I really enjoy how the mains have developed; characters that I had pigeonholed within the first few episodes continue to to surprise me, and no one is really quite as they seem. I agree... some lesser characters like Harry, or Bert Cooper, have grown on me. I'm also really looking forward to Pete's storylines next season. Ben, you'd sell yourself over the river for Don Draper, and don't you forget it! There's something disturbingly alluring about the way he objectifies women. I try not to read into it too much.
It's sell down the river, right? Ben is now a woman and a slave?

I dunno, but it seems like a reference that there is a cartoonist or something in the first episode that's name David Cohen and seems awfully nerdy.
Futurama reference, anyone?

Bump! Missed last week's episode. Highlights (mostly from tonight): - It's interesting to see Peggy become more assertive, both at work an in her personal life, but it seems so sudden. What's especially odd is how she nows appears to be a magnet for the fellas... Smitty, Kinsey's "friend", the engineering student from last week's episode.
- Betty's father is an odd, sometimes amusing character. Love the booze-dumping and potato-peeling flashbacks, even if they are a sign of his mental decline. His relationship with Sally is an odd one, but then again, she's an absurdly precocious little girl. Also, he looks like John McCain.
- We learn where Don is from... Appalachian Pennsylvania. Any significance?
- Roger's daugher has set her wedding for the day after the Kennedy assassination. I wonder if that could put a damper on the occasion.
- We get hints as to what sort of doctor Joan's husband is (lung surgeon? thoracic surgeon?), as well as the fact that he may not be very good at it. Hmm.
- Pete and Trudy can do a damn fine Charleston... that was hysterical. Why would they know it so well? I swear, I don't think their parents are old enough to have done it.
- Apparently everyone finds blackface funny except Don and Pete.
- Nobody likes Jane, and for good reason. She sucks.
So, speculate away on what happens next week! I'm forgetting some of what I saw in the preview.

I was surprised to see Mad Man (and Firefly) star Christina Hendricks on the front page of my newspaper this morning, a (female) government minister cited her as a role model as she refused to lose weight to gain roles.

This show breaches the line from pure entertainment and transcends television into a fucking art form. I love the way they choose to play their moments, the way it's partly a serialised drama and partly a collection of vignettes, the thematic links interwoven through each individual episode and story, and how each season has its own theme and story on top of that, which it all plays into. It's pure genius and never, EVER underestimates its audience.  On a side note, I am shocked and dismayed that, after 6 seasons, this thread is still on page one. Shame on you, PEEL. Shame on You.  On a more relevant side note, did you guys hear the final season is being split into two?

I need to binge it before the premiere. My mom loves it, so I watched the Pilot and it seems interesting.
