MAD MEN on AMC - Season 6

So, yeah, not sloppy but needlessly confusing.

maybe they did. that poster for the season looks like it's Don passing Don on the sidewalk, right?

spooky

i loved the technique they used with the jolting flashback

what signified the flashback?

different clothes, for one

it does feel like the pt of it was how close u are 2 dying at any instant i guess

i like her violin case; it looks like a coffin

I wouldn't rule out Don having a heart attack or some other kind of major health collapse this season, there seemed to be a lot of foreshadowing.

Like we were meant to think the very opening scene was through the doorman's eyes but... why would they shoot an opening scene through the eyes of a character we've never seen before? Could well be misdirection.

i read it as don's preoccupation with death/everything falling apart at a moment's notice

the scene when they're dragging him in drunk later in the ep reveals he's been curious as to what the doorman's experience was like

I feel like they really portrayed awkward drunk questioning pretty well, there

jon hamm is consistently v good at looking v drunk.

Also drunk on looking good.

i love don when he's a sloshed mess, so childlike

weird episode, pleasing to watch but yeah unusually sloppy and none of the themes seemed to quite work right. was sort of annoyed in advance at all the thousand word blog posts i imagined were being written disagreeing with this and doing the show's thinking for it

don's suicide pitch was hilarious, roger piping up with the film the dude was trying to remember killed me

became really obsessed with the number of times don got away with totally blanking questions people asked him. i guess that was a big contributor to the dream sequency feel

betty i dont even know what she's supposed to be any more

where do you think they're going with this creepy bootlickin bob dude

he's going to go postal on the office

until cosgrove shot him down i was half expecting bob to be a running figment of don's imagination

cosgrove going hard on that guy was awesome

I remember him as the guy from Lone Star, that got cancelled way too soon.

My favorite bit with that guy is that Pete took his other cup of coffee without a word.

Being shot down by Kenny, who's seemingly consistently chipper with everyone, really cemented that dude's place on the pecking order. Only a slapdown from Harry would be worse.

I like Bob.

He was born 10 years too late.

His goofy smile in the elevator reminded me of the flashback of don in the elevator with roger.

otm

too perfect for Don, have to cheat

You only have one chance with Lindsay Weir.

SCDP having a closet with a bunch of Leica cameras in it

"here, you can have this, I think it's the best one"

On one hand, Don Draper is screwing his wife. On the other hand, Leica M2.

On one hand, Don Draper is screwing his wife. On the other hand, Leica M2.

Totally fair.

the biggest blow wrt to don cheating was not being disloyal to megan, but that don seemed to like and respect dr. rosen so much, and he doesn't like and respect many people. it was nice seeing them interact, then heartbreaking.

kind of made me want to drink a lot and vomit in an umbrella stand

It's overrated.

whoever upthread said that scene was like a russian novel otm

You’re totally making me want to watch it all again right now.

I don't get how we know Don was fucking the doctor's wife. Was my download missing a scene? I didn't even really notice that character. I might have been drunk.

You missed a scene

you were drunk

rewatch :)

There Is a version out there with seven minutes missing I heard.

yeah there is, had the same issue as did some friends (wives)

Oh okay. That may make sense. I could try and get to watch it on Sky tomorrow when it shows properly for the first time in the UK. It's the first time I've had anything like this issue.

Cheers (wives)

yeah the first scene release was missing the last few scenes, look for links that say "proper" at the end

mad men not having don sleeping with someone's wife is a serious breach of the supply of goods and services act

the doc is skiing outdoors while don is sexing er indoors

sliding down those OTHER slopes

sorry

I like how Roger said "where's Skeezix?" which is a weird little affectionate nickname type deal that I've never heard anyone other than my dad say.

where's skrillex
