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

This seems like a good time to bring up the factoid that Jon Hamm was Ellie "Erin from The Office" Kemper's high school drama teacher. No pix tho.

Ha! Awesome!

goth xtina is my style icon.

A friend of mine in middle school was so in love with Vincent Kartheiser. Or as she called him, "Vinnie".

Kinda bummed me out when I found out recently that Jay Ferguson was the guy in Leonardo DiCaprio's Pussy Posse who harassed Elizabeth Berkley back in the 90s.

i just looked up the article on this--how disappointing and gross.

so stoked for the final ep of the year. this 2 mini-seasons thing has really worked!

lol i've seen that hendricks episode of undressed, it's pretty funny.

anyhow watching old generally awful burger chef commercials i came across this -

and my jaw dropped cuz i HAD THOSE POSTERS when i was a very small kid. i remembered the posters clearly and in my memory we got them from burger king but i think that's just cuz i knew we got the empire and jedi glasses from there. anyhow long story short: i apparently dragged my parents to burger chef a few times when i was very very young.

Another early Hendricks appearance:

You can guess what most of the comments are about.

90s hot

Bob Benson

It seems appropriate that he's going to Buick, as 'Bob Benson' sounds like the name of Midwestern dealer, as in "I got a great deal on this new Regal at Bob Benson Buick in St. Louis!"

well, here's our moon landing

"Every time an old man talks about Napoleon you know it's the end."

Robert Morse bringing back his How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying style. Loved this episode.

Loved that ending!

Lol, this show

easily in my Top 5 episodes.

aw that was lovely

The rhythm and pace of the episode = first-rate.

this was great at every level, from the funny or intimate little details (peggy with the neighbour's kid, harry being a chump) to the very sweeping narrative. i think the model for roger and harry's relationship is hermes and dr zoidberg.

it would be an amusing touch if after all of that charles manson foreshadowing megan just doesn't appear and is never mentioned again.

looks like "getting the gang back together again" has become "getting the gang back together again"

what did we think of Coop's soft shoe routine?

Soft sock routine!

I'll just let that be. Great ep.

Can someone explain the "pete is pregnant" line? It wasnt especially significant but idgi

Don got him pregnant.

Yeah he said it last week as well, didn't give it much thought but now curious

The client is Pete's baby, is kinda what I thought they meant? Bringing the client on board = delivering the baby. etc etc and he's kinda loopy with planning preparation so it's up to them to make the last minute decisions so that things go smoothly

Brilliant episode.

so are they all millionaires now? or just some of them. i missed the finer points of the deal in all the excitement.

odds on Neve Campbell coming back to hook up with Don?

i think so, yeah. joan was set to get something like $1.5m from her 5% share.

neve ain't coming back, i'd say she was there to demonstrate how don had grown but casting neve campbell qualifies it as a red herring i think. one of joan's many issues w/ don was that he cost her a million bucks by scuttling scdp going public (also threw away the months of work she had done on the offering cuz he had a whim), she still hasn't forgiven him but she's got her million dollars so she can deal. even cutler was able to get over it when there's that much money in play. lol at harry for fucking himself, he should've taken don's advice. i know ppl are sick of mad men dealing w/ history w/ 'ppl watching television' but i liked the moon landing, loved the excitement in the air beforehand, the families together, esp loved the cheer from another hotel room when it happened. loved the happy ending, hoping that doesn't mean we don't get one next year.

and this was when $1.5 million sure meant sometehing

yeah Mad Men going 'happy' is the best thing ever.

So we still have half of 1969 to go - what else happens besides the manson murders?

mets

and this was when $1.5 million sure meant sometehing

About $9.5 million in 2014 dollars.

my lai, altamont, woodstock, nattering nabobs

"Sugar Sugar" going to #1 in Billboard.

Looking forward to Megan insisting Don listen to "Her Majesty."

Seems like she'd make him listen to Tommy, or at least the debut effort of her new friends David, Stephen and Graham.

Cannot imagine what next year is going to be like. Don and Peggy are happy creatives. Rogers in charge. Everyone's rich. Sally's a young woman. How are we going to get 7 episodes of drama?

Even Cutlers happy.

Dramatic return of Sal.

who hooks up with Bob

the previous few episodes i had a sense that maybe bert wasn't long for this world, was there foreshadowing to that effect or was i doing nothing more than observing him being really quite old?
