Mad Men

Season 4 premiered tonight. I would have bumped the season three thread but I titled it "season 3," which no longer seems appropriate.

Who saw it? It was a stupendous hour of television. All sorts of shit has happened in the eleven months that have passed (in-story) between the formation of Sterling Cooper Draper Price and the beginning of season 4. The premeir was stepped in the juices of the sexual revolution. It also had a lot to say about the increasing role of the media in the success or failure of things. It was great to see Don fail a little bit, and it was exciting to consider the future implications at the end of Don crafting a public/media persona that is completely unlike his actual personality.

The "Media Guy" is essential to ad agencies beginning in the late 60's (and of course, indispensable today), so for me, I'd have liked to see more of his character as opposed to Don's former family.
I keep waiting for the show to get around to Harry's eventual takeover of agency importance but it doesn't happen. I'm guessing he'll be something like king shit by the time the finale ends.

That answers that.

You all realize the entire show was a figment of Dick Whitman's imagination as he lies dying in Korea.

And then she thought the check was a practical joke or something AFTER he made a point that he'd take care her financially.

There's a reason why nobody likes the Quebecois.

Everyone is proving to be shallow and phony. Maybe Winer's intention is to make the audience revile everyone but Don by the time the series is over.

On a side note, a friend shared some pics of Hamm the night before he entered rehab and good grief, what a disaster. That coupled with the revelation that he severely beat a kid during a hazing incident is really hurting his public persona.

I can imagine that playing Don Draper would drive one to drink. Hell, the show makes me feel okay about drinking more than normal when I'm immersed in it (I binge watched the series over a month last year) because they normalize it so much. I've actually thought to myself "i don't drink that much. I mean. At least not like those guys on Mad Men."

I could maybe see that in the begonia but seven years later? Personally, I think it's because Mad Men is coming to an end and every thing else Hamm has done has been met with disinterest.
