it was a really good episode compared to other eps, and I liked it somewhat, and thought there were brilliant parts with brilliant bits of acting, but a lot of the episode, perhaps more than others, I don't know at this point because I haven't seen the show in a while, was don yelling at peggy for work related reasons, and when I was watching it, I guess, because I was removed from the mad men world, I couldn't help but think that I was glad I wasn't exposed to its world as much

i saw a little girl out to dinner with her family at a mexican restaurant last week that was a dead-ringer for sally. it was so uncanny i almost said something to the parents but i told myself to forget it and finish my nachos.

yeah nachos was probably the better move
FYI I recommend that everyone into this show watch the movie version of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" with Robert Morse

Yeah, the parallels are pretty funny. Morse is great in The Loved One too. Mad Men also reminds me of The Sweet Smell of Success.

I loved it when Mad Men referenced The Apartment (season and episode escapes me). In season four Roger is on the phone speaking to a Louise about a Larry...the Tate's no doubt, finally acknowledging the comparison's to Bewitched.

The Apartment ref was in the first season, near the end I think. Joan was chewing Roger out about using women and told him he should see the movie and change his tune.

...and to complete the circle, David White played both Mr. Tate on "Bewitched" and Mr. Eichelberger in The Apartment.

But to any newbies: When I started watching I thought it was merely interesting until about halfway through the first season, then I realised I love it. Persevere, watch it in order, it's a slow burner.
Yeah, this is pretty much my experience too. Basically I was watching it to bask in the glory of Joan and gradually got into the surrounding plotlines.

via wiki: "The fifth season is scheduled to premiere on March 16, 2012."
crap, I was hoping it was sooner :(

can't wait! i don't remember exactly when it's supposed to start, but sometime this Spring, right? if only there was an internet to help determine the answer!

It has been off the air so long that I barely remember what even happened last season. It's hard to get excited about it.

I assume this season will begin in 1975, it feels like they've been gone so long

im sorta not looking forward to this. so sick of don and his bullshit. would be really excited if the next season was peggy-only
― max, Tuesday, 3 January 2012 16:34 (1 year ago) Permalink
I'm hoping for a mid-70s setting. I feel like anything 1966-1969 will have inevitable stretches of crushing predictability.

it'll be awesome, i'm pretty sure, but yeah, i'm not exactly salivating. it seemed to end on a queasy, foreboding 'happy ending' for don, and i'm not desperate to see the whole miserable second marriage unravel.

The last minute will obviously be Don looking out of a window with a deeply furrowed brow.
― Inevitable stupid samba mix (chap), Sunday, 15 January 2012 17:56 (1 year ago) Permalink
It's still my theory that the show's focus will shift from Don to Peggy by the end of its run, so I'm expecting that to really begin happening this season. *crosses fingers*

for us, maybe. for so much of the rest of the viewing public that watches this show it almost needs a personal qualifier on my part that he's the main dig.

fat betty was amazing. i think the scene where she goes to sneak a little whipped cream from the fridge, aerosols it into her mouth, gets disgusted with herself and spits it out in the sink is maybe the best scene in the entire series

Fat Betty was solid, I thought. Better than hiding the pregnancy by holding bags and pots of flowers or what have you.
