That was a great episode, so layered and complicated. I hate Pete.

Yes, I was feeling a bit disappointed until the last two episodes.

Only TV show I keep up with, unless you count the Braves.

I finally caught up with this last night. For me it seemed like it was the episode where women don't do what Don Draper wants them to do. Just another sign that his power is slipping, perhaps.

Does anyone know what song that was over the end credits? There's an instrumental version in Blow-Up, and at first I thought that was what they were playing. I never even knew there was a vocal version. As a dyed-in-the-wool Blow-Up fangirl, I'm thrilled at two references to my movie in this episode.

Why yes, yes it was! Interesting that Lovin' Spoonful is also responsible for the other non-Herbie Hancock snippet of music that didn't make it on the Blow-Up soundtrack. Antonioni must have been a fan.

I just spent the last few days watching seasons 1-4 again off Netflix. Does Betty become less self absorbed after season 4?

I really tried to like the character, but she keeps coming off as a petulant child.

I finally caught up. I really liked the ending and the final few episodes, but the first part was very meh. I can't wait for the last season.

Mad Men hits Hawaii for Season Premiere

I hear that the plot involves Pete buying an idol the natives claim is cursed, and hilarious hijinks ensue.

It took them until season six to think of it, but they finally commissioned an actual 60s commercial illustrator to make an advertising poster. Brian Sanders Creates Mad Men Poster for New Season.

Quote:
Matthew Weiner, inspired by a childhood memory of lush, painterly illustrations on T.W.A. flight menus, decided to turn back the promotional clock. He pored over commercial illustration books from the 1960s and ’70s and sent images to the show’s marketing team, which couldn't quite recreate the look he was after.

"Finally," he said, "they just looked up the person who had done all these drawings that I really loved, and they said: 'Hey, we've got the guy who did them. And he's still working. His name is Brian Sanders.'" [...]

"What it did was take me right back, about 50 years," said Mr. Sanders, who added that he was familiar enough with "Mad Men" to be in a bit of disbelief when the show came calling for his drawing board and brushes. The impressionistic image he created uses a scumbled acrylic technique that in its jazzy, textured effects instantly conjures 1960s illustration.

So I've been watching season 1 again in preparation for the season 6 premiere on April 7th (mark your calendars) and I just realized something that was probably completely obvious to everyone else but I didn't notice at all.

You know that episode where Roger eats all those oysters then has to climb the stairs to get back in time for the meeting with the Nixon people and when he finally gets there he hurls like an avalanche of oyster puke at their feet? I've probably watched this episode during marathons at least 3 times, but I never noticed until last night that Don bribes the elevator guy to LIE about the elevator being down for maintenance. He set the whole thing up, playing the good buddy, encouraging the second round of oysters, the martinis, the cheesecake, all to make Roger look at the very least sick and exhausted at the big meeting. It was revenge for Roger macking on Betty.

I guess every other time I saw it, I was distracted by Pete's return to the office with the chip-n-dip rifle so I missed those two seconds before the elevator doors close on Don asking Hollis to do something for him while he peels off bills from a roll in his pocket. Amazing.

I'm glad this thread exists because fb has apparently screwed up my news feed so that Mad Men isn't showing up saying WATCH ME like it has in previous seasons. I would be terribly annoyed not to dvr those suckers. Then, in six months I'll be able to watch them.
