The better question is who started spiking Sean's acid with whiskey!

Praise Xenu, I've been waiting for another one of these for so long.

she's 0/4 of the way to an EGOT

Definitely a fair point. I wound counter that Roger really wasn't content, he just didn't realize it yet. He at the time was completely fooled by his own facade but began to see the cracks in it over the course of the series.

I love the "hey look its the 60s" elements you're talking about, the nice little touches that draw you into the world. I don't love the grown inducing jokes they would make in the first couple seasons. The whole "Its not like there's a machine that makes perfect copies of things!" or "This technology is really…

You needed inspiration?

But he got her a dog! That promptly disappeared if I remember correctly.

Now it all makes sense.

I think this exactly sums up my feelings as well. When you're first watching all you see is these superficial paper thin characters, but watching it again you can see that none of these characters are truly what they seem. We know that Peggy isn't a meek little secretary. We know that Don isn't the smooth talker that…

At first it was definitely the production design, I thought the show just looked absolutely fantastic and it was just fun to sit and allow myself to be drawn into the show. After that: Hamm as Draper is one of the greatest tv performances of all time; I really enjoy the shows sense of humor; its willingness to…

Season 6 was definitely the most inconsistent season but I thought it ended on a stretch of some of the shows best episodes. I'll have to re-watch it but I think it was honestly one of my favorites. Season 3 and 5 represent the best the show has to offer in my opinion, you if you finish season 3 and are still iffy on…

That's why even though I caught up on Netflix I took almost a year to watch the four seasons (The incredibly long hiatus between 4 and 5 that annoyed everyone was a god send for me).

So basically what you're saying is that in the first season of Mad Men Don Draper is essentially Shrek.

"Does Marcellus Washington look like a Bird?!"

Seriously, just compare Cordy in season 1 of angel, who was essentially the same Cordy we knew from Buffy and then Cordy in S3 (before certain plot points ruined her character in my opinion). Its remarkable how much they evolved seemingly without you noticing.

Soap Opera's just have a bad connotation from what they've become. Which to me does not negatively reflect the genre but rather show the dangers of serialized television with no defined end point.

Its definitely more of a Soap Opera but I don't think that makes it inherently lesser than anything else.

I always loved the way Don's identity addressed the American ideal of the "self made man" and showed it for the fallacy that it was. Don's past is just a perfect representation of the shows major themes. I don't see how it's a miss step

I love "Summer v. Anna" for many reasons and in no way just because Rachel Bilson in a Wonder-Woman outfit….

Is "Its a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" to obvious?
