That episode went by way too fast. I gotta say though I'm pretty happy with Mad Men and GoT so far this season, I'd kinda lost interest in both of them but they came on strong this year.

I think that the seasons of successful drama shows will get stretched out so far that there will eventually be only one episode that airs, once every year or year and a half, ~2 hours long, and you'll have to drive somewhere to watch it.

Nice

No matter how this show ends, I'll never forget the cacophony of phone calls I got after the lawn mower incident, and also my own jaw dropping


That might be one of the best things on TV ever

E: What are some other 'wtf' moments like that this show has had? Despite how much I like it, I don't do much in the way of rewatching it :shrug:

Oh yeah duh, I just saw that ken getting shot one. I didnt only mean like, bang bang wtf, but also emotionally wtf or whatever. Like, the hershey pitch would be one of those because you can feel your skin prickle as hes saying it.

E: was it a BB gun or a rifle? i always thought it was a legit .22 or something

I don't know if it's shocking per se, but the way the editing manipulates the timeline with the Joan - GM guy - Don situation made for a nice reveal when you realize that Don's visit to Joan came too late.

Do you remember which episode that might be? I wanna check that out. Also, I guess I gotta rewatch the first episode because I forgot about the way they played that all out

Oh yeah, those are both good ones. Interesting how most of them have come from last season so far. Wonder if thats more of a 'fresh in our minds' thing or if more bull poo poo is happening as the show ages

Also, why can't Betty just explain what happened? My kid gave away my sandwich, because he's like 10 and that's what kids do.

Because if she explained that to Henry she's smart enough to know he would just :stare: and point out how irrational she is

Thats one of the most blatantly terrible things I can remember Betty doing

Though in all fairness my memory blows

I lost a lot of respect for Don accepting that contract. Way to become a stooge that can be fired at any second with no compensation at all.

yeah agreed its a lot more respectable to collect a paycheck for sitting at home and playing dress-up for your former secretary

i guess the theme of mad men is that pretty much just about most people suck, but some of the nicer guys are just nice. even if they lost their eye and look like a fuckin pirate now just because they were trying to be a nice guy to some clients.

I'm amazed by watching the show and reading this thread that anyone respects Don. Uhh, why in the hell would anyone root for him? Jesus, he's not even doing himself any favors by pursuing his old gig.

Don sucks but being surprised that somebody would root for the main character is just ignorant as poo poo

Well if he hasn't been day drinking anyway he might just not give a poo poo about that at all. Dude just wants to be creative again, and if that was his primary goal, he achieved it. Plus, he's savvy enough to know that if he hits a couple of home runs hes going to have a longer leash
