MAD MEN on AMC - Season 6

I've wondered about that before, but was really wondering last night when Ted crawled into bed with his wife.

ted and peggy looked pretty gross post-coitus. all sweaty with red mouths.

prbly made some smells

just two clowns, havin sex

lol

I was sure Ted's wife was going to smell the Chanel No. 5...they had made such a point about how much she smelled of it.

Why do the wives on this show never notice the smell of sex on their cheating husbands when they hop into bed with them after having JUST come from adulterous liaisons?

egg burrito iirc

just some product placement probably

I imagine the standard procedure is Don/whoever sneaks away from the scene of the crime and drowns their angst in booze for a few hours before heading home to the wife, the stench of liquor conveniently overpowering any sex smells.

Ted showered when he left Peggy's bed, remember?

"There’s no way to talk about this without being defensive. What would you do with the show? I don’t know. Where is your show? (laughs).. "

you tell em Matt!

omg thankyou JF for that gif

I've been trying to recall it all morning

Did the unaired episodes of Lonestar ever come out? Because I really want to see it now.

I don’t know how he knows Manolo.

haha wtf dude. that kind of kills any benefit of the doubt I was giving Weiner.

I guess I underestimate how much they just wing this stuff.

xp I am with waterface re. Sally. She seems to be adjusting well to her revelation, which has been a long time coming, that she can't depend on her parents and needs to figure shit out on her own. Very relatable portrait of a 14 year old.

haha wtf dude. that kind of kills any benefit of the doubt I was giving Weiner.

Weiner is kind of a liar though. A week ago he said "No one's going to die" in the finale. Unless Pete's mom is a great swimmer this wasn't true.

tvline: "The Season 6 finale of Mad Men on AMC, meanwhile, drew 2.7 million viewers — the show’s most-watched closer to date. (The Season 5 climax drew 2.6 million viewers)."

Yeah, maybe he meant it in the sense of "I'm not going to say" or "we as an audience don't know yet, wait and see."

idk, pete's mom is a secondary character -- when you say something like 'no-one's going to die', personally I'm really only thinking about the main cast.

i imagine leaving things indeterminate whenever possible is a good way to avoiding painting yourself into corners. and as the audience, we're in a "need to know" position as well i guess.

RIP Miss Blankenship

Joni Mitchell. Called it.

I dunno, I wasn't feeling this season at all to begin with, but I came around to it in the latter half; the super strange Twin Peaks-y episode was the one that really pulled me back in, I think. And I've pretty much enjoyed Don's season-long tailspin, in retrospect. The show has definitely felt askew this year, though.

Funny that people have been speculating whether or not the opening titles of a body falling from a skyscraper would actually happen in the show, when, in actual fact, it was the programme's LOGO that would be emulated.

Weiner doesn't know how Bob knows Manolo because it doesn't matter and no one cares.

Great finale, hit-and-miss season. Bizarrely paced.

The speed episode was pretty great. Ken's tapdance was the only one of those dumb "for your consideration" ads where I was happy to see the scene again.

i liked virtually all of the episodes this season.

it's weird how when nothing overtly crazy happens on the show people say it's it's boring then when shit actually happens people complain about it being like a "soap opera".

just proves that no one knows what the hell they want. which ironically is one of the major themes of the show!

I don't think the Peggy/show logo thing was all that special, not the first time they've done it either iirc

You say that now, but just wait til next season and it's a woman falling out the window in the new opening credits!

it's true i think that this is the first season with no episodes i didn't like. Season 2 has easily been the worst imo; i mean all those subplots about horses and priests oyyy.

The season of Colin Hanks: Folk Rock Priest.

"Nixon's the president, everything's back where Jesus wanted it"

Just saw this, finally. Fucking great season finale imho. All over the place, tying knots, surprises, what more could one want?

Also, hello awesome elevator scene:

Bob: "How are you?"
Pete: "NOT GREAT BOB!"

finale was great, I found pete's silent goodbye to daughter the most moving scene of the finale.
and this season wass great because it seemed like there was only one betty centric episode (beaty and the hippie squatters)
that we had to suffer through.

lol LBI. i agree with you, i thought this was great. it will be crushing, next season, when don finds out it is too late, and he has already missed his chance at redemption.

like, with his kids i mean, and in the ad industry. i am an atheist.

Smiley Bob reminds me of those Enzyte commercials

lol totally. when he let the mask slip, briefly, two episodes ago it was the best thing. "you should be careful what you say to people, pete."

nice.

Haha, Bob really reminds me of The Sidler from Seinfeld

The best episode of the worst season. Maybe second best, I enjoyed the amphetamines one a lot.

I will rank the seasons so far: 1>4>5>2>3>6

This is where I came from, Sally Draper, and if you don't straighten up you're going to end up back here.

Don's Bill Hicks moment was was fine.

maybe that is the finale: don looks in the mirror and realizes that he looks like bill hicks, and what we have been seeing is his idealized self-concept. he has to reconsider his ugly behavior with the new knowledge that he is also physically unremarkable.

that was the judy collins recording of from both sides now, wasn't it? I wouldn't know since I hate that song

yep
