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

!

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

*yawn*

altho I appreciate them not giving anything away. would just as soon they don't bother with these bullshit trailers at all.

I'm really starting to buy the DB Cooper idea. I mean how hard would it have been for Matt Weiner to say "DB Cooper! We know how that story ended, but how did it begin?" and then work his way 11 years backwards.

trailer should've used "Yakety Sax"

jesus - spoilers people!

I like the DB Cooper idea, it fits neatly and is funny but come on

I think I'd actually be disappointed if that's what happens, but speculation is half the fun of the show (or, as with the case of LOST, all the fun of the show).

I wonder if they will do some sort of bi-coastal thing w/Don, Ted, and/or Pete in Cali.

XP OMG, that's too perfect!
