Mad Men Season 5 running thread

They could easily spin this show off with Sally, Peggy and Joan being women in the 1970s.

 

That's when the show will "jump the shark" IMHO. Jeez I hope not. We can already imagine what impact such a scene will have on a 12 yr old, we don't need to see actual confirmation.

 

Smash jumped the shark, Monday night, after threatening to do so, for weeks.

Pray MM never does.

 

Sally Draper having sex, whether we see it or not, is a twist we don't need if this show plans on concluding after seven seasons. She'd theoretically be 15 by the end. Perhaps by Season 7, I'll have a different outlook.

 

We have been given the Sally Draper self pleasuring scene, so don't be shocked to see her doing something else.

 

You can check the posts but in the first or second season of Mad Men, after a show in which Sally had a lot of scenes, someone on this board predicted she'd grow up to be a mid-to-late 70s porn star - her character, mind you, not the actress.

 

Don's reading The Fixer in bed. Any chance that Dick Whitman was really Jewish, too?

 

Fantastic episode. For all that went on, for me the payoff moment was Pete Campbell giving Megan's dad a taste. It was fantastic. Could see the set-up coming and yet he played it so well ... that's why it's impossible to entirely hate him and why he'll be running the business by the end of the show.

 

Another tremedous scene with Peggy and Don in the kitchen lab.

And Pete proves he's a schmuck again.

 

Mr. Belding!

 

Anybody seen "The Pitch" that AMC is airing? I've "picked" the loser in the first two.
And I haven't seen a Roger Sterling-type yet, but a lot of Petes.

 

Mr. Belding looked like he had a few too many Maxburgers. Or too much Cool Whip.
