Mad Men on AMC (2 Viewers)

[TobiasFunke]

Best drug sequences I ever saw filmed were in Requiem for a Dream.

Trainspotting

The episode of the Simpsons where Homer uses the wrong veggies at the hippie juice factory and doses Springfield.All the fancy hallucinations they showed were obviously way off, but trhen they cut to Abe and his buddy Jasper sitting on a park bench giggling, and Jasper says "heh heh, we're old," and they keep giggling. Most accurate portayal of what it feels like to be on drugs in entertainment history.Also, I'm with Rudi. I could do without 95% of dream sequences in TV and film, including the ones in this week's episode.

Best drug sequences I ever saw filmed were in Requiem for a Dream.

I kind of remember that entire movie being one long drug sequence

 

[-jb-]

I fell off the couch when the Brit started discussing office supplies in the staff meeting...Draper stands up and leaves without a word.

CLASSIC

 

[Fiddles]

Jesus. Peggy is just awful.Still no major plotlines to grasp onto here. I could really use a large story arc.

Now that I think about it, did they *ever* really do a long arc? Lots of mini arcs, but nothing that lasted a season and dominated. Even the sale of the agency was just a few episodes.And they have a few mini-arcs now: The two heads of accounts / gay Sal / Peggy on the town / Grandpa (done now) / Roger's daughter's big wedding (the day after JFK).... not sure if we're gonna see anything big.

Draper's identity story was fairly large. I just think that a major, season long plot line would make this show better.

i think it would make it more like every other show on tv part of the reason i like david simon and tarentino so much is how much they put into characters and dialogsame thing heregranted with mad men they could keep current writing style plus do a season long plot line but honestly i dont miss one at all with the writing being this goodloved the scene at the country club with draper behind the bar a few episodes agoalso i just found out the actress playing peggy is married to fred armisen on snl

I agree with everything you said. And yet, the show feels very aimless at times.

 

[Fiddles]

Does Betty hate her children? She always has this "I'm going to give you a beating" expression on her face when she's talking to her kids. Heck Don is more maternal than her. :X

She doesn't like ANYONE even herself.

"sally go watch tv"couldnt beleive she shut the door on her kids when the cop came to tell her gene dieddefinately interesting seeing dons reactions to his wife treating his kids with no love and him thinking back to the way his parents treated him

 

[RudiStein]

Somebody find stills or a clip of Betty wearing that sundress in her dream/hallucination.

God yes.

Gotta skip to about 4:00 but there she is. :hamminahamminahammina:

Draper's identity was the subject of mini-arcs in each of the first two season, and my guess it will show up again this season, as there is alot more to mine in that. The same thing with Sal, and Peggy. And now that Grandpa is gone just wait and watch the fight over the estate between Betty and her brother. These story lines are designed to play out over multiple seasons.

Life is aimless at times.

 

[RudiStein]

Life is aimless at times.

Pretty much explains the existence of messageboards.

 

[Major]

I'm not sure what my favorite show on TV is at the moment. Mad Men, Breaking Bad or Sons of Anarchy?

 

[Raider Nation]

Pretty sure I'd have teh secks with January Jones. It would only take 16 seconds or so, then I'd try it again.

I'd tell her "2 minutes in heaven is better than one minute in heaven"

 

[The Kansas Comet]

"He might lose his foot."

"Just when he got it in the door."

 

[Raider Nation]

If I had a nickel for every office tractor accident I've been involved in...

Where had Don met (and had a drink with) Conrad Hilton before? I don't recall.

The country club a couple episodes back.

 

[chet]

Best ep of the season.

 

[Mystery Achiever]

Flipped over to CBS to see the win for Best Drama. While I was personally more interested in seeing Jon Hamm , January Jones looked fantastic.

 

[jdoggydogg]

Very good episode. It's funny, when Draper met Hilton at the party a few weeks ago, I knew that guy was a big wig. But I thought he'd appear later in the same episode and reveal his identity. Pretty cool.

 

[RudiStein]

"He might lose his foot.""Just when he got it in the door." :(

"He'll never golf again..."

 

[RudiStein]

Joan, on the couch in her lingerie or whatever, hi.

 

[Christo]

Best ep of the season.

Every scene was spot on.Roger's not on the chart :drawshiminonthesidewithpen: My name's on the door!What just happened? We just got reorganized and you're the only one with a promotion. Really? Yep.Great ending too. Don>We don't know who he's going to turn out to be.

Not sure of the exact quote but..."You wouldn't be sitting in the Presidential Suite if you worked for free..."

 

[jdoggydogg]

Roger Sterling just kills. I need to re-watch seasons 1 & 2 just to remember his funny lines. I loved it last week when Roger called Draper after Draper's son was born, and when Draper answered, Sterling says, "Da da."

 

[RudiStein]

'the British are coming...'

 

[Major]

"He might lose his foot.""Just when he got it in the door."

classic Roger zinger

 

[RudiStein]

What? No discussion of Peggy getting her brains ducked out?

Cooper playing the '**** Whitman' card on Don?

Just an awesome episode.

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

Cooper playing the '**** Whitman' card on Don?

Do we know how Cooper knows this?I thought it was a good episode too, although they're juggling so many storylines right now that a bunch were just completely ignored.

 

[Mystery Achiever]

Cooper playing the '**** Whitman' card on Don?

When/how did Cooper find out?

 

[jdoggydogg]

This was one of the best episodes in the show's history. Fantastic.

Pete Campbell came to Cooper with the info he had on Don/**** way back (season 1) I think. Cooper basically said "who cares?"

Yeah, just checked. Season 1, EP 12.

 

[jamny]

Peggy: "This is really good champagne"

Don: (looking at his drink) "No it isn't"

Peggy walks away.

That just cracked me up.

 

[Sammy3469]

What? No discussion of Peggy getting her brains ducked out? Cooper playing the '**** Whitman' card on Don?Just an awesome episode.

The funny part was the way he used the card since he basically said signing the contract doesn't matter since you can still dissappear anytime you want. It was also strange seeing Betty trying to see if the drawer in the desk was locked. I have a feeling this show ends with her finding out the truth and Don/**** just dissappearing.

I love how Betty got shot down by the preggo-fetish, governor's aide.

He wanted to hug or something and she said "it's still a small town" and he wanted to meet up with her again to "see the reservoir"

Betty wants something from him beyond his political clout. Yeah, there were a bunch of mixed messages towards the end of that scene but I think it had more to do with him telling her he couldn't take her on that 'hike' that day.

 

[piratemike]

All quiet on the issue of Joan's resignation?

 

[piratemike]

This was one of the best episodes in the show's history. Fantastic.

Agreed.

 

[Walton Goggins]

All quiet on the issue of Joan's resignation?

She's not going to leave the show so it'll be interesting to see how she ends up staying.

 

[RudiStein]

I was a bit disappointed that Don didn't get into the teacher's box during the eclipse.

 

[jdoggydogg]

Great scene between Peggy and Don, by the way. Those were harsh words, considering how he's been pretty cool to her. But they were all true and needed to be said.

Not to mention Cooper and Don. I don't think we've ever seen Cooper get all bad-### on someone...even in his own, subdued way.

Agreed, that was great.Also, did you see Sterling's face when Cooper called Hilton an eccentric? It was spit-take worthy.
