this show is bad i only watched part of season 1 up to the part where don goes to kill his brother but gives him money instead its so dumb. its like charles in charge except for nerds
So does Betty ever do anything with the kid she gave a lot of hair to? I need to know
Great season opener. I laughed so much.Yes. This was definitely one of the funniest episodes so far.
no himuro it's convenient and u forgot that red hair bitchs roommate was a gay too. it's too convenient. there werent that much gays back then and i meant convenient that dons brother kills himself and also other examples. the show is basically convenient the show
Am I crazy or is Jessica Pare a reeeaaaaaaaaally terrible actress? She makes January Jones look like Meryl Streep.
She portrays Betty with a cold, almost childish awkwardness; like a malfunctioning Stepford Wife. I can't really think of another female character Betty Draper could be compared to in terms of her personality and behavior.
If anything that weirdness is what makes people dislike the character as well as the performance, which could be a testament of how good Jones actually is.
She's very one-dimensional in season 4. The entire arc of the Francis family there is maneuvering around Betty being insufferably self-centered. It's just caricature of aristocracy in a nuclear family at this point.She's spent so many years being "less than" her husband. I can imagine becoming very self-centered when you're free from that oppression. Betty still remains first and foremost the #1 victim of sexism on the show, and her character changes have been a direct byproduct of that.
To be fair, her husband treats her like shit. Her finally snapping shouldn't be blamed entirely on her.
There needs to be a Betty defense force

Betty is more complex than that, she is a self centered child because that's how she was raised to be. She was taught to get married, fuck having a career, and have lots of babies. She grew up being taught and idolizing that lifestyle. That was her "value" as a woman. She had to give up her life and aspirations. Mad Men is complicated because it's a show about expectations. Betty bought into housewife "ad" and it has left her unhappy. The same is true for every character depending on what "ad" of life they bought into.
I'd think Betty would feel more happy with her own career and own life separate from her family life.
As for a Betty Defense Force, you're looking at it. Zephyr and I are literally THE defense force for Betty.

Is January Jones still in the show? God she's a fucking terrible actress. She somehow cheapened that X-Men movie that was already bad enough.
No way in hell could Betty be told that she has cancer and she manages to keep it to herself.
I enjoyed the two episodes without her. But she'll need to be in it as we see Sally's spiral into a coke whore.
oh shit :lolI enjoyed the two episodes without her. But she'll need to be in it as we see Sally's spiral into a coke whore.

I just rewatched season 4. Peggy and Don's relationship that season is about as perfectly written a relationship as you can have on TV
Tonight has awesome Lane Pryce?
I'm psyched.
I don't remember the series treating the other characters like it would Don before, but they really pulled their punches this episode.
No, you know, like they pulled back real far, like a sling shot.
Anyone else catch Pete calling Don "Dick" when he ran to get the toolbox?
peggys always been the best because shes the only one thats not a total fucking asshole
I'm not sure about the way AVclub interpreted the robot story. The robot story seems like it could go two ways: the robot pulled the screw because he knew what would happen, and wanted to prove he wasn't a robot (aka Pete acting out), orrrrr the robot did it because it was taught to, and it doesn't know anything else.
What do you think?
I suppose it is ambiguous, and since Cynthia says it "predicted" the Whitman murders, it makes it even more ambiguous. Whitman was a Marine, i.e. a robot with the power to kill, was he doing it to prove he wasn't a robot or because it was the only thing he knew how to do? Since 60s sci-fi was all about man's shortcomings told through stories of robots and aliens, it was a brilliant bit of writing in the show.
peggys always been the best because shes the only one thats not a total fucking asshole
Cosgrove, Sal.
:wtf
peggys always been the best because shes the only one thats not a total fucking asshole
The corruption of Sally is in full effect. :(
Too bad, because Sterling and Sally were awesome.
What was the Don elevator shaft scene about?are you serious.
Yes im serious. Relax. Me and my friends came with a few ideas after watching that scene. That was one of em. I wanted to hear what people generally thought about it.What was the Don elevator shaft scene about?are you serious.
his life was on-track, he found his equal sexually, intellectually, and professionally. then she fucking LEAVES him and he's left with a death sentence should he go after her. she was RIGHT FUCKING THERE and then she wasn't. and even though she is close it doesn't fucking matter; she's gone.

I liked The Beatles montage ending with Don pulling the needle off the record. :lol

Mr. Weiner said he was told that it was the only time a Beatles song has been in a television show, other than the band’s live performances.Wow (obviously he's not counting covers).

$250,000? Yikes.

well it's the last song on the album
there are a shit ton of theories out there that campbell is going to kill himself this season
there are a shit ton of theories out there that campbell is going to kill himself this seasonNotice Pete said his life insurance covered came from his junior partnership and after two years covers suicide :shh
"There's an airplane here to see you!"
This is the funniest season of Mad Men.
Everyone talking about GoT and not this Mad Men episode. Bah.yeah this was better than "Blackwater". Just on a completely different emotional level. Goddamn.
Pete just won back all his douche cred with that one.
So how do you thinkspoiler (click to show/hide)they'll keep Peggy a part of the show?[close]
What an episode. Allthough I didn't quite get why Jaguar was so important that they gave Joan a 5% stake in the company. Wouldn't the 50 000$, that originaly were in the discussion be much less worth then that?
I think Peggy might actually discover her job is harder without Don giving those convincing speeches to the client. Her ideas are good, but she still has the issue of being a girl and that she's not as smooth as Don is at selling the pitch.
When they literally pushed through that door and saw me hanging, that was the first time they had seen it. They didn't see a rehearsal or anything like that. That was their first look at it, and that was pretty genuine shock on all their faces. They knew, of course, because they had read the script, but those guys did a brilliant job, the makeup department. And they hadn't seen that.http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-watching/interview-mad-men-co-star-jared-harris-on-lane-pryce-and-commissions-and-fees
Curious how the thing with Pryce is going to end. I don't want to see him leave the show, but it sure does seem to be heading in that direction.
I guess you were hoping that he'd be hanging around?
Goddamn, last two episodes felt like a season's final. Wonder what they have in store for the last show..
I really thought Pete was going to be the one to die this season, but now with Lane gone, I don't see that happening.
:rofl
At the end montage with the fucking dogs.
Weiner really seems to like see Campbell suffer. That was cruel (again),
And yeah, I also hope they don't turn Don back into the cheating husband. It's a possibilty though, as that would mean to break him down completly.
Not happening. The actress is playing a main character in Sons of Anarchy.
Think Megan is Don's temporary bandage on a permanent wound?
If Don does cheat, it would be an interesting reveal of his psyche. Someone suggested that Don actually doesn't want the typical American housewife. He's attracted to women with a life of their own and a job and work they do. Betty was a working model when he met her. There was the artist chick. Then there was the department store owner gal. Of course, Faye is the ultimate of this type. And Megan made him happiest when she was showing her skills in advertising, and he seemed to go along with her acting as long as there was some real hope to it. Now, her mother tells Don that he has to take care of Megan, and so Don gets her the job. So, if that makes Megan less autonomous and if Don turns to cheating then it may be that he actually needs an independent woman to be satisfied.
They won't bring her back because that show demands her basically full-time. And Don doesn't deserve her anyway.Not happening. The actress is playing a main character in Sons of Anarchy.
Quiet you.spoiler (click to show/hide)They won't bring her back, but she is my favorite of Don's women.[close]
