MAD MEN on AMC - Season 6

wow from all the "spoilers" i thought something actually interesting was going to happen in that last episode

It was a fucking great Roger Sterling episode to be fair.

That's to be expected anytime John Slattery directs.

Kudos to Slattery that he didn't flinch from including a scene where he got punched in the balls xp

i thought someone was going to be sliced up, so roger's excellent showing at the party didn't really match my expectations

so if Megan is dead, all that hoo-ha with her on the couch with her co-star is.. what? if there'd been no scenes OF Megan these last few eps then i'd be all for this theory but..

Megan is the horse.

i buy the idea that he dreamed his fling with Betty especially as Bets was back to being thin again and.. i dunno maybe she's *really* still fat. or something.

Wasn’t all that stuff on the couch the week before? If I’m understanding the theories correctly Megan is supposed to have died at some point after last weeks episode. Anyway, not buying it.

Love how Weiner has basically just made the world recreate "Paul is dead."

The idea is she died while he was on the trip. Fwiw I think he came back to the office w his suitcase, told dawn to get Megan on the phone then the episode ended.

hmm. inconclusive.

Wiener says its a coincidence. Pretty conclusive to me.

Don wracked with guilt over Korea?

This Ted Cheough nat guard hookup better actually work out

I knew this guy was a homo.

He made a bad call on Pete though.

wow, this show

"She was depressed"

Foolproof excuse

First time Don's ever been busted mid coitus, right?

I didn't know what Bob Benson was up to this whole season, and to find out he's just got a boner for Pete Campbell is a total drag.

Stan's awesome streak continues, btw.

i think bob has more in mind than just getting closer to pete campbell. i think that was phase 1 in a longer plan...right? pete isn't the most handsome guy.

hey everybody BOB IS GAY

was this the first episode of the season without a hallucination sequence? felt like it

i love pete/ted/peggy drinking together

yup, gaydy mcgaysalot, there's your other shoe dropping and boy it's not an especially interesting choice at all

i think he is gay but that he is trying to get close to pete for some reason other than being attracted to him. it's a long con of some sort. how could he love that hair?

aren't they suggesting that pete might be gay? the bigoted comments he made to bob struck me as unusual for him.

a+ to the writers on the character of sally's frenemy, she was perfect

I'm kind of concerned that something awful is going to happen w/r/t ted and always flying on small planes.

interesting. i don't know if pete being gay is an interesting direction to take the character or not. i hope ted lives bc he seems like an ok dude. the main thing i took away from this episode is "poor sally"

Roger can juggle, Ken tapdances...who else in that office has hidden Vaudevillian talents?

don can go weeks at a time without smiling. they used to have circus performers who would do that, kind of like a variation on hunger artists.

just can't stop fuckin' tho

what happened to peggy's boyfriend?

He broke up with her in the ambulance after she stabbed him.

ted has been a real breath of fresh air this season, he manages to be compelling and likable even though he spends 75% of his screentime yelling and complaining. loved the ginger rogers line.

bob benson reveal felt hackneyed, even though i can recognize they put in the effort to make it plausible in previous episodes. kinda feel like pete having a gay fling would too soap-y for the show, but at the same time i wouldn't mind seeing it? loved pete and peggy drunk and reminiscing about old times, although while the scene was playing out i was nervous that one of them would make a misstep and it would get weird and uncomfortable again.

next week: pete's rifle is still around, being portentous.

pete likes whorehouses, i don't think he's gay.

drunk Pete was likeable! Anything is possible.

Sally loses her innocence walking in on Roger then loses it some more walking in on Don, not looking forward to her encounter with Burt.

But but but...Bert doesn't have testicles!

looking fwd to cat lady spinster peggy spinoff

Maybe gay pete will be this awesome, likeable guy

It's what gay means iirc

So Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere and the Raiders lived with Terry Melcher in the house where the Tate murders took place.

They're just having fun with this.

wtf @ Moshe Dayan poster

loved this episode, felt like every scene had something interesting to it

i liked the episode but was kinda disappointed in a few things. Silly conspiracy wise the fact that Megan didn't die and Bob's just a homosexual feels like a letdown. Explains why Bob and Joan didn't work out though. And going back the affair feels like a step backwards, like I thought we were done with that. Although it served a good purpose obviously if it brings us back to his relationship to Sally.

What I did love is Ted. He's become the most interesting character for me. His problems, other than the flirting with Peggy, are like real work work/family issues. And I love the way he talks down Don even while still being intimidated by him. That thing about "I assume you don't have many friends"

Ted rules, he's a fucking animal

eh after a half dozen episodes Ted feels like the guy whom I'm still getting acquainted with; I have to remind myself who he is.
