MAD MEN on AMC - Season 6

yeah feel like that scene of Don giving her money after sex would have worked better without the brothel flashbacks

definitely

being haunted by ghosts is Don's whole thing though, we gotta see what's on his mind

series finale: Don has a conversation with Anna in a featureless limbo between worlds, she tells him to believe in himself

that's like traditional TV making where you have to assume that everyone is just tuning in and watching the show for the first time and "quality nu-cable" tv should be above that kind of thing.

Now that they've used both "Just a Gigolo" and Tobacco Road", I'm half-hoping that "Yankee Rose" pops up over the credits soon.

David Lee Draper

I needed a DLR fix after this episode. Just a Gigolo video > this episode.

Come to think of it, Just a Gigolo video > everything else.

I'm starting to wish more shows would take longer hiatuses between seasons - I think that was the key to season five's success.

Don Draper, flying through the air on a wire, in assless chaps.

LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN

loved Peggy's attempt at morale boosting btw

is that pete's actual hairline

ah

He asked you to change your hair?
Yeah, I shaved my hairline back this season.

I was wondering about that. It looked different.
Yeah! Especially that last episode, they were really prominently displaying my bald spot.

I didn’t want to ask if your hairline was receding.
No, it’s not. Most of my friends were like, Dude, don’t do that, it might never come back in! But luckily I have a good head of hair.

I couldn't what purpose the flashback serves.

i never her

Don's done alot of things, but "he never her" ain't one of them. He always her.

Poor episode imo - the flashback brothel scenes / giving the doctor's wife cash to get by was terrible, as someone said above.

Loved Peggy - can we just see more of her and her boss and Stan? The Pete / Trudy story was ok, if depressing and kinda unrealistic - why would these women throw themselves at him?

I'm disappointed so far.

everyone in that room (except trudy who just disgusted and grinning until it was over) was horny and desperate to fuck someone who wasn't their spouse

It seems the writers are struggling to come up with anything more interesting to say about Don. Unrelated, kind of, but some more light relief would be welcome. Less who's fucking who.

xp balls yeah I guess you're right. But why?

The times? Isn't good enough.

cuz monogamy's a trap?

They're out in the burbs, dying a little everyday until the advent of Key Parties.

figure that the best eps will come midseason when Peggy, Joan, and Sally get some spotlight time.

for me Pete is the gaping hole in the show. no one would ever like him ergo he would never get ahead in advertising. it's not believable it's just badly conceived and bad writing, imo.

will never understand what universe these 'but this guy's an asshole, he'd never get ahead in sales' ppl live in

unlikeable ppl in advertising sales is precisely why pete is great

pete is totally likeable if you're a client

cf procurement

if anything i'm more skeptical of cosgrove's success, guy is way too centered and decent to succeed on his own wits (luckily he's got the dow account thru marriage). this bob benson guy looks to have what it takes though.

I thought the brothel scenes were there mostly to shed light on Don's weird conflicted horror about what they'd done to Joan.

yeah that was my thinking

Still trying to get a handle on who Bob is. In the first episode it looked like he worked for some other company in the building but now he's in on the client meeting?

Stan is totally going to get fired by the end of the season.

He's in finance or accounting or something. Desperately wants to find a way into creative.

Bob is a jr-level accounts striver.

it looked like he worked for some other company in the building

His office is on the second floor of SCDP.

Pete is so lame

also not believable

if we're to trust the "next week..." clip, there's some serious Stan action in the next episode.

Would be awesome if Bob works for Ted Chaough

Just about to say, Bob seems like a spy.

It's like he's read How to Succeed in Business by trying much much too hard. Maybe he'll take the fall for the ketchup thing in the end.

jaguar meeting was amazing.

Don sandbagging like a champion

xpost interesting speculation about bob. something is going to happen with him later in the season... something bad. this show telegraphs things like that too directly.

omg yes Don waxing lyrical about farmers driving jaguars as the britishers almost vomited in their teacups

A+++

Pete is so lame

ha he is such a baby

gonna love it if every episode this season has don horrifying a client in a meeting

his patheticness is his ultimate bargaining tool - so often he gets what he wants because it's the only way to get him to leave, lol

pete's
