MAD MEN on AMC - Season 6

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.

He's one of the partners.

He made out with Peggy once.

He wants to be Don.

Maybe you should stop updating your blog while you watch MM and concentrate on MM so you know who everyone is.

It's not that hard, Cupcake.

Maybe you should step on a rake.

how'd you learn to use the internet like that! From a blog?

I thought this guy was permabanned

At least I know who Ted is.

Ted's wife knows what's up

^^worst post-episode thread updates all season

Matt Zoller Seitz.

the Pete / Bob scene was very confusing. if the reveal was just supposed to be "Bob is gay and likes Pete" they sre did it in an odd way.
