During my last rewatch I wanted to do a large list of every one of Drapers conquests and then do a tournament on this board to see who comes out on top

The more serious the relationship in the show, the higher the seed.

Megan draper could be an early upset candidate for me

He was my first realization that the show would never go in the direction I thought it would. Early on he's so hateable that you're waiting for something terrible to happen so we can see his comeuppance. Then it doesn't come. He just changes as a person slowly.

Found that was the case with most characters. You're always expecting that explosive TV moment, it never comes but the character just continues to change slowly, like real people.

I'm pretty sure thats what Matthew W. wanted this series to be about in someway. Which is why I liked it in the end.

Into S2 so far. I like it okay to watch leisurely but not at binge or cigar level yet.


I'll say this - it took me two tries to binge to catch up with the show (I think it was in S3 at that point) - I didn't keep up and didn't end up finishing all of it until I got Mrs. Midnight to watch with me.

Suffer through the first about season and a half IIRC. It finally picks up into the 3rd season and is great.

Jon Hamm alone is worth watching it for.

Just finished the series for the first time. Great show. loved the finale, although I thought the last-minute forced confession of love by Peggy and Stan was lame - wish they hadn't of just shoved that in the finale.

Loved Don meditating into a Coke commercial, was really hoping they'd pan over to him directing it but was good nonetheless.

Still one of the best scenes is the British exec getting his foot run over by the lawnmower.

I had a liking to Rachel Menken for some reason.

She's just got that thing.
