Who will be watching MAD MEN!?!?!?!

[TrudyCampbell]

I think it's pretty clear I am excited for this. I am exhausted but there is no way I'm waiting until tomorrow!

[kandrze1]

I am so excited! But I have to dvr it because DH is watching hockey or something tonight...

[charlielove]

I can't wait! I need to convince DH he likes this damn show so I can watch it tonight instead of tomorrow.

Oh come on, DH! It's such a man show!

[vthokie]

I really need to start watching this show. My parents love it. We finally got the right channel, so I want to watch.

[bebeetmoi]

My prediction is that she will be her own character soon. Like, removed from Don, she will have her own story lines.

Ahh I wish we were caught up to watch!! We are DVR'ing it in hopes to be caught up before the seasons over. I'm still reading these posts and would totally watch but DH won't.

I may start tomorrow. I'm taking the day off so I can take A to the Dr. Right now, it's Game of Thrones

Ugh, it's seeming like the symbolism is distracting from the story. I knew this'd happen after last seasons's end.

I agree!! 

[TrudyCampbell]

This episode is all over the place.

[charlielove]

OMG DH wants to watch the damn Academy of Country Music awards first, wwwhhhhyyyyyy! 

[bebeetmoi]

I have no idea what just happened. Knew that was coming with Don though.

[devotchka]

Oh, I totally loved it! Awesome episode. I loved that pitch and the stuff in Hawaii. Oh and of course - Oh Don! Tsk Tsk...

[devotchka]

I'm kind of surprised no one else has commented on this. Did you guys recognize Linda Cardellini as the neighbor that Don is having the affair with? My H came home today talking about how it's all over the internet - I had no idea it was her! I loved Freaks and Geeks and I knew she was a little older than the rest of that cast and haven't really seen her in much since - but I totally didn't recognize her, wow...
Also, apparently a lot of people hated this episode. I seem to be in the minority.

I didn't hate it, but I didn't think it was very cohesive. I trust that the rest will be better, though. I did think by the end of the episode that it sort of all came together a bit.

Yeah, I thought that at first too but I thought it came together at the end. By the time the bad pitch happened (and then of course the snowstorm) it all came together for me. It was a little odd that Don was so quiet at first. I thought was especially really fun/interesting seeing Peggy be her own version of Don and I loved her late night/NYE phone conversation with Stan and how all the creatives at SCDP (or is it SCD now? or something totally different? No idea) are stoned all the time now. The symbolism of Don reading Dante at the beginning was interesting too.. 

[devotchka]

Btw here is an interesting read/interpretation of the episode!

Maybe this episode was like that ad campaign that they tried to pitch for the Hawaiian hotel - a little too dark/abstract/difficult to grasp?

I don't think it was to abstract necessarily, it just didn't feel cohesive. I don't know, I'm sure it will all come together more in coming episodes.

Yeah, I am hearing that a lot today! I think it will definitely come together more in pieces later, that seems to be the way they are going w/ this season.
