Re: Mad Men fans?

Hey Tramp how lovely to see you. It'd be great to see you back posting again. Hope you and your family are all doing fine :)

Re: Mad Men fans?

So, Don had his cathartic moment and an empathetic one too which we rarely see in Don the self absorbed. Those sobs felt real and were quite upsetting I thought. We'd waited for this and it wasn't a...

True. Coke wasn't the big bad sugary drink back then. Here in the UK it was part of the dream where we all thought everything American was fabulous! That same summer of '71 when I was 14, an American...

Re: Mad Men fans?

yes Sean i think you could be right about no more Peggy or Pete. I'd be alright with an unresolved ending. I'm not keen on things having neatly wrapped up endings, life just ain't like that. As long...

I liked it more than you I think Sean, specially Pete fighting against being headhunted then realising what a coup that job would be. I like seeing him with his little girl, he's always loved her and...

That's a long way to move to borrow some dvds :laugh:

Re: Mad Men fans?

Well we agree on The Sopranos, but I've never seen The Shield. I should check it out really as a lot of people have recommended it.

Re: Mad Men fans?

One behind as always! Watched Lost Horizons last night. I'm loving these last episodes, not least because of their visual beauty, only spoiled by the knowledge there will be no more :(
The change...

Re: Mad Men fans?

Aye, his chickens are coming home to roost that's for sure. The way he was dismissed during his presentation at McCann, being sidelined is not something he's used too. Being dropped by a woman isn't...

I'm only up to ep. 11 Time and Life so you're one ahead of me. I liked the end of Time and Life, it seemed like the beginning of the end when all the employees walked away in the middle of the staff...

Yes she's definitely Don and Betty's daughter! I've always liked Sally, she's always been her own person even when she was little.

Re: Mad Men fans?

I thought it was a particularly poignant episode for Don. I thought he looked adrift at the end. No missus, no furniture and now no apartment, and a child who is disdainful of the the very thing that...

Roger's moustache! :laugh:

Loved having them all back. Awful to think it was ok back then to treat women in the way those three guys did to Peggy and Joan - made my skin crawl. The exchange...

Really liked that last ep of the series. I love Peggy, and she was finally allowed to have her day with no sniping about her being a woman and no acting as a mom talk - in direct contrast with her...

I felt for Peggy this last ep. The girl deserves more. Her scene with Don at the end was really moving, brought a tear to me eye

It's a wonder how she's done it with parents like that, but Sally has developed into a much more mature person than her mother is

Re: Mad Men fans?

It was great wasn't it! I loved Don in the office, restless and yearning to get back, with everyone wheeling around him. Also Betty's back! Poor little Bobby, what a cold heart Betty has, her lack...
