Starts Sunday, can't wait. Can't be a better show on the air right now.

I want me some Don Draper.

You take Don.


I'll take Ms. Holloway.

No matter what happens to me in my life, it will never be complete if I never have Christina Hendricks for at least just one moment in time.

I watched Season 1 right before season 2 started but then never caught up to season 2. I'm gonna have to try and catch up.
I was in the mall yesterday and Banana Republic has a "Mad Men" collection of suits, which I though was pretty cool

I heard an interview with Jon Hamm on Bill Simmons' podcast a few weeks ago and he seemed like really cool and down to earth guy. He was talking about how he had been in LA for years with no breaks and had been let go from his agency and forced to wait tables part time before being cast as Draper. Pretty cool story i thought.

Oh my god, I know what I'm doing today.

That's how I got into the show. Simmons and Dave Dameshek kept mentioning their man-love for Draper, when Jon Hamm came over to Kimmel's for Sunday football and they couldn't believe how they were smoking outside with Draper. So I checked out the show and what do you know, it's the best show I've ever seen.

I just re-watched Season 2 On Demand and can't wait for season 3.

I had my first Old Fashioned today in honor of Don Draper.

And I saw nothing of the sort at Banana Republic today.

Sitting down with some rye whiskey, getting ready for the world gone Mad.

Good start to the season!

Yep, some cool Draper moments.

Looking forward to the Heads of Accounts war.

Yeah I can't find it online. I def. saw it @ the mall

Who doesn't want to be Roger Sterling?

I loved Don Draper's line to Betty's father tonight.

The Father: Money doesn't fix every problem
Don: No, just this particular problem.


He just said that in such a cool way, I wanted to touch him

I love Kornheiser now.

I've always loved Kornheiser, except on Monday night football. He's done a podcast for Lebatard as well and he's an enthralling guy, really.

Good catch on me biting TK's rhymes.

When it comes to tv shows and this kind of shit, we're in sync, us two.

does that make me or you the gay one?

Either way, just saying

I loved Sal's scene with his wife this week......so great.

1) I'm a little disappointed the grandpa went donk down so fast. I found him and the way the family dealt with him to be entertaining, and I thought for sure he was gonna bad touch his grand daughter. I think there was a foreshadow of his daughter becoming a hippy, while she was watching the vietnam coverage.

2) I love'd the Sal scene. I know it's not popular with everyone, but I think he could be one of the most interesting characters of the show if they flesh him out this season, way more interesting than campbell or some of the other office stiffs.

3) Peggy stuff has been really good so far. She's a very odd duck.

No I think we're both gay.

far enough, I'm good with that


and grandpa wasn't gonna touch the kid, that was you just thinking like a degen. I never got that feeling at all.

I was surprised the killed him off so soon though. I figured he would clash with Don a little more.

Betty is such a witch to her kids. Shheeeesh.

Peggy's roomie is familiar, I've seen her in something recently, but I'm too lazy to snuff it our right now.

Salvatore's wife was very cute. I guess she had a moment and realized he was a homo after him acting out the commercial

She played Daisy in Californication.

I was also a little upset Gene died. I thought they were going to do a little more with him. His death was inevitable at some point this season, but it felt a little early.

good call, thank you

From Vaginatown to the critically acclaimed Mad Men

I dunno, I got that impression from several semi creepy scenes and looks he gave her, how he obviously showed preference towards her.. also, how he groped betty in season 2, I thought it was all foreshadowing him abusing the grandaughter, and betty reveiling that he'd bad touched her... I guess that's too much of a "very special" mad men to go that route.


I was thinking the same thing about how horrible betty is to the kids.. those kids are going to end up so terrible, imo.


Re: sal's wife.. I thought the same thing.. the ackward way she curled into his arms as absolutely perfect.

Exactly.

I rewound the DVR a couple times to laugh at her face as she curled up on his chest. Was beautiful and one of the best things about the entire scene.

Best show on television.


I love Pete Campbell. He's just so damn human. And what a dancer!

Also...My name is Peggy Olson, and I want to smoke some marijuana.

Classic

God I wish dancing was like that now. My biggest weakness would be gone.

I'm not sure I remember the grandpa touching betty on Season 2. If so, I retract my degen comment to BigD


Pete Campbell is such a weasel. But his wife is cute

That's when betty first discovered that her dad's mind was slipping, when her and Don were separated, but put on a show for the family ( and had the sex, I believe ,that procreated her current child)


I mean, you're not wrong about me being a degen, I just don't think is applicable in this case.

Interesting.

Hopefully that leads to their divorce. I just want Draper to be single.

LOL No, I mean her and don had sex, though they were seperated at the time. It might be that dude she slept with at the end of last season's kid also, that's a real possibility, I think.

Nah, she already knew she was pregnant before she slept with that guy.

hot

I'm I supposed to infer from the labor drug-dream scene from last night that Betty's mother killed a black dude for..........talking?

no. if you were paying attention closely, which you have to during this show, the tv referenced Medgar Evars killing ( I think) and I know the teacher said Sally was taking his death hard, so I just assumed the bloody negro was Medgar Evars.


HEY, does this mean I actually understood something that others didn't? I'm usually the guy that reads posts on here about shows and goes "Ohhhhhh yeaahhhhh, now I got it."

Go me?

unless you were joking, then I'll just happily go back to being the resident forum moron

wow did that ever fly right over my head. nice catch

dude looked like Medgar Evars too

Wife asked me the same thing and I had to explain to her.



and WOW and the John Deere scene.

I thought this episode was really good but I can't explain why. Just solid all around. Is Christina Hendricks leaving the show or will she get her job back? I hope she's staying

Don really is badass

"...and just when he got his foot in the door."

Wow, who wouldn't want to be Roger Sterling.


She can't be leaving the show, her boobs are too good.

I hope she's not leaving. Love her.

Are you guys high? She's a sensation and one of the most popular parts about the show, there's zero chance she's leaving.

I just hope they take this serious and publish a lawn mower safety course for the girls in the office before anyone else gets hurt.

I was wondering about the last shots of Joan, with the blood on her suit, visually referencing Jackie Kennedy.

Was this the beginning of the end for Sterling Cooper? The company is lost and old, and doesn't realize it how out of touch it is. I can't see their corporate culture embracing change. (The only two employees who should be able to respond to the mid 60s are Peggy and Pete. And Pete is such a social moron, he doesn't understand how his ideas are on the cusp of what's going to happen.)

Good catch.

You, you're good.

I think the company is still strong in regards to bringing in business, especially now that Don is about to bring in a whale

yeah, I just think there's going to be a sea change in the place, with the supremacy of television, that's going to change the industry, and we're only just beginning to see that.

Oh yes, I like this.

Some of you may have noticed this, but earlier in the season there was a shot of Roger's daughter's wedding invitation and the date was November 23, 1963. The day after JFK was assassinated.

see, this is what I was talking about in my earlier post, you guys notice everything. That's good stuff sir. I knew the assassination would play a role in this season
