Mad Men Thread (Season 3 begins 8/16 on AMC)

i have faith that don’s gonna pull it back together. the best parts of the episode were roger’s flashbacks and the quick con that don pulled to get his job, if you missed it check, the look/smirk don has in the last scene as the elevator closes lol.

Dude didn’t know what day it is and was sleeping with (at least) 2 women with no memory. I just hope he brings it back.

What I wonder is when Draper is finally going to get the psychologist chick. She’s smart so she’s a tough customer, but you know she attracted to him so it’ll break eventually.

Yeah that was too good.

BTW, did anyone find it weird that Don kissed Joan on the lips when he won that award? That was just weird to me, seeing as they have always kept it super-professional with her.

I actually missed the smirk on Don’s face in the elevator, my wife had to point it out to me. This is one of the best seasons of this show yet…

yeah i kinda raised my eyebrow at the kiss with joan, but they were all pretty wasted (even for them) and it was a huge moment for the firm signified by them all holding hands underneath the table like little kids.

i want to know is that chick gonna come back to bite don in the ass considering she was clearly gunning for him, he blacked out for a day and the chick he woke up with knew him as “dick” instead of “don”.

I think that was just the first sign that they were all getting sauced up… more than normal. I thought the hold hand holding scene was just a sign as to how integral Joan was to the company… she doesn’t do a lick of advertising related work, but the company would have fallen apart multiple times without her.

Don had sex with one woman. Not two. He got super drunk and thought she was hot. At least that was that I got out of it and was why I thought it was so funny.

Why do you all hate Pete? He got it IN last episode. FUCK YOU KEN.

what? noooo… Doris acknowledged the previous woman… Don draper got blackout drunk, fucked the brunette, took her to a diner, picked up Doris (as Dick Whitman no less) and brought her back home.

Apparently he was blackout drunk all through Saturday with Doris…

Oh, oh okay, he picked up the woman mcnulty style. That is also hilarious. Equally hilarious. Oh Don.

Finished watching the first season the other day, now I’m on Season Two.

Gotta say that Carousel monologue really got to me, and the reveal on Don’s past was fucking crazy.

I guess that would be an indicator, I just found the whole thing weird. I knew the significance of the hand holding, it was a sign of mutual reassurance (which I loved). The mutual kiss just surprised me because I though Joan would flinch at the advance due to being married.

It wasn’t an advance. I read it as how important this award was to Don, despite how much he denied it.

Peggy is the shit. I mean she’s been that way for a long time now, but I mean, it’s especially obvious here. Hope nothing happens to her next episode…though I’d guess that’s just a misdirection.

Don’s unraveling is interesting.

Feel so sorry for the Liston betters…

lol Draper with the missed peggy defense haymaker ftl

another great episode… i really dont have anything to complain about this show.

lol at duck trying to take a shit in don’s office…granted he was in roger’s, dude is such a hot mess. if anything this episode showed that don actually does do work, despite being a fucking tank.

roger talking about alcoholics was mad funny. “did you know he killed a kid with his boat? that’s the type of thing that you need a drink for!”

also roger’s book recordings were crazy.

oh and the line of the episode goes to don’s old ass secretary, “if i wanted to see 2 negroes fight i’d drop a dollar on the street.” damn near choked on my turnip greens & chicken when i caught that shit lol

^XD at Don’s secretary, though the whole episode made me nostalgic for the time Boxing was THE premier sporting event

/grumble

finally caught up.

lol at Duck calling Peggy a whore and then expecting her to roll with him just cuz he got the drop on Don

this show is so fuckin good.

i really hope Don doesn’t fuck Peggy:nono:

hearing that duck killed 14 men in okinawa kinda made me forgive his alcoholism…too bad he’s still a douche.

thinking about it though, it must’ve been crazy living back then when just about every middle aged guy was a war hero.

"If I wanted to see two Negros fight I’d throw a dollar bill out my window."
That new secretary is too good!

“Why are you shitting on this”

lol.

Peggy has now taken the place of Don’s only true friend. He won’t sex her. OR MAYBE HE WILL!!!

I just realized that Don’s new secretary is the mom from the original Karate Kid! :wow:
