When I'm watching the intro I keep wondering if one of the characters will eventually leap to their death out of their office window
- the gay one willLlyod
- There’s a gay one? Don’t spoil it for me! I’m not through season 1 yet!!!!!!MrOneHundred
- all I'll say is that he's in the closetLlyod
- they were hinting at it from the very episode 1rafalski

it was a trade-off i guess since they've introduced some great characters since

I though the season ender was awesome. I hope the next season follows up with as good as material as this one.

He most definitely not face his past, he told 2 little kids that he goes by dick. he didnt say thats my real name, im not who you think i am.
"whos dick?" "well thats me, thats my nickname sometimes"
Thats like me telling my parents i go by sofakingbanned.
Its a start I guess... Im sure sally will later ask him about it, so he will have to elaborate at some point... but it wont be the truth i'll put monies on it.Make no mistake Don is still very much running from his past, getting married Megan is like a recovering alcoholic pounding a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Feye is the truth, Megan is the enabler (without her knowing of course)
Feye is a female Don? how? The only thing they have in common is that they are strong and dedicated to their work. Shes not an over indulger, shes not hiding from her past or in denial about who she is and unlike don she has the balls to face her problems / reality.
i don't get where you're going with artistic person? As designer i think we know that being with an artistic person isn't always a sure match. you need someone that challenges and inspires you... they don't have to be artistic themselves to do that.Don't get me wrong i love Dons charter but when the shit hits the fan he's a coward, he's shown it time and again. Remember when Pete found out who he was??? going to Rachael place talking about lets run away? what kind of man does that?
But for the sake of the show and entertainment going with feye would not be the right choice, choosing megan is the right choice in making the show more interesting and not ending what we've come to love.
I don't mean to bust your bubble but that relationship is not gonna last, no way he ends up with her.
but I guess everyone has their own point of view.
- Megan said she was an "artistic person" who "dabbled" in painting, acting, etc. I wrote it tongue-in-cheek.raf
- ...and I wrote Don will find his real self is being a Dick, which he'll dramatically get to in next season.raf
- In real life Megan would be perfect. For TV drama and story development Faye would prolly be better.raf
- What??? lol dude you're crazy. shes a perfect mistress, not a wife.sofakingbanned
- yeah but have you seen her boobS?pastpastdue
- ( , ) ( , )sofakingbanned
- She's actually so much better wife material than Faye. Megan seems to have her shit together, Faye is always ...raf
- ...on the verge of an emotional explosion. It could be the actress, not the character though :)raf
- Megan believes the myth that is 'Don Draper' and idolises it. Faye was trying to encourage Don to destroy the myth.lukus_W
- Don took the more comfortable option .. and could be considered chicken-shit for doing so.lukus_W
- Megan is the closet to what Betty _used_ to be like, but better. Why wouldn't he since he does miss having a family (when it suited him).ETM
- ...when it suited him.ETM

'Gammera the Invincible' came out in 1966. This episode took place on the eve of 1965. Jussayin'.

There is that one script typeface on one of the sign/ads in the intro that annoys the balls off of me! It’s the one blemish on a perfectly art-directed universe.

^ yeah, that was brilliant; a really nice cut (to the comedy club) too. I think the editing is brilliant .. some of the cuts during that night out were superb .. hard cuts / kind of reinforcing the sense a person has when remembering back on the night before.
Maybe Mad Men isn't the sopranos, but I think it's got a lot going for it.

yeah, it is definitely not an action packed show. i kept waiting for some kind of dramatic storyline to develop during the first season but it never did. but in a way I would say that makes it better, even though it takes a while to get into. it is more about exploring the characters and their day to day lives and the time period than trying to score an easy win with the viewers.
- there are supposed to be more fight scenes and explosions this seaon.mcLeod

A really good interview with the show’s creator.

I missed that Betty had the affair!! With the horse guy? I thought it was just her friend who did. WOW! So what symbolism can we take from the fact that she then gives her daughter the riding boots as a present for “becoming such a big girl”?
The layers, THE LAYERS!!!
- No she doesn't bang that guy....
have you seen the last episode? I don't wanna spoil it anymore than I have.sofakingbanned - I have watched it. Who’d she, as you put it, “get nailed” by?MrOneHundred
- The guy at the bar. Remember? Did you get some popcorn and miss that scene?sofakingbanned
- Which guy at which bar? Season Finale, right? WTF?MrOneHundred
- yea... episode name "Meditations In an Emergency" I have it if you wanna see it again hahahasofakingbanned
- shit, now you have me second guessing myself, that was the final episode right???sofakingbanned
- I have it. Maybe it got cut out, or I was really tired. I’ll watch it again tonight. Thanks.MrOneHundred
- The scene is about min. 22
aaahh F it just watch the thing again, its good.sofakingbanned
- No she doesn't bang that guy....

Rachel (dont know if its just the character, I would be all over her)
Trudy (Shes not a big character but man is she hot)
Joan (come on ya gotta love red, shes got curves for days)
Midge (terribly sexy women)
Betty (beautiful face and a knockout body to boot)
Hmmmmm... I just named the leading lady last. well it doesn't surprise me my taste is usually not the most common.
- i don't find midge or rachel very attractive but i guess i don't like odd noses._salisae_
- there is a bit of a nose thing going on there.MrOneHundred

You haven't heard? QBN doesn't like to do things half way. It's all or nothing around here.

I don’t recognise any of them out of costume. I have a real thing for the period portrayed in this show.

I thought it was a bit of a let down. Peggy saves the day with a quarter of a million dollar client? I thought they were way more in the hole than that.
- they also have the cancer charity thing I guess .. and the firings / putting in funds gave them 6 months.lukus_W
- I think the main importance was breaking the streak and creating some momentumacrossthesea
- I was really hoping to see the company hit rock bottom before rising from the ashes. Missed potential.ETM

The show is just a soap opera. Too many characters and spread too thin to care.
And if matters, when was the last time they showed any work? What does the office actually do besides fight?
