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

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

YouTube is chocka with this stuff

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

go, Joan!

JOAN 💯💯💯

+1

thanks, LBJ and Nixon, for the EEOC.

are the McCann spawn the whitest white guys ever seen on this show?

man that got so real

I fucked up my dvr so I'll have to watch the repeat bc I missed 15 mins or so but this is a for the record books episode

xp yea def

seem more WASPy than provincial irish american tho (speaking as a provincial clannish irish american)

Draper back to his salesman roots.

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

this show is incredible

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

five men and ten women -- just handling data!

back when computers were secretary, data entry work

can't believe there haven't been more sterling-olsen scenes before now

Peggy has become the go-to character for animated gifs.

The rollerskating was cool, but I want one of her walking up the McCann hallway with sunglasses and a cigarette.

want a painting of that shit tbh or at least a big poster

don's stalktasticness is PEAK tho yikes

Kept expecting Joan to hear NOW GO HOME AND GET YOUR SHINE BOX

roger on the wurlitzer organ (I'm guessing) ftw

"would you drink vermouth?"
"yes I'm afraid I would."

I been there roger

Wonder what ppl at McCann think about all this. I guess they were probably consulted.

It seems kind of clear no one talks to anyone else about anything at McCann.

No I mean the real McCann -- what they think of the show.

the scene where Don realizes McCann does nothing innovative and their research is outsourced to some guy who does a summarized pseudo-scientific view of the pitches he used to do

real McCann is as divorced from 1970s McCann as 1970s real McCann is divorced from on-show portrayal
