MAD MEN on AMC - Seasons 7(a) & & 7(b)

is that 'it' for Megan do we think?

Probably. A $1M check and a goodbye on amicable terms.

I hope so

xp

so did sally get a ride to school or

i will sorta miss megan, i think i might be one of the only staunch megan supporters tho

I like Megan, which is why I don't want to see her anymore -- I want her to be off in Cali, living large and sleeping with David Crosby or whatever they did in Laurel Canyon in those days.

getting stabbed by the manson brothers

yeah i liked Megan big time.

I found her really grating but she served her narrative purpose (they had to have *somebody* embody the late-60s swinging sexiness and childlike naivete)

megan was hot, big teeth and everything

I liked to think that Megan ended up in the Mad Dogs and Englishman menagerie and had a torrid affair with Bobby Keys, but the timeline for this season doesn't allow for that.

i really liked megan, esp her teeth and the way she talked
she was always fun to watch

i would fantasy cast her in a bunch of hammer movies

can we talk s1ocki into making these movies, maybe he could pull some strings

I'm not sure when this season wrapped filming, but it looks like Jessica Paré recently had a baby. Might be related to her character's quick exit?

It looks like her child's father is a dreddy white man but that is another thread o_O

Please tell me it's not Nasri.

i liked megan, too. and to think, she could have had a decent career as a tv actress in new york if don hadn't pulled her out of her soap opera to move west.

pretty much! it seemed really fortuitous that they were going to move, then the whole thing fell apart

Really surprised by that Carnival Of Souls stuff. The car scenes reminded me of it before Peggy's organ scene. If only Bert's face appeared at the car window instead of him in the car.

When Don rubbed Betty's shoulders and talked about possible love interests I assumed that was a sign that he still occasionally has sex with her. Anyone else?

no.

nah

no i think that one tryst they had post marriage was 'it' and nothing since.

Yeah, she laughed and said (maybe after he's mentioned another woman, think it was fiancee Megan)something like, "Having sex is *not* the way to get close to you." So if they do, it's just something that happens occasionally, no biggie. The kitchen scene is another reminder of how superfluous he's getting to be. (A woman who knew Roger in Paris before the War recalled, "You seemed like a minor character in your own life.")
Another good Fresh Air interview with Weiner, and Gross plays some very early excerpts that connect with recent scenes in ways I didn't expect (stream, dl, transcript)

Kinda wished they'd waited a few more weeks, but he'll be back at some point.

I was just listening to After The Goldrush and half the tunes could close this show.

ooooooh yes

birds ftw

Gold Rush would be great--I'd especially love it to be "Cripple Creek Ferry" or "Till the Morning Comes." Someone mentioned "Take It Easy" above; I could absolutely see that happening, especially if Don is headed for California, even though it would be far from my own choice.

The piece I mentioned a couple of days is posted now--my guesses, and Scott Woods' guesses, as to what that last song will be.

you folks sicken me

LOL

Praise from Caesar!

Could even see something from Deja Vu, Grissom--preferably not a Nash song.

Odds the last song is not in my iTunes library -- 1:10

You love lots of early-'70s soul, and I still could see them ending that way--Stevie Wonder, say, or the Spinners.

Better not be Bowie's "All The Mad Men"

L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home,
But it ain't mine no more

Neil Diamond's I Am...I Said. Affectively used in that Harvey Keitel/Kate Winslet movie where he rescues her from a cult or something.

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried
But it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared
For the sound of being alone

"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... said I
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why
"I am"... I said
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... I said

I was joking, but this is pretty on the nose!

holy shit.

Did you ever read about a frog
Who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names
And a few other changes
If you talk about me
The story's the same one

Someone just suggested exactly that on Facebook. (I mentioned in my piece getting the idea for the New Seekers from you, Dan.)

Only 2 recentish MM songs that spring to mind being on my phone are "Is That All There Is" and "Porpoise."

Should probably download "Stranger on the Shore" one of these days, tho.

man you guys are really fixated on this song thing

credits music is p far down the list of things that are great about this show imo

Quantum Leap already had this sort of thing on lockdown anyway.

lol

Last episode is Sam Beckett leaping into Don's body and sorting out all the harm he caused?

more like all the HAMM he caused

HAMM I AM

who drinks at work, I am the Hamm

Oh boy.

would you drink it with a fox, would you drink it in a box
