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

lawnmower foot vs. Ken face-shooting is a tough call for me

dude on the other side of the translucent glass squeegeeing the blood off coupled with ashen-faced harry and roger's jokes was an all-time great MM moment.

"and just when he got it in the door"

"the doctor said he'll never golf again"

That might be the funniest episode ever.

MM supercuts on YouTube are the best.

Oh god, remember when Miss Blankenship died? Driven out covered by Harry's blanket.

Well, this is interesting. Robert Towne has joined the writing staff:

!

wait

I don't really speak tv behind-the-scenes --- what does 'consulting producer' entail exactly?

From what I gather as someone who just reads websites and stuff, titles like that vary from show to show and may be based on the terms of one's contract more than one's actual duties. It looks like everyone who's been a consulting producer on Mad Men has also been part of the writing room, and most have been credited with writing (or cowriting) at least one episode.

predict MW will give himself two writing credits on every episode

partially-ordered season rankings:

3 > {1,2,4,5,6}

2 < {1,3,4,5,6}

4 > 5?

I dunno.

They picked up a new scribe

She's my secretary! She's my copywriter! She's my secretary! She's my copywriter!

surely I'm the first and only person to make that joke.

who's doing the slapping in this scenario

Don:"I fucked 'em! I fucked them all!"

"I am the motherfucking senior partner, motherfucker!"

Small talk @ the '69 Clios:

Peggy: You must be a very important executive.

Cutler: Well, whatever I am, I could get you whatever you want.

Peggy: Hm?

[points to Ted Chaough*]

Peggy: Well, what I really want is to suck his cock.

YES

I have almost completely forgotten the last season of this show

is Don still married to Freddie Mercury

this last season i thought was incredible, kind of haunting. once i felt the particular rhythms of where it was going i plowed through it.

freddie mercury?

huh. anyway i think she's really good. quite touching in the role, somehow.

I like Megan. Even still. iirc she left him at the end of the last season, though.

Shakey Mo you take that back before I track you down and avenge my Mad Men Wife's honour.

Has there been word on whether or not Meagan and Trudy are aboard this season?

part 1 of Season 7 is to be called "The Beginning" and part 2 "The End of an Era." :/

we might know when we see photos but this is matthew weiner, dude probably wouldn't confirm don draper will be on the show this season if directly asked. i kinda like having no idea (well little idea) what this show is gonna be like when we come back.

"the end of an era", srsly?

MAD MEN IN BEING 'ON THE NOSE' SHOCKAH

Damn, can't watch it in the UK.

it's a fifteen second slo-mo shot of jon hamm walking out of a plane

It's not an ethical dilemma for Don...it's some kind of dilemma.

Just finished a run through of this, great fun.

In response to above. I thought Don’s approach was very jarring, and one of many moments where suddenly SCDP went all clinical business relations over the normal free-breezy and deeply personal relations that had been the standard to that point. Very weird to see Don take what seems to be an ethical stand as well.

I was thinking about Mad Men yesterday when this came on the radio. So many perfect episode-ending songs, but this might be the one that got away for S5 or S6:

https://people.com/movies/jon-hamm-and-anna-osceola-are-engaged/

Celebrity news, yes...but this detail...

Osceola, 34, appeared in the series' final episode, where she had a small role playing the receptionist at Esalen, a spiritual California retreat that Hamm's character (Don Draper) attended. At the time, Hamm, 51, was in a long-term relationship with Jennifer Westfeldt. The couple split months later after 18 years together.

Such a Draper move!

Was it her who was made to look like a double for the woman in the actual Coke commercial?

that's her:

I didn't really follow that show after the initital season, but I made sure to watch the finale since I'd heard it has some Esalen/Nepethe/Big Sur thing going on, I wanted to see how they handled it

XP OMG, that's too perfect!
