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

so far so brisk though
what's with this office?! it's so stuffy. bizarre that his office & sterling's are in the same company

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

harry is the only person so far who seems to be diving headfirst into the worst tendencies of late 60s fashion. stan looks kind of amazing with the beard/turtleneck/contented grin

i love the word "catsup". did the copyright on "ketchup" run out in the 90s at some point? i seem to remember catsup being a part of my childhood.

don sucks. meghan should have never gotten mixed up with a dark, brooding guy like that. i feel like of all the main characters on the show, she had the best shot of finding actual happiness in life.
