    These last two episodes have been great. Peggy standing up to Roger was a nice surprise and that little exchange between the new guy and Ken at the bar was hilarious.

    (about Don) "He's a decent Guy"
    "You know, you almost got fired just now."
    "I don't think you're right about that."

    Then my friend told me how the most recent episode was very Pete-oriented and that was discouraging. I still think Mad Men needs to kill him off. It wasn't a good episode for Pete, though, so that made it better. What the fuck was up with him hitting on that high school chick? I've liked Pryce for a while now, but kicking Pete's ass was icing on the cake.

    If you are referring to me, that is not at all what I said. I said that going back through, I found it interesting that they did hint at it in the very first episode. I picked up on it immediately in my first run-through, but I watched 3 seasons back to back and forgot in which episodes certain things happened. I also didn't remember that they revealed Don's real identity as soon as they did.

    Edit: Oh, and Pryce being all pleased, "I don't know if you heard, but England won the World Cup." He totally didn't let it bother him when Roger was like, "Cup of what?" He just went on with what he had to say. Great exchange.

    I never thought I would ever enjoy watching corrupted video, but that was extremely cool.

    Tonight's episode was definitely strange and that's not just the LSD talking.

    "Yes MASTER!"

    <3 Megan.

    Not sure how I feel about the romanticization of Don's violence. Bro you think your Edward Rochester or Heathcliff? Away with yee swine.

    My feelings about Don and his womanizing change from week to week. Last week, I thought maybe he had changed bc of Megan. This week, not so much. They NEVER change, Megan!

    I don't know that they're romanticizing Don and his nasty, violent side. I don't think we're supposed to like him very much at all, at this point.

    Also, I am probably a terrible person for laughing at this, but it's been stuck in my head for well over a week:

    I hope Don becomes one of the most dislikable people in Mad Men and indeed in TV just so that all the assholes who I've met who work in advertising and marketing who think they are this guy, who have actually started basing their business and lives around this character understand that they are all a bunch of dickholes - even if they are "flawed individuals". /notbitter

    So I don't have cable and thus have to torrent this show. I'm watching and I realize it's 53 minutes instead of 47. "Score" I think to myself, since it seemed like a really good episode and I was enjoying the split/overlapping narrative. It gets to the part where Don drives away from HoJo and after the "commercial" break, BAM! Jennifer Love Hewitt and that new Lifetime series she's in. After a short bit of confusion, I realized that if I just skipped ahead, the rest of the episode was there. It was still pretty jarring, and kind of funny.

    It was a pretty good episode, though. Each of the three had their own sort of trip, and each one ended on a pretty down note. . I actually laughed out loud when Roger opened the vodka and smoked his cigarette. After a slow start this season, the show is definitely rolling along right now.

    Dude, I downloaded that same fucking rip. I didn't know the rest of the episode was still there. I thought I just got trolled.

    Nothing too radical, just classic mad men dialogue. Megan just keeps getting more badass, it kind of worries me.

    Best exchange:
    Roger: Who knows why people in history do good things? For all we know, Jesus was trying to get the loaves and fishes account.
    Don: My in-laws don’t think I’m Jesus.
    Roger: They’ll be clapping and cheering, they won’t know you’re a hippocrite.
    Don: Megan’s father is a communist. He’s a socialist or a Maoist or some ideology that makes him hate me and what I do. Plus, you know, I’m sleeping with his daughter.
    Roger: So he’ll see you shaking hands. You know, it’s very interesting, a lot of times, you think people are looking at you, but they’re not, their mind is elsewhere.
    Don: Lots of people that haven’t taken LSD already know that.

    Also, Roger to Megan’s mom: I’d buy you a drink, but I think they’re still free.
    Sally and Glen: How’s the city? Dirty.

    That is incredibly unfortunate.

    As I was watching the episode just now, I was talking to my friend:

    Me: I don't know why but Ken shhhshing his wife was hilarious to me
    Me: Probably because of her timing
    Him: they should have her turn into a pile of metallic goo
    Him: just once
    Me: Hahahaha. That actually made me laugh out loud.
    Him: doesn't even have to be a big thing
    Him: background, easter egg style

    "Don there's nothing you can do. No matter what, one day your little girl will spread her legs and fly away."
    And Rogers laugh with it had me going for a couple of scenes, I had to rewind. I was in stitches.

    I believe once you edit, you can make it all caps.

    Here's my thoughts:

    A) Fuck Pete Campbell
    B) They suddenly have a payphone and they have to show two people using it in the same episode?
    C) "We can't get the Beatles"
    D) FUCK Pete Campbell
    E) Hell yeah Peggy standing up to Don, and him not having any sort of response.
    F) This is very funny to me.
    G) Pete needs to kill himself so he'll be off the show.
    H)


    Edit: Sorry to post two videos in one reply, but I can't control the fact that it auto-embeds them and this is worth sharing.

    -The contrast between Betty & Megan was really heightened this week, not just with the obvious behavioral differences, but also in style. Cutting from Megan wearing pants in that city apt to Betty wearing a dress in that dark mansion.
    -I don’t watch a lot of drama, and so I’m sure this is more common than I know, but wow do the newcomers (Megan and Ginsberg) really inject a lot of freshness into the show. Their ambition seems to be making everyone sweat.
    -Is it commonplace in TV drama to have what seem like such short scenes? So many scenes are nothing more than an elevator ride, yet the glaring looks and loaded dialogue impart so much. Finally, I’ve been watching this show for a while now, but I think it just dawned on me how the show mostly consists of really bad people who occasionally do the right thing, which is kind of the opposite of what I had always thought shows tried to portray. You might have a few bad apples in the cast, but the majority of characters in a “normal” show are good people who occasionally do the wrong thing. It’s very difficult to find empathy for anyone on this show. It reminds me of the Sopranos, which I think is where Weiner made his bones.

    Some favorite lines:
    Pete: I spend an hour on the phone last night talking to my new best friend at the New York Times.
    Roger: Are you getting a paper route?

    (paraphrased)
    Roger: Will you come to a business dinner with me?
    Jane: Will you buy me a new apartment?
    Roger: This is becoming the most expensive dinner in history. But fine, yes.
    Jane: Have your lawyer contact my lawyer about dinner.
    Roger: I feel like one of us should be saying thank you.

    I can't understand why some of you want to kill off Roger or Pete for being assholes. The whole show is assholes.

    Personally speaking this show is all about Roger for me. But yeah, you have a few good points there. I guess that's exactly what keeps this show interesting for me as basically there is no real plot to follow.

    I'm behind two episodes so I'll make myself a nice triple feature this Sunday or even Monday.

    When he said that that, my jaw dropped. Personally, I.can't stand the guy. So for Don to put him in his place like that, it was pretty awesome.

    I didn't like Ginsberg either at first, much like Megan. But both are a lot like Peggy in that they are minorities able to break into the spheres of influence of these powerful white men and work hard to stake their own claim. Don and Roger are both profiting from and at the same time clearly threatened by the new talent, which when Roger and Don started, wasn't even a consideration. So both new characters have grown on me considerably in that they are (like Peggy) pushing this overall message of the decline of the WASP male.

    "I got a million of these lines. A million."
    "I guess its good you work for me then."
