MAD MEN on AMC - Season 6

You missed a scene

you were drunk

rewatch :)

There Is a version out there with seven minutes missing I heard.

yeah there is, had the same issue as did some friends (wives)

Oh okay. That may make sense. I could try and get to watch it on Sky tomorrow when it shows properly for the first time in the UK. It's the first time I've had anything like this issue.

Cheers (wives)

yeah the first scene release was missing the last few scenes, look for links that say "proper" at the end

mad men not having don sleeping with someone's wife is a serious breach of the supply of goods and services act

the doc is skiing outdoors while don is sexing er indoors

sliding down those OTHER slopes

sorry

I like how Roger said "where's Skeezix?" which is a weird little affectionate nickname type deal that I've never heard anyone other than my dad say.

where's skrillex

Skeezix is from the comic strip Gasoline Alley

^^^

I totally lol'd at this, such a bizarre throwaway joke that 90% of the audience won't get

Skeezix is from the comic strip Gasoline Alley

Also a character in the Uncle Wiggily stories:

I'm not suggesting that was the actual reference; I don't remember Roger saying it.

Probably the same as these:

Roger says it to his daughter but I'm not sure who he's referring to (her husband Brooks? her new stepdad?)

Her son

boy print ads sure used a lot of words then

here let me tell you for a really long time about this oven cleaner zzzz

wait Sterling is a grandfather? I forgot that somewhere along the line evidently

Wow y'all thanks for the tip, i had always wondered where he got that.

I don't think they ever addressed his daughter having a kid before. I mean, when was the last time she was onscreen? S3 or something?

anyone get a Lindsay Lohan vibe off her?

Yes, I did!

Just saw this. Awesome. I suppose it was a bit sloppy, but I'm not bothered by that.

Roger was killing it this episode. Seeing a shrink seems so perfectly normal for him I wonder now why he didn't see one in the previous seasons. He'd pay anyone to listen to his stories all day, it's perfect Roger self-indulgence and narcisism. He's probably just trying it for the sake of it, because he doesn't have a single clue when it comes to emotions and feelings (as he admitted freely).

I do agree with whoever up here said that by now, there seems little reason for Betty to be in the series at all. She's not 'connected' to Don anymore. She doesn't hold a big secret hanging over his head, they barely interact. I find it difficult to engage in her story line by now, when it mostly, and only, about Sally anyway (who was awesome).

Don: I loved how vulnerable he was this episode. He really was caught off guard when everyone clearly saw his add referenced death and suicide, he did *not* see that coming. And knows that Pete and the others did see this sudden flaw or weakness in him. Just like they had to drag him home after the funeral. I've not seen him so vulnerable. And we can leave it to Pete to exploit that, I think.

Tl;dr: great episode.

great episode. don's pitch was next level hilarious, loved seeing stan stifling laughter.

i really am fond of ennui-Don. he feels more Draper walking around in a daze pondering the big questions in life & blowing off the world, lol

yeah, it's funny that w/ the end of last season some ppl (just dudes dudes i guess) going 'yeah, we're finally gonna get the old don back!' and it should be clear to everyone we're not getting the old don back, we're just getting old don. loved pete not even bothering to humor don's 'cancel the meeting'. loved the hair also though w/ the short gap between seasons wonder if there was a week where first ginsberg comes in w/ the stache, then stan grows the beard, then slowly all of sales grow sideburns, until one day harry comes in w/ that hair and everyone in the office dies laughing.

The funny thing abut Harry was that back in the early SCDP days, he was the first to stop slicking his hair and he had a shaggy natural thing going for a while.

so weird to remember that in season one he's the nice decent guy at the office. also, probably way too specific and obscure for a general audience but the next time jon hamm hosts snl those ridiculously vague and meaningless 'next week on mad men' spots would be a good thing to parody.

yeah i love how Harry's now the default office pervert. And the way he barged up the stairs during Joan's photo shoot :)

Pete's receding hairline with the 'burns is such an A+ look. A lot of my friends are complaining that they don't like the look this season, idk I think they find it all tacky or whatever but I am FEELING it

I hope we get to see Pete get punched in the face sometime soon.

That seems like such an odd thing to gripe about, it's accurate to the period! We're out of the stylish part of the sixties and into the ugly earth tones Brady Bunch part of the sixties.

also, this ep was @ christmas, so extra garish against that backdrop

re Don's preoccupation with dying etc - how much time has passed since Lane's death?

One season.

One episode, actually.

(Y)

loved the hair also though w/ the short gap between seasons wonder if there was a week where first ginsberg comes in w/ the stache, then stan grows the beard, then slowly all of sales grow sideburns, until one day harry comes in w/ that hair and everyone in the office dies laughing.

Terry Valentine: Did you ever dream about a place you never really recall being to before? A place that maybe only exists in your imagination? Some place far away, half remembered when you wake up. When you were there, though, you knew the language. You knew your way around. *That* was the sixties.
(pause)
Terry Valentine: No. It wasn't that either. It was just '66 and early '67. That's all there was.

I feel Betty may have a redemptive arc this season. I actually quite liked her in the episode, she appears to have started treating Sally with some degree of respect.

Brunette = not evil anymore.

She looked so much like Henry's mother with her hair dark.

By the way, my housemate who's never seen it before watched the first half hour with me and thought it was the most boring show ever. I was hard pressed to explain to him why it's not (I didn't find the episode boring in the slightest).

i think it's pretty invested in subtle nuances of character that only really seem meaningful after you've spent a lot of time with them. i feel like i'd be content to watch these characters do all kind of normally banal things.

Well yeah, I often am.

enough with fucking fat betty already unless the actress is gonna gain the weight; that prosthetic chin is ridic

Yeah, Betty is becoming her mother-in-law.

I feel like part of the time bump between seasons has been to take advantage of the cyclical nature of style trends re: men's suits, hairstyles, etc. Not that some things ever change, but with the exception of some of the garish formalwear, Don's creative team wouldn't look that out of place if I saw them at the bar.
