He also tries again once Stan is gone, and has a worse shot. I think it says something more for Ginsberg's desire to do well, and do his best, but he continues to fail. The whole episode he was trying to contribute in some way creatively, while sober, and was unable to. Until the final scene with him in it, where he's…
I assume it was amphetamine / speed. Just given by how Stan and Cutler were racing, and the passage of time being so fast and easy to lose track of.
The Ketchup and Mustards.
I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I'm so… SCARED.
This is the only place in all of the internet where I can discuss Mad Men with people who actually appreciate it.
People have always complained that nothing happens on Mad Men episodes, which, I take contention with, but can also understand where they're coming from plot-wise. But sometimes I honestly get taken aback at how much has transpired. It feels like such a different world than the beginning of the show, and although…
Just give all the episodes A's. They're so much better than anything else on TV.
I agree. I think this season has had some of the strongest episodes of the series to date, and I was thoroughly entertained by tonight's episode, but it was hard to place my finger on what it was trying to say thematically. Much like Gleason's daughter with the stethoscope, I can't find the pulse of this episode, will…
I really hope that this was the kick start Don needed. That "busy" line he delivered to Lindsay Weir in the elevator reminded me of old Don. We saw glimpses of it last season, when they landed Jaguar, but it's hard to say. He's resting on his laurels too much, he isn't producing good creative, or any creative. That…
The one thing I really caught onto this episode, is how important Peggy is to Don. And how important Peggy is to the agency, and everyone around her. Stan fawns for Peggy, Ginsberg competes with her, Ted has to fight his urges for her, and Don and her have a near indescribable relationship.
Are you sure nobody injected something into your ass before your wrote that comment?
Not to mention, "whats-her-name" is Gleason's daughter. Adds another bizarre element to that. Cutler's watching his dead friend's daughter have sex.
How dare Bobby Draper ask Grandma Ida who she is. Who the hell are you, Bobby Draper?
Adam wanted to be like Don, he looked up to him.
I think that was simply a seed planted to be addressed later. I don't think the writers would dedicate a scene to such an obscure reference. I think we'll see Randy again in some way.
I hope the show doesn't continue on that note, or end on that note, because I feel that concept in itself is a deceit. I mean it's beautiful and poetic to see things as cyclical, applying the adage "life goes on" and all that. But that's also how *spoilers* The Wire ended, with everything falling into place and having…
It was the punchline to the episode though, the episode could've ended on Don and Lindsay Weir ending their relationship, but that final shot of Don and Megan on the bed with RFK's assassination on the television is harrowing, at least to me.
I implore you to go back and watch Mad Men's first season. Or second season. Or third season.
"do you guys like not remember being 16 and just hoping" is genuinely the saddest, most relatable thing I've heard today.
