Weak episode.

Wrong...Any episode with Megan singing and dancing like that is a great episode

 

[jdoggydogg]

Weak episode.

Oh come on.

I'm a huge fan of this show, but they needed two hours for that?

You know they have to reestablish stuff at the beginning of every season. I'll agree that it wasn't "great" but for a season premier it was very good. Of course after umpteen months of waiting they could have had the cast do "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" for 2 hours and I would have been happy.

I totally hear you. While I've always loved this show, I think it's inconsistent. I don't think this is a sign of bad things, I just think the show has episodes that just aren't as interesting as their best work.

Yeah, I hate it when that happens.

You're both right: everything this show does is great and there are no weak moments.

I think the point is that obviously there is no way that every episode of a show can be "best".

CAN. NOT. get

out of my head.

 

[Marvin]

Speaking of songs.... a capella version of the theme. Goofy yet fairly cool.

 

[Marvin]

Perfect.

My wife was cracking up at this when we watched it.

I hear ya...It has been in and out of my head since the episode ended

Roger continues to be great. "Kiss ###!"

Can't believe how much I look forward to this show every week. Sunday, in general, is a great night of TV.

MY DVR is on overload on Sundays: the three above, plus Californication, Shameless, House of Lies, Curb and Eastbound (when in season), and Life's Too Short, which I don't see on tonight's schedule for some reason. Is the season over already??Not to mention that the NFLN is having a Football Follies marathon starting at 7:00.

HBO's just hammering GoT opening week. EB&D and Life's Too Short are back next week.

 

[Raider Nation]

I missed one ep. of Life's Too Short. Is there a way to watch full episodes online other than HBO GO?

I'm having a problem logging in there.

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

Did an FBG write this episode? Don and Dawn?

 

[Raider Nation]

Who just got out of that bathtub ... Betty Francis or Haystacks Calhoun?

 

[curta269]

Who just got out of that bathtub ... Betty Francis or Haystacks Calhoun?

Is she really that fat now, or is it special effects?!

Actress January Jones, AKA Betty Draper on “Mad Men,” returned to work just seven weeks after the birth of her son and was having a hard time keeping up her energy. So she started eating her own placenta to help, according to People magazine.

She's filling out quite nicely.

Sadly, no.

 

[Righetti]

Wow just wo

 

[Raider Nation]

Jackie Mason did a great job as the new guy's dad.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

No like Betty fat

 

[Raider Nation]

Can't wait to see where this Roger/Pete feud is going. My money is on fisticuffs.

 

[badmojo1006]

Tonights episode was

Spoiler

The whole Betty/Cancer thing just sat there. No emotion.

And the whole Rolling Stones subplot was bad.

And the dorky new copywriter was lame

 

[Raider Nation]

The whole Betty/Cancer thing just sat there. No emotion.

Part of this is because J.J. is a terrible actress.

 

[Daywalker]

After nearly two years away, pretty weak stuff coming out the gate here.

Why they had Don get married again so quickly I'll never now. No womanizing and no scenes with Don dazzling any clients.

No Sepinwall link this week?

 

[pantherclub]

Totally a 'meh' episode. Not really sure where they are trying to go with this now.

 

[Brock Middlebrook]

the times they are a changin'I guess well see how these characters adapt

 

[Wrighteous Ray]

Yeah, I didn't love the episode either. Not a huge fan of the fat Betty plot or the Jew copywriter or Harry gets the munchies. Although it was worth it just for Dawn/Don.

 

[zamboni]

Not sure if that truly was effects to make January Jones that plump in the face even after her real-life pregnancy, but I don't think I'll ever find her that attractive again.

 

[Premier]

I think a main storyline this season will be depressed Betty. Hopefully it goes somewhere interesting.

 

[zamboni]

Yeah, the path seemed to be set last year when she wasn't happy with the old man. Certainly can see a love triangle between her, Don and Zoobie.

 

[bushdocda]

They overdid her fatness, it looked ridiculous.

Good undertones with Henry resenting that she called Dawn and just depressed Betty in general post divorce dealing with Don having a 20 yr old wife. But pretty meh in general.

Seems like they've had slow episodes before that weren't that dull.

I cannot figure out which way they are trying to go. So far it just appears as a program showing the mundane aspects of life and work. Where as before it had an edge to it in regards to the debauchery of Don and crew. The past 2 episodes have just been blah with no real direction.

No way Don and Betty get back together.

Perhaps, but you can't put anything out of the realm of possibility with this show.Clearly Don still cares for her though, as evidenced by his clear concern when Betty called him about her test results.

Roger throwing pete through the window. Maybe the root of the opening? Eh?

 

[Mystery Achiever]

I don't think they'll get back together. But he cheated on her constantlyky when married, so maybe they'll complete the circle with him cheating with her while married to someone else.

 

[Wrighteous Ray]

Clearly Don still cares for her though, as evidenced by his clear concern when Betty called him about her test results.

Yeah, the show's been pretty clear that both Megan and Henry have some negative feelings about Don and Betty's continued interactions. But I don't see any love triangles or love rhombuses in the future.

 

[Apple Jack]

Don and Betty again isn't inconcievble. They're both pretty miserable people. Don's going to tire of megan's youthful energy, if he hasn't already. Getting pissed about the zou bisou's and trying to bail on fire island, for example. Plus, that's the mother of his children. Betty will need to lose the weight though. Don aint playing that. But it's very unlikely. Much more likely is Betty starts taking speed, becomes a bigger raging c u next Tuesday and they fight visciously as Sally and Bobby get into their wrecking #### years.

 

[Apple Jack]

I think don might realize he prefers a Betty type for marriage and the megans on the side.

 

[zamboni]

Don's going to tire of megan's youthful energy, if he hasn't already.

Yeah, it's clear that's happening already. I can see at some point Megan using her knowledge of **** Whitman against him.

Maybe he didn't get enough PMs

I read scene as him being concerned that nobody would be able to take care of the kids (Megan couldn't), not that he was genuinely concerned for Betty

 

[Marvin]

Did an FBG write this episode? Don and Dawn?

AND THEY SOUNDED JUST THE SAME!

 

[Marvin]

Solid episode. I don't get the criticisms but to each his own.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Fat suit-wearing January Jones returns to 'Mad Men' in a really big way
