Has Anne Fontaine made a good movie before? I've seen Coco Before Chanel and parts of Adore, and now associate her with bland, barely-titillating prestige.

I saw her in a miniseries adaptation of Tess of the D'urbervilles, with her as the titular Tess and Eddie Redmayne as the worst husband ever, and she was both luminous and heartbreaking in that. Not sure why she's been so everlasting forgettable since that.

Mad Men is one of my favorite shows to ever have existed, but I think it's time to get over it, guys.

In 20 years' time, maybe. Most of us are currently too poor to demand better food.

Because rape is itself a horribly contrived plot device, overused to death in the contest of GoT. Gilly's already spent a long time in Castle Black, frequently without Jon Snow (I don't know who else you're referring to, unless it's Shireen). She already has plenty of motivation without the threat of rape. (Like the…

Both scenes were completely terrible and pointless. Also, given the natural trajectory of Gilly and Sam developing feelings for each other up to this scene (they kissed last season!), did the show need throw in a horribly contrived and tired assault?

The last 50+ women you've encountered have all been on your computer screen, haven't they.

It's on Netflix Instant and I'd recommend that you put everything down to watch it. Character drama, political and spy thriller, dynastic feuds, historical backdrop all in one. Gets a bit outlandish toward the end but still one of the best, most riveting things I've watched all year.

"Don does go back to McCann-Erickson, and he does create that Coke ad."

Hmm I guess I don't believe that the "clues" inserted to prove Don's eventual path towards the coke ad are all that convincing or meant to be clues at all.

"So, what would be the point of deliberately misleading the audience?"

I agree that it's what the ad represents, but I don't think it necessarily means (or matters) that Don was the man behind the ad. Like someone else put it, Don IS the ad, Don is corporate America and the eventual commodification of '60s idealism and nostalgia—the ad is the thesis of the show, and that's the primary…

That's interesting, because I don't think of MM as a literal show at all. Or rather, it has lots of ties to reality and enjoys conjuring up historical backdrops, but like its spiritual predecessor (and Matt Weiner's overarching influence), The Sopranos, it's largely introspective and really enjoys blurring the line…

That would have made me sad—obviously don't know Kartheiser, but from what I've read he seems like a really really smart, kind dude and a bit lovably eccentric to boot. Plus, he's married to Rory Gilmore!!!!!!!

I believe that Don returned because he's Don and the California journey will prove as ephemeral as previous moments of self-enlightenment (which have happened like, 5x before). And because being Don, he can never run away for long without returning, so that he can have something to run away from again. But does anyone…

I've literally thought of names for a possible Sally spinoff but yep, there it is.

I love Freeman but I have a huge pet peeve about actors being in multiple giant franchises. It's like, pick one and stay with it.

It's what was running through my head while watching the movie's ending, because it sounded a lot better than "OMG THIS IS SOOOOO ROMANTIC KISS ALREADY!!!!!!!

"but could be its own thing, given a touch of the gothic deranged"

Aww. Fan of the book here and got to see an early screening of the movie. I thought it was really good and hella romantic, probably one of the most convincing adaptions/love stories I'd seen on screen in quite a while.
