Mad Men

[Hoodedclaw]

so only a couple more EP's left , is that a season break or the end ?

[pledge]

Split season

[Pete]

excellent episode that one, getting into it's stride again now.

And Don really looks like he belongs in another era doesn't he?

[Mr Cochese]

I loved how crestfallen Megan looked when Don returned to his true mistress. Don will always be in another place from her.

[Lag]

yep, she can't persuade the man to stay can she? Throws a threesome at him and he's off the next morning.

[Pob]

I lolled at the 2001 reference, going as far as pausing the show to explain it to my wife.

[Mr Cochese]

Haha, yes. That was fantastic, and completely unexpected.

[K]

I haven't seen the new episode, but Don's drunk acting in the last one was truly amazing. He looked properly, authentically, battered.

I must be going senile, I was left a bit confused by this week’s episode. I felt like I missed one out – I thought last time we saw Don and Megan together, they were screaming at each other, and their relationship was pretty much over? And yet in this one they were pretty much back to normal.

Also,

I didn’t really follow the scene at the end. I’ve forgotten what past event Jim and Lew were referring to with Don. Also, why does them winning that account mean that Don has to leave the agency?

What an idiot I am.

I thought the same thing. I even had to check my downloads to make sure I hadn't skipped an episode. Pretty odd.

Is the second half of the season on next year?

[JohnC]

Yep, next year.

[Harsin]

The after-credits scene following the last episode is going to be Cutler and Lou vigorously bumming in the computer room, proving Ginsberg was right.

[Meh]

Best show.

And I completely thought I'd missed some tits in it, as seen below this post.

[Meh]

Dat bedroom scene .... dat nipple ...

What an episode!!

There was nipple?

Oh...

[Pete]

also didn't understand why megan and don were not mentioning their break up, anyone?

[Meh]

I guess it just didn't matter, and people were left to just see their get-together as just a meaningless thing.

They don't have to lack the desire to fuck each other, just because the rest of their relationship no longer works.

[Sabreman]

They're always having spats that amount to nothing though, even at the end of that particular episode you got the feeling it wasn't serious.

[Mentazm]

They still love each other, but Don isn't 100% behind her career, and won't move from New York.

[Sabreman]

Another excellent episode. The show is on fire at the moment, so much history and weight coming to every scene. I'm savouring these performances.

[Mr Cochese]

It's "curtains" for Megan, hoho.

[Kodamarama]

Draper-Olson-Campbell ftw!

[Sabreman]

Pete's so goddamn happy it's kind of wonderful. Even a shitty weekend in NY didn't dampen his spirits.

[Goldaline]

Wow, i thought that was the best episode of this series (so far) by a mile i thought. It felt like pretty much everyone was where they should be by the end.

So happy to see Don & Peggy "back together"; i think some of the show's best scenes (including this last episode) have been their interactions, and despite being platonic, their relationship has so often seemed like the most important in either of their lives, at least since Anna's death.

Is Draper-Olsen-Campbell on the cards?

[Mentazm]

Anyone else noticed Don's paunch in this down-at-heel series? Makes me feel a bit better about my own physique. Also noticed how he hasn't even mentioned Ginsberg.

[And]

I think I'm in love with Stan.

[Mentazm]

I was like Bob, you used to be cool, then you say that to Joan. What happened?

[Harsin]

Getting a part in another series and having a glorified cameo to write his character out is to blame for that I think.

[K]

It’s taken them a while, but they seem to be working their way towards giving Jim Cutler an actual purpose in the show, rather than just having him as the parallel universe version of Roger Sterling.
