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

yep

Draper looked more destroyed when the McCann guy told him to sit than when Megan and Betty left him.

loool so true

I love how being freshly-minted millionaires provided absolutely no solace for anybody

I liked Roger planting a drunken kiss on Don, "you are okay"

Last five minutes of Mad Men is gonna be Lou's "Scout's Honor" cartoon.

Would love it if they all jumped ship again to join Freddy Rumsen's fledgling startup.

Rumsen Phillips and Romano

I also liked the foursome drinking beer in the middle of the day after McCann guy gives them the rest of the day off.

A reddit thread places it in August 1970 - the calendar on the wall behind Trudy, genuine magazines on desks from that month.

xxxxp

Joan: "No one takes me seriously over there." Yeah we saw that recently, when she and Peggy met with the Three Stooges, who were about to start jacking off at the conference table, 'til one of the gals pulled out some distracting print, ooo, gotta study this, h'mmm, yas.
Mention of contracts (don't think they have all the merger loot yet), but maybe she could buy her own non-advertising business (something she may already know about, like a printing company, IT consultancy[lot of early IT consultants were female]). Can see her on the beach with her geezer, phoning in, to see how things are going. She left the business world behind briefly, when she got married, but that went so wrong, and it's been so long, don't think she'll try that again (although---was that a serious offer, to send her four-year-old away, to please the geezer?)

I liked Roger planting a drunken kiss on Don, "you are okay"

For some reason that made me immediately think "oh no, Roger is going to die!" It felt too much like a final farewell and there was all of this stuff before that about quitting smoking "you're a young man" etc.

although---was that a serious offer, to send her four-year-old away

Lock this thread forever and don't let another one be started if anyone else asks this.

I figured she did it to check his reaction.

I was drunk

I am the man who drinks at home

re: upthread: don has paid prostitutes for sex intentionally, remember the prostitute he hired repeatedly to slap him (etc) in the faye era?

last scene is homeless don draper clutching rotgut in a brown paper bag looking at the 1984 Ridley Scott Mac commercial through an electronics store window

Serious LOL!

Some of the music in this was odd, especially the Pete and Peggy scene.

As soon as they were all planning to turn things around it was obvious it wasn't going to work. Great episode.

yeah they were obviously setting up a reversal of "that scene" that seems to play out in every other season-ending arc (the one where they hatch and execute a brilliant plan under duress)

i like the idea that the ending of the show will just be all these folks absorbed into the anonymity of a huge ad agency.

I want a spinoff where Betty moves to Italy.

I want a spinoff where she becomes a psychologist.

ok now this is interesting IMO. vague but interesting.

All three women look gorgeous in that clip.

january jones irl is just sensationally beautiful.

so grim that elizabeth moss is a scientologist.

amusing that jon hamm says literally nothing in that entire video, until five seconds at the very end, he is the secret man who drinks at work.

so grim that elizabeth moss is a scientologist.

Oh fuck. I liked her until you said that.

i know - disgusting.

J Jones looks like she'd be the loopy one. I agree she looks stunning though.

totes can imagine a Cruise/Moss marriage in the not too distant ftr.

she is not a good token nor capable of being a cypher, especially after her commentary on last marriage

elisabeth moss was born into a prominent scientology family.

that doesn't exactly excuse her various apologies/evasions, but it gives it a little context i guess.

above all i just find it sad.

didn't january jones date keanu reeves yonks ago? that's how i first heard of her IIRC.

Maybe? I know she dated Ashton Kutcher for a couple years.

No one ever wishes Jane would come back. Poor Jane.

she was indirectly responsible for acid trip Roger, so I will forever love her time on the show

Yes, that's her legacy. That, and inspiring some of Roger's greatest lines ever: "Two weeks ago, she asked me, 'Which one's Mussolini?'"

Her scenes with Joan were good.

so many great bits you forget about

Has there been a 'fuck' in every episode of this season so far?

Draper back to his salesman roots.

My head is pounding at the thought of drinking straight vermouth all day.

It's the best paced episode this season to date.

five men and ten women -- just handling data!
