Is spaghetti some sort of weird motif in the fifth season?
Megan serves plain spaghetti for dinner twice, and another time she's making bolognese (at least I think that's what she said it was), presumably to eat with spaghetti.
Maybe it's just the only thing Megan knows how to cook.

She made beef bourguignon after she quit

Everything that follows after this was great too. Don and Joan going for a drink together and all.

Just finished my rewatch of S5.
When Don married Betty, he married an 8-year-old.
When he married Megan, he married a 15-year-old.

15 year olds are a lot more annoying than 8 year olds

I agree, actually.
I find Betty to be a far more sympathetic character than Megan. But I like both. As characters.

As a character I enjoy watching Betty more, but she's definitely more annoying. What's annoying about Megan really? Not a whole lot that I can think, worst thing I can think of is she can get emotional. Betty on the other hand is petulance personified.

Definitely the worst kind of canadian no doubt, but it's no filthy american.

Megan is incredibly shitty to her friends. She belittles them, talks behind their backs, and even fucks them over (as seen in the S5 finale).
Thus, why I think she acts like a 15-year-old.

Doesn't Betty do all that too. Or at least most of that and more. I'm not saying Megan is a saint but MORE annoying than Betty? Is we watching different shows. Literally 99% of everything Betty does is annoying.
I enjoy watching betty more but I can't get around that.

Best scene in the series
Betty: "I'm so sad"
Glenn: "Don't cry"
Betty: "Please, please tell me I'll be okay"
Glen: "I don't know... I wish I was older"
Betty: "I'm so sad"
Glenn: "Don't cry"
Betty: "Please, please tell me I'll be okay"
Glen: "I don't know... I wish I was older"

For everyone else that doesn't have amc, ... itunes or amazon? Is there a clear winner?
That was a fantastic scene. Sad and bizarre in a good way.Best scene in the series

While S5 wasn't my favorite, it had a particularly noteworthy three-episode run that just blew me away: "Mystery Date", "Signal 30", and "Far Away Places".
Other than S4's spectacular run (particularly the "The Chrysanthemum and The Sword", "Waldorf Stories", "The Suitcase" trio, but you can choose any three consecutive episodes for that season really), I don't think there's been a stronger triplet of episodes on television...
..except maybe from My So-Called Life ("Life of Brian" --> "Self-Esteem" --> "Pressure").

Betty had what might be my favorite moment of Season 5.

(That's the only clip I could find of it.)
January Jones might be shit on everything else, but she is fucking awesome on Mad Men. I'm still amazed by her performance in that clip.

Loved that.
Damn, I wish I had rewatched S5 now. Don't think I can fit it all in before tomorrow night :lol
And I agree about January Jones. I love watching her as Betty on MM (and she's super fine).

This is the only GIF I could find of it. (And it cuts out too early.)

iTunes quality is better, in terms of both bitrate and resolution. If you have any Apple devices, it's a no brainer. (Especially since Amazon doesn't provide a downloading solution for Macs--it's streaming through flash player only.)
iTunes is limited to Macs, PCs, Apple TV, and iDevices though. So if you want to watch through your game console or Roku, go with Amazon.

Any ideas how quickly shows typically go up on iTunes after airing?
It's just...her people are Nordic.

I've suspected this, so I'm glad you answered. I'll go with itunes then. Now that they seem to have included the option to download shows manually, it shouldn't be too painful this time around (season 5 had me waiting several days).

Yeah, that's a horrible tumblr gif. I made you a new one.
You're awesome!
Shit, just noticed your avatar. Gold. Pure gold. Such a bizarre/fascinating character.

Agreed. She may be an extremely limited actress but she was made to play Betty Draper.
Whoa, that preview has some crazy spoilers. Both episodes are ruined for me.
Agreed. Unfortunately I doubt she will ever get another role like this, but she's great as Betty.
Also TONIGHT OMG!
oh boy this Sunday is getting too crowded now
but ain't nothing taking the place of my MAD MEN. All other shows can bow down before its splendor and get the fuck out of the way. I'll TiVO the rest of them bitches if I have to.
But man TV is crowded
starting next week, the following shows will have my attention somehow ->
The Borgias
Game of Thrones
Vikings
Mad Men
how to split the time! At least Justified just ended

Yeah, those three eps saved the season for me. Signal 30 might be my favorite of the entire series.
