MAD MEN on AMC - Seasons 7(a) & & 7(b)

Was unbleeped on my torrented copy, I went back and checked.

it was bleeped on AMC, unbleeped on my torrented copy as well. i thought that was odd.

It was masked on itunes.

Bleeped on AMC where I am.

Masked on iTunes :/

masked on my dvr

Most of this show just washes over me lately but those last two scenes were pretty gold

Don & Peggy dancing didnt feel like a capitulation to me. It was both of them admitting exactly who and where they are & taking comfort in that. ...they just get to be real with each other one more time, like that night in the diner whenever it was a couple of seasons ago.

The new wrinkle is that this time around Don seems much smaller, Peggy bigger.

To me, anyway.

Bonnie's f-bomb goes uncensored on the Google Play version of the episode

xpost yeah it's the first time they've been able to talk to each other as equals, more or less.

Peggy stopped trying to assert herself in order to ask Don for help, Don admits that his life is a mess and that he's feeling insecure about everything.

last few eps have been great, this season at its peak has been as good as it's ever been.

i like how they faded My Way just as Frank was about to go into last verse crescendo mode.

since when were Megan and Peggy so happy to see each other? i sorta forgot they got along so well.

Didn't realise My Way was new in 69! I would've pegged it as at least a decade earlier somehow.

Not quite as big a hit as I'd have thought: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_1969

So unusual for a male/female relationship (Don/Peggy) on TV to last this long without the show taking the easy way out.

Ron and Leslie on Parks & Rec is another really great platonic relationship.

It's not over yet.

Bob could still blow Don.

ha!

As much sex as Don has, he still seems fairly vanilla. He branched out a little bit with the neighbor lady last year, but he was probably less into than she was.

And he wasn't super into the idea of the threesome at Megan's place in Cali, but hey...hard to turn down if it's happening.

He's into being slapped

I don't see how a man like Don Draper could turn down Bob's request.

i'd take a bet on Don and Joan at this point; Don saying he has no-one, Joan saying she wants love. i mean..

Now that I think about it, he doesn't outright say "no" to much.

Joan and Don may have happened at one point, but I think after he was pretty flippant about cutting loose the client she had to sleep with to get her partnership, she's got zero time for anything Don in her life.

Right. Joan hates Don still and seems on the fast track to hating men in general.

actually yeah they've barely spoken since.

was that 'Sweet Charity' on the in-flight movie? it was a real blink-and-you-miss-it moment.

tasty

Given that title, something that should be but won't be part of that ep:

Ted Chaough's had a lousy season thus far.

xp maybe this is the big time-jump we've been waiting for:

i enjoy ted's misery tbh

If the point is that Ted somehow somewhere became a halfway decent person and is paying the price for it, sure.

i never really found him to be halfway decent

he's a real dick to Don at first

ted jumping in on the speaker phone was a+ comedy

No, I meant he used to be a grade-A asshole in the earlier seasons, but somewhere along the way during S6 he became only a B-minus dillweed.

he's slept with Peggy, he's married, he thinks he's better than all of them (because he doesn't drink or whatevs but he's not)

The evolution of Peggy disengaging from Ted to her kind of dismissively loathing him has been enjoyable

ted is sympathetic though. good casting

Yeah he just has a likable manner.

he projects intelligence in a good way. imo.

the screenshots tumblr has been real hit or miss as of late, but oh man this one:

I think it's Pete's facial expression that pushes it over.

Pete's weird insistence that he can have someone but Trudy can't because they're technically still married is some annoying bullshit, but his waiting at the house until she got back so he could act all jealous and smarmy put me back in the Pete-as-asshole camp

shit dude, can't you show a little confidence for more than a few episodes

haha

Don will never get w Joan, you think he's gonna get between Sterling and their love child? gtfo

xp

Wait, Don doesn't know does he? Joan and Roger keep a tight TIGHT lid on that shit.

idk, if anyone thought about it for more than a few minutes they might figure it out

shit, Bob probably has, he could drop it as he leaves

shit, Bob probably has, he could drop it as he leaves

he's the type who'd flush though
