Television Mad Men | SPOILERS

Betty is up there with Skylar White in terrible wives.
 
Don was getting on like a right weirdo in that episode.

Him and Ted in the plane was pretty funny.
 
That was an extremely strange episode, his behaviour was very unusual to say the least. Seriously for a guy who could pretty much pull any women in the world he wants, he picked pretty ordinary one to have an affair with didn't he?
 
i figured it had something to do with him being dominant and her being submissive, the scene was great though when she was like fock this im going home, the shame!

Watching some clips on youtube makes me want to watch the earlier seasons again.

The Carousel scene is one of my favourite of all television, it's brilliant. Well it was especially brilliant in the context, towards the end of that season, it told us so much about Don. Brilliant writing, and very well put into images.

Don's storyline is just not that interesting anymore.

What I quite like is that he seems to be somewhat at odds with everything happening around him, socially and culturally, but just doesn't seem to give a feck. Actually I think he understands what's going on and uses it to his advantage (in his business he's obliged to) but is well set in his old ways and doesn't want to move with the times.
 
Last nights episode was why I love this show. It was dark, and it was poignant, and at the same time, brilliant. Cosgrove tap dancing (:lol:) was slightly over the top but the rest was awesome. It had similarities to last season's episode with Roger on acid, but better. The scene with Sylvia in the elevator, the following conversation with Sally, and then Ted in his office were a fitting end to the episode. Brought sense to the whole discombobulation of the entire episode.

The show may be called Mad Men but it is Don's show. I like the way how the writers are unraveling him. The obsession with a women who has a mole on her cheek, Don's confusion with love and sex, his misplaced priorities, his inner rumblings - the episode revealed more and magnificently.


Crazy, brilliant, awesome.

Hands down the best written and acted show in the history of television. (IMO)
 
I've watched the first seven or eight episodes and while it's decent enough, it hasn't really grabbed me at all yet. Should I persevere?
 
No, we don't want you in this thread. Or any thread for that matter.

I wasn't really a fan of this weeks episode, I thought the Betty plotline was a poor route to go down really. Glad she's hot again, though.
 
I think what we got out of it (Don's views on sex and proximity, Betty's analysis of his relationship with Megan) was interesting, though I agree it felt a bit weird to go down that route to deal with those elements. I guess it made sense for that kind of realization to come from someone he was so close to, in a way, but still it felt a bit strange. I also thought the first scene where we saw Betty waiting for her husband to come out of the telephone box (and when the other guy was ostentatiously flirting with her) was a bit weird, as if it came out of nowhere.

Not my favourite episode of the season overall, I wasn't a fan of the Richard parts either, and the Peggy stabbing thing was surreal. However I liked the Pete moments.
 
Good summary, Rooney in Paris.

Pretty underwhelming episode. May be it was because my expectations were raised after the previous weeks brilliant episode.

The writers need to write more episodes on 'Shrooms.
