Mad Men on AMC • Fifth Season Thread

lol

lord custos tribute thread

man practically every one of Pauline's lines in this episode was amazing. "you can watch the sunset from your bedroom window. It's the saddest sight in the world" etc.

^ yeah, that one especially

i feel like they introduced her as a major character b/c let's face it betty herself is boring

<i>"new home the day after she finds out he's married is kinda hella unlikely?"</i>
Still very possible in the days before FB and Google via phonebooks and tricking the secretary into divulging that information. But yeah, there is no doubt it was a dream.

But she could have been that desperate and found what she was looking for, finally. Remember Beat girl planting herself in his lobby? Still, I have no doubt it was dream.

Could almost be a song.

but stiiiilllll
i have
.....
NO DOUBT
it was a dreeeeeeam

Speck, performing oral sex on another inmate,[39][40] sharing a huge pile of cocaine with an inmate, parading in silk panties, sporting female-like breasts (allegedly grown using smuggled hormone treatments), and boasting, "If they only knew how much fun I was having, they'd turn me loose."

what level of fuckery this is?

high fuckery

it made me miss the slick rick gig.

lots of talk that he was basically forced to do all that and to take the hormones.

either way a pretty shitty dude so i'm not cryin or nuthin

Saw Michael Gladis last night at the Radiohead concert in Santa Barbara.

Sally Draper is on Jimmy Fallon's show tonight. woo!

She's not at Dakota Fanning levels of freakish maturity for someone young, but she's on top of things for sure.

pete is so entertaining.

lol @ don hating the suburbs

These sportcoats are killing me. Make it stop.

i know right!

i like how cosgrove is completely under the radar and then you realize he's probably the most interesting person who works there

also cracked up by all the cliché stuff from pete/trudy about how wonderful it is to live in the suburbs

oh my god this show XD

"i know cooler heads should prevail, but am i the only one who wants to see this?"

ILU Lane.

Pete and the prostitute had me rolling...

blah blah blah.
No.
blah blah blah.
No.
You are my king.
Yes.

"Hard day at the office"

No

"It's my first time and I'm really scared"

No

etc

i feel mad men is catering to audience desires much more than before (joan divorcing mcrapey, pete getting his ass kicked). but it's been really enjoyable to watch all the same.

lol at Pete getting whooped and lol at Lane being a Mets fan.

here comes success

no!

There we go

wow, that was fast. great episode, too. agree that they're swinging a bit towards fanservice, but i don't mind. pete's been asking for that for a while. also, get bent OTM.

hamm's reactions to the fight were killing me.

These sportcoats are killing me. Make it stop.

god yeah, don's jacket at the party. hoped that he, at least, might be spared the indignity.

he got laid w/e

starting to hate don's "love has made me new man" schtick, though noose doodles are promising

I kind of dig it, at least as its presented to people on the outside.

I also like his newfound sense of openness, as in telling the madame that he grew up in a whorehouse. It's all gonna go wrong, I'll bet.

the "things feel like they're speeding up" dialogue between pete and the high school girl has got to be the worst passage in this show yet.

all of her little soliloquoy was cringeworthy actually

i covet pete's giant stereo system though, damn.

good episode. lots of weird hard cuts between scenes and odd graphic matches and stuff.

More ammo tonight for whoever it was that thought Pete will be the falling man.

?? people really take it that literally ??

I thought it was in this thread! Then where was I reading someone's conspiracy theory about Pete jumping out a window?

"good episode. lots of weird hard cuts between scenes and odd graphic matches and stuff."

there was a cut from someone leaving a door in the office to someone else opening another door in the office which was obviously intentional but also confused my brain for a split second

I was a bit overwhelmed by all the match cuts. Think Slattery had too much fun directing.

But otherwise yeah great ep omg.

there was a cut from someone leaving a door in the office to someone else opening another door in the office which was obviously intentional but also confused my brain for a split second

yeah, this annoyed me. too self-consciously clever for the fact that it just didn't work, plus meaningless.

totally. we need less of those and more star wipes.

12 hours and still no one has popped in to grumble about Cosgrove's story at the end? ilx losing it's edge!
