Mad Men returns. Thumbs up or down?

The Rosen kid joins the Ohio National Guard and shoots Sally at Kent State. That's how the show ends.

 

Even if they do, Sally won't be old enough to enter the industry, even by the Traci Lords standard. And Kiernan Shipka is one of the few young actresses who actually plays older than she is, so pushing ahead too far would be a big disadvantage for her.

Weiner: "It’s just not part of the show. No one’s going to die."

Someone's going to die.

 

"Who hired you, Phony Résumé Guy who makes me uncomfortable when you rub your leg against mine?"

"You did."

"Oh. Uh, well, um, er, behave. Stop touching me. Get that Spaniard to stop touching Mommy. And work hard alongside me, but not too close, and make me proud, Tiger!"

 

Or just get his eye shot out.

 

That was amazing.

 

Weiner's son has the weird ability to become a worse and worse actor the older he gets. Kind of like the kid who played Mark on Home Improvement.

Oh, and "You found a hooker who takes traveler's cheques?"... "Why did I tell you that?" exchange is in the running for best of the season.

 

I know I'm pretty much the only one, but I love Glen or, more precisely, what Glen brings out in Sally.

 

I should elaborate. I love episodes Glen appears in. I loved the episode where Sally meets him in the city from last season. They seem to insert him at major milestones in Sally's life. I just don't think the kid can act. His part is small enough that I can overlook it.

Also (and this is a whole other thought here): They're positioning Pete to be one of the heroes of the show by the end of Season 7, I believe. He's learning from his past mistakes right now. He could actually do what Don has failed to do - adapt. I'd love it if that were the case. Pete is a guy I've wanted to root for for a long time.
