Don't recall terribly enjoying the episode Hamm directed last season.
Slattery's episodes have been pretty great though.

Finally sat and watched the premiere on my DVR. I loved it. Incredibly morbid as I'm sure has been discussed a ton already in this thread, but wow. At least a reference to death in almost every scene.
January Jones was great, so glad Peggy's back to being a major character (at least it seems like that's the case). Though even though I usually prefer brunettes, I'm not totally sold on Peggy as one.

I had to look up which one it was from last season.
Oh man, Roger and Harry at the Stones concert was a great scene. And the introduction of Ginsberg

Just watched the premiere last night.
Also, as far as the vacations of Don Draper go, California>>>Hawaii. I'm hoping out hope for a return of Claus the doctor.
They took every opportunity to show Megan with little to no clothes on. Is this season the fall of Don Draper? That was a good dynamic they had with the doctor being in awe of Don's profession and all of the glamour, while Don was in awe of the Doctor and all of his responsibility.

There isn't even really a point to worry about spoiler that it seems. This is the only show at times where I am not worried to get spoiled by tv spots or anything. Such vague points that are funny and make the show even better.

I understand that Mad Men and Weiner rarely (if ever) spoil anything in promos and loglines. Nonetheless, in an attempt to be consistent across OT's and not get into a situation where I'm subjectively deciding what I think is a spoiler, I just tag all of them and request other people do that same. Hope that makes sense even in the face of it seeming a little silly in this case.

I assumed that spoiler tagging makes it even better. It is the Mad Men way.

Heh, yeah. There's also the added bonus that a few of us find it amusing, as well.
If I recall correctly, the episode he directed was the worst.
Let me adjust my expectations tonight.

The description sounds identical to last week. And almost every week from now on I bet.

The scene with Betty in the streets of New York is indicative of the decadence of the city in the 70's.
yeah it reminded me of mean streets
it was a really amazing set design, especially combined with the outside shot in the cold.

I like it :lol
This actually contains more info about tonight's episode than the official synopsis. Matthew freaking Weiner.

So, I've been watching season 1 again, after like 5 years. It's remarkable how consistent the quality has remained, while the characters change so much. The pilot feels completely out of place though, but it's a pilot.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Yeah, I'm glad they cut the stupid transitions with generic music after the pilot. It really is amazing to do a rewatch and be dumbfounded at how much each character has changed or developed.
That AV club description is hilarious.
If you guys like podcasts these guys do a pretty good job. They provide personal and fan insight while also using people like Sepinwall for context while recapping an episode. 601 & 602 The Doorway Mad Men Happy Hour
