Think Weiner covered it with "HERE'S A NEWS FLASH ON THE RADIO ABOUT THE TET OFFENSIVE" shoehorned into Don and Lindsey's post-coital bliss.

I mean the opening episode contains quotations of Dante, yet more drunken barfing, and roger petulantly yelling "it's my funeral" and delivering a pitch perfect 60s style disquisition on existentialism to his shrink. It's great!

"this is more of an editor thing"
yeah, but since every episode has the same set of editors, it's likely hamm wasn't giving them good stuff to work with, no?

"good stuff" = shots where stuff matched

you really have to explain that. it's snarky but i'm not sure where you find the inconsistency.
if a show that normally does not include mismatched shots that often suddenly includes a burst of them in a single episode, isn't it more likely that it's due to a new element than the same element that has existed since the show began?
or maybe there are new editors
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 22:01 (eleven years ago) link
i mean, i know nobody cares about this stuff, i'm just sort of plagued by noticing mismatches.

no matter how cinematic a TV show gets I will always think about the writing 8000 times more than the editing, especially on a Cable Drama

I wasn't impressed with this episode either. For some reason halfway I found myself not being engaged the way I normally am with the show. It all seemed so 'flat', two dimensional. I don't know if that's to do with the editing (didn't notice any mismatches myself), it just didn't pull me in like MM normally does. And I really had no complaints about last week whatsoever.
It just wasn't very good. The brothel stuff coming through twice, and a for his standards poorly acting Pete in the scene where his mistress was beaten up... I don't know, it seemed sloppy to me.
I don't like how this Bob guy has been sneaked into the series either. Last week he was getting on everyone's nerves hanging around, and now he's already taking notes for them? Come now.

That is awesome, and a fantastic writeup
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 17 April 2013 01:54 (eleven years ago) link
to be clear my problems with the latest episodes isn't really related to the editing, that's just something minorly irritating that i picked up on in the last ep.

the previous Hamm-directed episode had a lot of really "on the nose" match-cuts iirc

There we see the oddness of Don. In exactly the same circumstances the "we should order lunch" would have elicited disdain or a curt rejoinder.

ah so Joan is a partner but is still office manager
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 22 April 2013 02:26 (eleven years ago) link
she's basically an office manager with a considerable promotion
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 22 April 2013 02:27 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, but as we saw since ppl know how she secured the partnership her authority is likely to be undermined at every turn... i feel like she was seen as more indispensible -- commanded more respect -- before the partnership thing
― Pat Finn, Monday, 22 April 2013 02:29 (eleven years ago) link
i suppose she would have to be office manager? what other job would she do?
(also if harry knows what's up re: joan becoming a partner, how many other people know, at the office & at other agencies)
― seriously, THIS GUY (daria-g), Monday, 22 April 2013 02:30 (eleven years ago) link
if harry knows, and he is angry with her (and so likely not to keep her secret) it won't be long before everyone knows. i suspect something is going to go wrong and she is going to be made uncomfortable and have to leave. which sucks, because she was always among the most competent people at the office, it seemed
