This week's Mad Men
« on: September 22, 2009, 11:42:28 am »
If you watched on Sunday, all I have for you is this.

This season is so jarring with the tonal shifts, but it's a lot of fun.

Brutal.

I'm very interested to see where the Conrad Hilton angle goes.

For those of us that didn't watch, what the hell was that?

That was a Bristish Ad-Exec's ankle being run over with a John Deere riding lawnmower.

AMC is showing all the episodes from the new season on Sunday.  I'm going to have to catch up.

Agreed.  I wonder if Don's going to get an offer to go in-house with Hilton...one of the themes this season seems to be people's opportunities outside of Sterling Cooper. i.e. Peggy at Duck's agency, Joan as a sorta-housewife, Pete and Kenny's competition which could end with one of them leaving, etc.

I've watched the show a couple of times since its inception but don't seem to connect with it.  What am I missing?

He will never play golf again.

That scene really came out of nowhere.

Not sure, maybe try renting season 1 and watch the first few episodes.  It's hard to get in to a show in the middle of a season, for me at least.  It's probably my favorite show right now.  I didn't watch it the first couple of seasons, mainly because I figured if it was on AMC it couldn't be that great.  I was wrong, it's right up there with the best HBO dramas.

Crazy Joe McCluskey was fucking nuts.  It's why they called him Crazy Joe.

a friend of mine spent 10 minutes explaining to me
the symbolic foreshadowing that was involved with the john deere scene
in relation to president kennedy's assassination

after all that, i felt bad telling him i had never seen the show
and had to promise to give it a chance
