Mad Men Open Thread: Season 6, Episode 9

Mad_Men_Season_6_PromotionaThis season is in full swing. My heart is still racing after last week’s drug induced episode. I’ve been in the habit of watching the new episode twice in a row, but I just couldn’t last week. I’m interested to see if there are any ramifications for Don’s actions last week. The most redeeming part of last week was the Peggy/Stan kiss.

Classes didn’t start till the evening, but I had to be at my tutoring gig by noon. I had an hour commute via CTA, so I knew I needed to leave the apartment by 11. I’d be up by 9, let myself do a bunch of bullshit internetting, make a real breakfast, dilly dally about what I was going to wear that day and what have you. I think I mostly liked the idea of watching late morning TV – back then I’d watch 2 hours of ER. Continue reading

Mad Men Post Mortem: Man with a Plan

MM_607_MY_0122_0800So, we got some of our questions from last week answered, but were left with a few others. Like, where the hell is Dawn? What is this new agency calling itself? We still had a lot going on this week, but it wasn’t as BAG! BOOM! POW! as last week’s episode. At least it wasn’t like that for me.

WARNING: All spoilers, all the time. Continue reading
