SCM (and others) Mad Men last night -spoilers within

[5kcandlesinthewind]

Did you watch it? What did you think?

I didn't really expect a lot, because the season premieres are usually just set-up for the rest of the season. It was so dark though. And kind of depressing.  

I didn't even realize that Linda Cardellini was the chick Don's sleeping with until I read it on another message board! I am not ok with Lindsay Weir being old enough to have a kid in college. Mostly because I think LC and I are the same age in real life, heh.  They did an excellent job of aging her up, though, because she was unrecognizable.

I did like that Betty showed some actual depth, though I wish she'd spend half as much energy on her own kids.  I am starting to think that between his mother and his wife, Henry Francis is some kind of saint. (Though he did hit on a hugely pregnant married woman.)  I hope Megan's soap opera career keeps her off-screen a lot.  I loved Peggy and Stan on the phone, and the return of Choaaaaouggggggh.  

It'll be interesting to see where they go from here, though.

I didn't mind the episode, because I loved that it was dark. The show is not going to be all puppies and rainbows, folks!

I love that don was cheating again. And I liked the Betty development, too. I was quite touched that she went looking for Sandy.

I just finally watched it yesterday and liked it. No major revelations for me, I mean the season opener is always more of a primer for how the rest of the season will go. Roger's therapy sessions were pretty funny though.
