I think you are really misjudging Harry here. Even after being given the computer, he sold Cutler and Lou out to Don. He is a company man, and his company is Sterling Cooper.

Yeah, I really don't think Harry is evil. He's not evil, he's not incompetent. There's no great vice or great virtue in him. He really is just sorta there, and he can do the scutwork just as well as anyone else.
I just think he stays because it's a steady paycheck and, despite his constant bitching otherwise about how put-on he always is, it IS a fairly easy and respectable paycheck. And he fuckin' knows it. I don't think he stays out of any love for Don. I think he was trying to do the typical harry thing when he let it slip to Don about the cigarettes. He wasn't being a bro (well, Harry probably kinda thinks he was). He was just sucking up in that Harry way.
Harry has always wanted to be more important than he is. So given the choice between being a bro to Don, and getting a partner paycheck (and influence)... yeah, he'll sell Don right down the river. And he won't feel that bad about it because Don is Don, and Don will be just fine. It's Harry time!
That's what I mean by mercenary. Self-interested.
We'll probably see this Sunday! If not, then next year.
FUCK.

I think he stays because he carved out his niche and is irreplaceable within SC&P. But I also think they have done a pretty good job of showing how much he has contributed to the business, how forward thinking he has been, and how undervalued he has been by some of the old school guys. This guy was looking at product placement in media in 1960, he should be considered a visionary. He's already got the partnership, and Don helped him get it. Nah man, you're FUCKING WRONG MOTHERFUCKER
Or we'll see next year. God damn AMC for this split season shit.

This split season shit is fucking bad. I say all of the rest of you should boycott Walking Dead forever because of it.
There is 0 chance that Harry screws Don in a vote. Harry is like Don in his drive to be the best. He's not a "let's just get by" sort of guy. It baffles me that anyone would think he'd sell his soul so easily.

I've already been boycotting The Walking Dead for years because it's a shitty show.

I would happily boycott the walking dead, but does that mean that I would have to watch it?
I stopped when it showed the mayor with his wall of heads in a jar. Got a little too unintentionally futurama for me. I mean, they were being serious. I saw that and just laughed and said, "Welp".
Oddly, I didn't hate S2.

The heads in jars was a direct take from the comic series. I doubt it was inspired by futurama.

i watched s1 of walking dead and nothing since then, its hard as hell to avoid spoilers on the show since i kinda want to watch it... some day. I dunno even how people who wait until the end of the season to binge watch Game of Thrones avoid spoilers on that show, they are goddamn everywhere.
the worst is news articles on google news that fucking spoiler shit IN THE GODDAMN TITLE. "CAN YOU BELIEVE FAGGOT VAGINA TITS DIED LAST NIGHT? NEITHER CAN WE!" Then I have to immediately start singing Bon Jovi to forget what I just read.

The Walking Dead is the antithesis of Mad Men, it has awful actors, intelligence insulting characters, shitty directing and debilitating writing. It's so upsetting when some production team tries to makes a tv show "as genuine as it could be" and at the same time showing anyone headshotting 30 yards zombies with handguns like they're all marksmen, forcing unecessary dramatization between characters like some Hillbilly Macbeth and dumb logic "hey where in the woods near a big city, better make a fire camp and park our trailers up this hill". Or when they arrive near the CDC and they go through some military check point "better keep our shitty weapons than grabbing these M4 on the ground". At this point, you get that zombies are just a gimmick and it's all about who's gonna kill / get killed this week.
Don't. The show is objectively bad and I don't see how you can get any enjoyment out of it. The writing's terribleness is only eclipsed by the atrocious acting and delivery of already bad lines.

Walking Dead would be the easiest boycott ever. I watched the first 2 1/2 episodes because some guy at work raved about how it was the best show on television. It taught me not to take the entertainment opinions of someone who is self-described as being able to "watch flies fuck as long as it was on TV" seriously. I'd prefer the flies myself to the garbage that is WD.
