re: wild 60s fashion, I think you guys are wildly underestimating American public's willingness to embrace crazy fashion shit. after all, we did it once before, and if any show could re-kickstart hideous late 60s clothing trends it would be Mad Men.
i was right in that they gave megan the cool late 60s getup, while stan gets the questionable leisurewear

It's funny, I thought the "And they call us savages!" line at the beginning of the episode was really corny but it turns out it was a real line from an nytimes story on the incident.

I hope that Peggy's friend (Mamet's daughter) comes back but she probably won't as she's in that Lena Dunham HBO series.

o man, such a gross word. read a couple sci-fi novels by michael swanwick a few years back, and he's just in love with describing his female characters as "presenting". blargh.

but there's definitely a "joan is old fashioned" message re. joan's pink dress. she's still wearing clothes from 3 years previous. she's stuck. everyone else has moved on but she's going to hang on to her style probably for another 15 years or however long she can buy those dresses for.

agreed with jed. They're still showing off the cleavage but she's wearing more (manufactured) bulk in her midsection and butt and i don't think that's going anywhere. joan's gonna lose some of that sex appeal as the seventies begin methinks

mmmmmmi dunno. i think having joan come into her own outside of sexbomb status could be a more interesting plotline

(manufactured) bulk in her midsection
that belly was so obviously cushiony that I can't believe they're having her keep it all year

can I make an embarrassing admission: I was transfixed by the way her decolletage rose UP and DOWN with her sobbing in that dress. I was hypnotized.

well I guess not embarrassing but whatever
I'm only just past the zoobeezoo scene, but ffs, it's 2012: can't directors and editors come to an agreement that when the drummer is playing the hi-hat, that's what we should hear on the soundtrack, and not the ride cymbal? I will give them credit for getting the equipment right, though

And don't get me started on the fact that the drummer was playing bongos, and yet a full drum kit was also audible. What, are we to believe this was some sort of...(snort)...magic drummer? I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
Seriously, I do.

I really enjoyed this, the whole thing was really funny, especially anything involving Harry or Roger. Happy that Bert Cooper's still around as well.
I wonder if the new black secretary, whoever it is, is going to be a significant character? I kinda hope so.
Theme of the ep seems to be that happy Don isn't as good at his job, wonder how that's going to play out?
Also have they ever even hinted about Joan having a bit of a thing for Don before? She seemed really pissy around Megan, but it seems like a weird direction for her character to go at this stage. Loved the scene with Laine and Joan thought - there are so many pairings in this show with great chemistry at this stage.
I didn't really care that not much happened, was great to just re-familiarise with the characters and enjoy the lols.

Although apparently no one told the scriptwriters that British people don't call the autumn "the fall".
i think joan was just mad that megan's already working as a copywriter
― just sayin, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 10:02 (twelve years ago) link
yeah don & joan is maybe the subtlest relationship in the show, always gets overlooked behind don/peggy. i think it's like a real "we are both in control" similar sense of pride mutual respect that they don't even really think about but if they did they'd realise they don't have for anyone else at all? from joan's side it verges on idk almost motherly sometimes but not romantic i don't think; would be lame if the show even hinted at toying with it
dr rape was the don cut-out she thought she was getting (/deserved) obv
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 10:28 (twelve years ago) link
haha idk about anyone else but mainly i found it a refresher course in how stressful watching mad men is. "enjoy the lols" never crossed my mind
kind of summed up by how pete has never been more right despite his weaseliness, don & roger never worse
as ever, interesting the redemptive role the success of the business plays
