Mad Men

[Sir DangerM]

Another excellent episode.

[Matt Defis]

Ummm who is Bob Benson exactly? I'm a little confused after this episode.

[Sabreman]

I think the point is that nobody really knows. He's Don all over again. The Talented Mr. Benson?

[DeadRussian]

A fraud and a homosexual. Nothing major really, he just lied on his resumé. Basically, he's Don Draper 2.0 and Pete Campbell knows he can't outsmart these tricky liars, so he's teaming up with the professional fibber this time around. Not sure what the Spanish was about, but I'd wager he picked a bit up from hanging around Manolo*.

*Sexing up Manolo?

[Tofu]

Ummm who is Bob Benson exactly? I'm a little confused after this episode.

He's a scam artist alongside the caretaker apparently.

[Kodamarama]

It's all so damn intense, and soooo awkward.

[Majora]

This season has been so good. I was really worried after the first four episodes or so, but since then it's just been knocking it out of the park every week.

More than once, during the 6 season run, I've pondered whether the show has been going off the boil, and the answer has always been an emphatic no. I can't think of another drama that has maintained such gloriously high standards for such a long period of time.

[Comrade]

Full-on Glengasm.

EDIT: Now it just needs a Kinsey update.

[Sir DangerM]

Full-on Glengasm.

EDIT: Now it just needs a Kinsey update.

DON'T FORGET SALVATORE!

[Harsin]

Remember that poster they released before the season started.

Second Don should have been holding a cup of coffee.

[Girth Certificate]

Has Bob actually had any scenes with Don, I'm struggling to remember any interaction between them.

[Harsin]

Yeah, he schmoozed up to him in the elevator at the start of the series. Don wasn't impressed.

[Girth Certificate]

oh aye, I remember now

I loved the start of the episode and then how they spent about 20 minutes teasing phonecalls etc before revealing that

Ken wasn't actually dead

I'm sure I've said it before but Don is such a cunt

[Pete]

I hope this means Benson will kill Pete with an oar

[Majora]

Glen is such a shitty actor. The whole scene with the kids was awkward actually. Apart from Sally they were all pretty wooden.

[Tofu]

I like how Sally is becoming more like her mother, the scene when Glenn is punching the other kid and she's watching and enjoying it reminds me of Betty so much.

[Professor Puzzles]

Glen is such a shitty actor. The whole scene with the kids was awkward actually. Apart from Sally they were all pretty wooden.

It's a mystery how Marten Holden Weiner ever got cast in Matthew Weiner's TV show.

[DeadRussian]

Good to Pete/Chekhov's gun again. Way better than a chip 'n' dip.

[Sir DangerM]

I liked his secretary's comment about his gun only being good for killing squirrels. It seemed aimed at all the fans who were expecting him to go on a murder spree with it before.

[Sir DangerM]

So. What the fuck is going to happen now?

[Pete]

Well it was a low key end, but I loved the last shot. I think it will leave a lot of people unsatisfied though, particularly those who were expounding more dramatic turns of event.

[Sabreman]

Hmm... well Don's basically been fired, and I don't think we can understate the significance of Peggy sitting in his chair. 'Where next for Don' is more than enough to keep me keen until next year. I get what you mean though.

Loved Pete and his brother convincing themselves not to stump up any cash for the investigation. Pure Pete.

[DarthSquirrel]

Can they fire him though? Don't they have to buy out his share? I assumed the "indefinite suspension" was because they can't afford to stump up the cash right now and/or don't want to create a competitor?

[11 Herbs 'n' Spices]

Well it was a low key end, but I loved the last shot. I think it will leave a lot of people unsatisfied though, particularly those who were expounding more dramatic turns of event.

Really? I thought it was a stunning episode, my favourite this season.

[DeadRussian]

Ted and Pete spin-off series in LA.

Why's Pete going to LA again? I know he was supposed to move to Detroit, and Bob scuppered that, but what's he going to do out there? They only need Ted on Sunkist.

Anyway, I thought it was good. I guess Megan is leaving Don, so him and Pete are free to do what they want. Might the old foes join sides and start their own mental ad agency?

Draper, Campbell & Benson

[Sir DangerM]

Ted is a creative, Pete is accounts. They need both for Sunkist.

[Pete]

Really? I thought it was a stunning episode, my favourite this season.

Me too, I just thought others here would be disappointed that no one died.

[DeadRussian]

Ted is a creative, Pete is accounts. They need both for Sunkist.

Makes sense.

Does Bob LOVE Pete so much that he'd rid of Pete of one of his burdens? MANOLO, HIRED KILLER.

[Mentazm]

Loved

Peggy sitting in Don's chair.

[Kodamarama]

Pretty much in the opening titles silhouette position, no less.
