re: Officially hooked on Mad Men...

I think my favorite characters are Joan and Ken Cosgrove. I actually like Harry Crane too. Michael Ginsberg is also the man.

But everyone is phenomenal.

Goddam I miss new episodes of this fricking show.

i cant imagine waiting a week for the next episode

ill certainly be caught up by the time the last half season starts up so ill have to adjust

pete severe jealousy of Ken is part of the reason i dont like him through the first 3 seasons

Oh no doubt. I'm actually on Season 4 on the rewatch. Let me know where you finish tonight, and I will make sure I keep up.

im on episode 5 right now.

draper is closing in on the new blonde in the office

this series was deffinitly not made for my generation


but im a rare breed. i love a good slow paced movie or show.

one of my favorite things about mad men is they dont try to go outside their real world. they dont
make completely outrageous storylines that take you out of reality. There are moments when i think they are about to cross that line but they stay down to earth and let the characters make decisions that people would actually make.

I'm the type of guy who gets bored when movies/shows have too much action. I love great dialogue and relationships. That's what Mad Men gives you.

my friends always give me shite because i dont like the Micheal Bay CGI explosion throwup he puts up on his movies and movies in that same vein. good character development is an art

Mad Men is fantastic. Being just old enough to recall the era that marks where this show will end it fascinates me. It is a slow character study. Throws some curves.

I question whether they accelerate the lesbian story line with Peggy's friend being that open and brash. Gay men appear pretty accurate for early 60's. If you want success keep your mouth shut.

It is a cultural phenomenon. Evrything is a cycle and styles come back around but I do not know that I would know what an old fashioned is, much less be able to make a good one without this show.

There use of music at the end of each episode is perfect.

There are no "holy shite" Breaking Bad moments in this series, but there is some incredible dialogue.

If they do not clean up the Emmys like breaking bad did on their way out then the Emmys are a sham.

By the end Sally will be a favorite

i like sally a lot. amazing how much story they can get out of a child like that

i kind of feel bad for the older draper son though. he gets zero attention and is a good kid, i forget he exists sometimes

Pete makes the most miraculous 180 of any show won't tell you how or even when.

either i dont feel the same way or it hasnt come, ive been waiting for this but hes still an a-hole

Just never connected with Peggy's character.

i like her. not near the top of my favorite characters but i dont think the show would be the same without her perspective
