Imma have to watch S3 again.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 16 January 2012 20:42 (twelve years ago) link

^^ I don't think there has been a series before that I have loved but that I keep forgetting the plotlines of. Feel like I have to rewatch the whole series

I certainly wouldn't have, but hey. (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 16 January 2012 20:56 (twelve years ago) link

starting next week i am rewatching all four seasons with my housemate (who has never seen it). interesting times.

Slightly weirded out to realise that Pete and Peggy will only be in their early-to-mid-40s by the time the 80s kick in, conceivably still working in agencies with Reagan in the White House.

(And amoral dicks like Don Draper running the world by that point obviously)

Matt DC, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 16:05 (twelve years ago) link

that is perfect

S3 > S4 for sure, the workplace/home-life balance was way out of whack for a lot of the latter for me.

love the phone both!

can't wait for don to jump off that roof xD

am0n, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 19:38 (twelve years ago) link

nah it's gonna be Roger who jumps off the roof, still think Don has a chance to get right with the tao.

tinker tailor soldier sb (silby), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 20:44 (twelve years ago) link

We all obviously want Don Draper to die and the series to end, because we all hate it, and that's we post on this thread.

stfu.

i sent that pic to a coworker who is a fan of the show. his reply:

What a great picture!

I wonder what the significance of the whale shooting the mad man out of the water is about?

A fish out of water?? Maybe the culture change of the late 60’s is coming around…

LOL

s4 finally came back on On Demand, I had forgotten most of this

Full Frontal Newtity (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link

i finally bought s4 -- found it for dirt cheap at a blockbuster liquidation sale.

rewatching Season 4... Honda scooter episode is so perfect.

max buzzword (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 00:08 (twelve years ago) link

^^the shot of Peggy riding around the empty studio is one of my fave images from the show.

Mike Love Costume Jewelry (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 00:20 (twelve years ago) link

also her peeking over the partition at Don

max buzzword (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 00:29 (twelve years ago) link

I've also been rewatching S4 - the episode where Don goes down to California and no one has told Anna that she's dying is heartbreaking. And then you get Don and Laine going out and getting slaughtered as well. Genuinely don't understand why anyone thinks that series was a drop-off in quality.

Matt DC, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 10:13 (twelve years ago) link

yeah I am noticing lots of little things, foreshadowing/nuances. Like there's a bit in the episode where Pete finds out Trudy is pregnant and Laine's telling him he has to ditch his father-in-law's account - Laine is kind of a dick to Pete re: fatherhood and "manning up", as it were, which is laden with irony given Laine's relationship with his own father as revealed in a later episode.

max buzzword (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 16:34 (twelve years ago) link

oh man, "the cure for the common ____" episode

max buzzword (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 16 February 2012 17:37 (twelve years ago) link

two weeks pass...

So we're 3 whole weeks away from the premiere and somebody hacked Christina Hendricks' phone and thrown out some NSFW images onto the internets...

(find them yrselves)

Mike Love Costume Jewelry on Etsy (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 5 March 2012 03:31 (twelve years ago) link

They weren't really that scandalous.

Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Monday, 5 March 2012 03:33 (twelve years ago) link

pix more adorbs than scandalous imo

tho obviously is terrible that (most likely) someone violated her trust

Nicholas Pokémon (silby), Monday, 5 March 2012 03:34 (twelve years ago) link

great, now we gotta NSFW this thread.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 5 March 2012 04:40 (twelve years ago) link

^^forks that counts as a request for title change

her body is incredible!

homosexual II, Monday, 5 March 2012 05:48 (twelve years ago) link

I'd believe her statements that the only picture "leaked" that actually shows nudity is not her

I was not at all expecting that first link to be a picture like that and I'm in shock now

valleys of your mind (mh), Thursday, 8 March 2012 14:01 (twelve years ago) link

She's cheery, funny and sincere-any girl would long to be her BFF (and ask if she's down for trading outfits).

*barf*

mizzell, Thursday, 8 March 2012 14:22 (twelve years ago) link

and just wait until she starts telling you about her friend xenu...
