[cory64]

That shade

 

[JCizzle]

Great dig at Henry

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

The music!

 

[Trigger]

Fantastic episode overall.

 

[PBY]

The music!

So good

 

[HoJu]

What song is it

 

[lamaroo]

Bobby's going to get drunk off of the fumes here.

:lol

 

[Cornballer]

Weiner grits his teeth as AMC plays a promo over his carefully selected music.

 

[Emarv]

That Sterling in bed shot.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

One of the funniest promos in a long time. Roger lying there then it cuts to don taking a sip. Then him about to sit down.

LOOKS LIKE A DOOZY NEXT WEEK.

 

[Leona Lewis]

What is this? I need my immediate re-run.

 

[ari]

Holyshit that ep was really well pace.

 

[Grisby]

AMC has to know how hilarious these mad men previews are.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Thought this episode was pretty weak sauce. Not impressed.

 

[Black Mamba]

On the Next episode of Mad Men:

Pete swigs a drink
Megan sighs
Joan humphs
Don smokes a cig

Next week at 10PM EST

who said this episode was going to suck

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Holyshit that ep was really well pace.

it really was great. Felt long, didn't cram too much in yet it felt significant. Great pacing.

 

[Nobility]

On the Next episode of Mad Men:

The network has truly perfected the art of teasing the same, week by week.

 

[ari]

Wait, is this a AMC show or a sundance channel show?

 

[Koodo]

This episode was heavy. I need to re-watch to digest it better.

 

[Fatalah]

In that final shot, got the feeling that is Don ready to stop his downward spiral at work.

 

[Leona Lewis]

This episode was heavy. I need to re-watch to digest it better.

Indeed, sis. Which is why this cockblocking Sundance swine is making me so angry.

NEED TO REWATCH NOW

My visceral reaction is that it's my least favorite episode of the season so far.

 

[lazybones18]

Anyone else experience an audio sync problem as soon as Don was outside on the balcony?

 

[Bladenic]

NEED TO REWATCH NOW

It's supposed to be good. Deal with it.

What song is it

I'm wondering the same thing, it was soo gud.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

neyopeee

 

[SpudBud]

Harry continues to look and act like a jackass.

 

[Grisby]

Yeah, was an enjoyable episode.

[GoldenEye 007]

Bobby Kennedy was killed.

Edit: Oh, MLK. I swear it was Kennedy but I guess that's because of the guy mentioning Kennedy. My mistake.

I know this is really late...

This threw me off too. But my history knowledge kicked in and RFK was doing a campaign speech at the time of the death of MLK. He announced it to his crowd which happened to be a mostly black one. I think him announcing it helped to accelerate the news.

I don't know exactly what Paul Newman said during the event. But RFK was killed like two months after MLK. So I'm sure that will be touched on shortly in the show.

 

[NYR]

Mad Men episodes that interweave timely events are always well paced and the pinnacle of this show, IMO. The best this season, so far.

I think last week's was better, but this was second best, probably. Episode 3 has been the weakest.

 

[royalan]

DANG DARNIT!

My DVR didn't record the first minute or two of the episode.

Can some kind gaffer tell me what happens at the beginning of the episode. My DVR started recording right when Bobby's scratching at the wallpaper in his room. ;___;

It opens with Peggy and Abe looking at a nice new apartment with their agent, and the next scene is Bobby peeling the wall paper.

Thanks!

 

[brianjones]

[Cornballer]

"I don't think anyone is in the mood."
"It's quite the opposite. Now is the time when a man and a woman need to be together the most. In a catastrophe! In the Flood, the animals went two by two. You, you're going to get on the Ark with your father?"
"I can find my own girls, ok?"
"Ok. I'll bring you a sandwich."

 

[PBY]

Neighbor as in just upper east, not in the same building or anything. I doubt anything would have come from it, especially not now since she didn't get the apt and her man doesn't wanna live there.

 

[Koodo]

Peggy lost the bid for the apartment


Edit: oh.

im just trying to find something interesting in this episode i guess

 

[Cornballer]

what did that newspaper cover say

I didn't catch it at the time, but it was a promotional paper that they put out with Planet of the Apes when it came out.

 

[royalan]

YASSSS TRUDY! Stay STRONG Gerl!! You know he ain't changed!

 

[Zeus Molecules]

Thanks cause i read the headlines and had no idea of the context of it

Amazing

 

[lazybones18]

Caught the end of the repeat and the same audio sync issues again (sliding door and lighter sounds aren't matching up to what's on screen)

- Sepinwall's review

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I love Pete's outrage tonight. That was one of the best parts only because I couldn't imagine anything ever occurring where I would think he was a bossssss.

 

[Bladenic]

Not sure why everyone is so surprised at Pete, he delivered quite the lashing at Roger for his racism against the Japanese in S5.

 

[jett]

Those are some really terrible fat prosthetics/makeup on Betty.

Episode was okay, not much happened.

 

[brianjones]

yeah and he looked disgusted at Rogers black face in s3

he's been consistently progressive on that front

Those are some really terrible fat prosthetics/makeup on Betty.

Episode was okay, not much happened.

im tired of fat betty

i thought she was gonna be skinny again based on the promo pics

maybe by the end of season

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Not sure why everyone is so surprised at Pete, he delivered quite the lashing at Roger for his racism against the Japanese in S5.

it's not surprising, he has always been painted as the liberal but it's surprising given the mega amounts of douchery. Hard to process. It's almost like he adopted the forever douche persona but for a second tonight we were reminded that there's more to him.
