Could she have just been terrible in the sack?


Bets really liked her washing machine spin cycle though.

Yea, thought she was a dog. However his worst bang was the homely waitress-Diana.

Because Don was an absolutely terrible person.

The scene of her looking incredible in that lingerie tells the story and shows how brilliant Mad Men could be at its best



She appears and looks amazing, very scandalous lingerie for that time I'm sure, perfect hair, perfect makeup, beautiful jewelry. It's stunning how hot she looks.

Don approaches her and says "wow" lazily and the walks past her without touching her to the bathroom. She goes over and preps the bed.

The entire scene is designed to show how little passion they have. They are having routine boring married couple sex, and the fact she's extremely gorgeous does nothing to change that.

It's shot in such a way you expect him to ravage her and instead he walks by her without even kissing her. It's jarring.

Mad Men is the most overrated show of the 2000s. Dull and duller. Couldn’t sit thru one episode.

It’s a daytime soap opera in black and white. Complete fluff.

The one that bothered me was when he was sleeping with the surgeon's wife, towards the end of the show's run.

Totally, and also as he was trying to do some dominant bondage control type stuff with her too.

Also tells me you’ve never watched a soap opera.

Because Don was a shallow ho-dog. He'd screw any woman who was decent looking at any time .

The wife was a hottie, but the school teacher he nailed did it for me.

Sorry….it was artsy fartsy bullshite. There’s a way to make period pieces fun and shoot them in a way that is interesting. Boardwalk Empire for instance


Mad Men was just a show people claimed they watch because it makes you feel like a superior TV critic. It’s as bad as Treme.

Did you just start the show? I feel like it's pretty well explained in the flashbacks by the end of Season 1.

Flicking her own nipple when masturbating did it for me…
