself. And he didn't even do a great job. Not a bad job, but nothing spectacular.
And he overlooked something crucial. If it was Andy's baby, he was the one who dreamed it up, the one in love with it, he's probably going to be the one to deliver it most passionately. His enthusiam is going to surge through. And it did.
Kelly better not make the mistake that that giant woman did. She could have won the whole thing, but she got carried away with her own power, wouldn't listen to anyone because she was too superior. And off she went.
