he's not a nice guy

well he started off as one but the thing is that core of a nice guy is shrinking rapidly with every season and now he's becoming more and more this empty douchebag, but in the first season or two he was a "nice guy" but in the way we talk about those creepy indie rock nice guys who end up being assholes. seems to me he wasn't exactly a natural asshole, he has decided to become one.

Shakey's rabidly anti-Harry stance still bemuses and delights me

it's true, I want to see him run over by a bus full of hippies or something

just recalling that Wire-style montage at the end of Season 5; that was great. actually i wonder if it's fair to say The Wire 'invented' that particular style of montage at the end of seasons of TV, sorta feels like they did.

"Butchie's Tune" is an old favorite that I didn't realize anyone else cared about, it put that episode over the top for me, totally devastating.

I go back and forth on Harry. He's been rotten at times, other times an okay guy just trying to do his job.
I was playing "Butchie's Tune" in class, found the whole scene posted.

Glen really deserves a spin-off show. Once an episode at a key moment, he'll turn to the camera, smile, and deliver his beloved "See? It all turns to crap" catchphrase.

ugh I hate that recap montage style - surely other cop shows did that before the Wire?

"Butchie's Tune" previous fit of exposure

Antonioni had some English session guys do these two Spoonful covers.

Didn't Sopranos do a similar style of montage at the beginning/end of a coupla seasons?

I saw a post from 15 years ago saying I loved potlucks. I fucking hate potlucks.

so, is it me or does this show skip almost the entirety of 1967?
Season 5 ends a few months after Christmas 1966 - Lane forges the check around Xmas and then a couple episodes later he's dead. The last episode seems to take place in maybe spring of '67?
And then when season 6 starts I think we're already in 1968?

Yeah. IIRC, they completely skip over the Summer of Love. Cagey.

The way the finale drew Don into real-life events, they could have started that in 1967: Don goes back to see Anna's niece, she drags him to Monterey, clip of Janis Joplin singing "Ball and Chain," and instead of a stunned Mama Cass, you instead cut to a stunned Don Draper.

...and then he hooks up with her.

Won't try to open this whole thread to see if there's a similar post, but beautiful images near the end of "Tea Leaves" where the kids chase fireflies on the front lawn.
