MAD MEN on AMC - Season 6

henry's clearly got some kink in him

My dvr cut off just after the "next week on" bit started, so I'll be in the dark.

vietnam mentioned, joan mentions she's seeing someone (probably bob, who had coffee again at joan's place in those fucking shorts), joan reacting to something on tv (this was july from angel angelof shootings reference so guessing next episode is august - joan reacting to chicago dnc? soviet tanks rolling into prague? prince harald of norway marrying a commoner? probably the last one).

cool thanks

90% of that is pure conjecture on my part, it just wasn't the completely the standard nearly dada 'next week on mad men' spot, i think characters may have even spoken complete sentences.

abe has a change of heart, mails himself to peg, gets stabbed again.

^I had a line about Stan's cousin the sailor, but this is for the best.

I miss creepy Glen.

was working up a tortured bert cooper/lady godiva's operation joke so relieved for the reprieve

Henry seemed put off by it though so who knows what he wants? Maybe foreboding old victorian homes are what gets him going.

Sick with silence, Bet Cooper weeps sincerely,
Saying words that have oh so clearly been said
So long ago.
Don Draperies wrapped gently around his shoulder,
Advertising has made him that much bolder now

I'll show myself out.

i didn't think he seemed put off by it. he just said "that's enough, betty" and she kinda giggled.

This ep was so good. I should have turned off AD after the first ep and watched this instead.

Peggy w knife mirroring creeping through Vietnam with bayonet

friendly fire

okay does anyone really buy this Megan-is-going-to-get-murdered/Sharon Tate amalgam theory

You could spin a lot of theories about what seems like the impending murder of Megan Draper, from it being another break-in (foreshadowed by Grandma Ida), to a case of mistaken identity (foreshadowed by Peggy’s stabbing of Abe), to Don being the murderer (there is a Draper walking to and from the crime scene in the poster), to BOB BENSON because OF COURSE BOB BENSON

BOB Benson in a left-field Twin Peaks crossover.

death by coffee

a murder seems a bit out of character for the show but on the other hand the soap opera subplot does seem to portend a big plot twist.

Bob gets away with killing Joan when no one else on the show can pick him out of a lineup

lol forks

where are they getting this from? someone catch me up

http://www.vulture.com/2013/05/mad-mens-megan-draper-is-actually-sharon-tate.html?mid=twitter_vulture

based entirely off of Janie Bryant confirming the star t-shirt was cribbed from Tate afaict (ie this is mostly bullshit)

In the next episode Don learns that Dick Whitman was actually Roman Polanski, who took on the name Whitman because he had raped a girl. Think abt it

haha it's is weirdly intriguing tho--those police sirens in the last episode seem foreboding.

There's that, but it's also around the time Manhattan was really sinking into decay, wasn't it? Late 60s? I think the sirens will probably be a constant for the rest of the series.

xpost

interesting. the sirens were definitely a thing, although I took it for more of a free-floating "their relationship is in danger" symbol.

Sally Draper was reading Rosemary's Baby in bed right before the break-in.

well 1968 was a scary year! assassinations, riots, escalating war, etc. lot of death. but the Tate thing seems really stretching it, and would be out of character for the show. This show obviously takes place in the real world, so we Tate murders are still going to happen - the idea that Megan will be murdered AND Tate will be murdered seems sort of stupid. seems more likely that Megan will know someone connected to the murders, which are due to take place in August and is probably what Megan is gasping about on TV in the "next week" clip

xp

Yeah, weird to interpret "No coincidence!" as suggesting that Megan is literally Sharon Tate or will suffer the same fate. Seems like the show just wanted to exploit some resonances.

yeah if anything the shirt seems to simply foreshadow the actual historical event about to take place rather than anything that will happen to her (except maybe metaphorically or whatever).

With the sirens and the stabbings I'd been wondering if Weiner was leading up to something more violent, but I think Megan getting murdered would be too on the nose.

megan looked RIDICULOUSLY hot in that t-shirt and panties btw

i watched last season over the course of a few nights right before this season started and there was an enormous amount of hints towards a suicide by hanging.

yeah i think everyone knew there was definitely gonna be a suicide last season, the question was would it be lane or pete. lane 'won'.

seems more likely that Megan will know someone connected to the murders, which are due to take place in August and is probably what Megan is gasping about on TV in the "next week"

AUGUST 1969.

I've seen the Sharon Tate photo before, but Meghan in that star tee and panties coded to me as more 90s than 60s. "Hi Don, I've landed a role in a Weezer video."

d'oh correct you are Grisso, I transposed some numbers sorry

star tee made me think of Macy's tbh
