Mad Men Season 4

Not sure. But his transport helicopter could always be shot down.

 

I bet half the people on sj weren't even born.

 

Hell, I was not even four yet when the great blackout of 1977 hit.

 

My parents didn't even meet until 1974.

 

I absolutely love how they have depicted the progression of the divorce. There was so much bitterness and hatred early in the season. Now, they both seem to be at least soldiering on and trying to be adults about it. Betty liked for Don to the feds. And she was happy for Sally when Don bought her the Beatles tickets. They speak to each other civilly on the phone at least some of the time, which is progress for them. Turning point seems to be Don coming to his son's birthday party.

Very, very, very realistic portrayal of a real-life divorce situation.

The pregnancy storyline is way too soap operatic for me, and the third time they've returned to the same well. Come on, Matt Weiner. You're better than that.

 

did everyone DVR Sunday's episode?

 

I watched it. Was very disappointed Don took the plunge with his secretary, though it's totally in keeping with his character. And I'm sure Megan thought she could sleep her way into a copywriting job, the way everyone assumes Peggy did.

Looks like the end is near for SCDP, though I can't imagine they'd blow up the firm two years in a row. More likely, somebody or someone saves the day in the season finale.

And yeah, it's looking more and more like Roger will take the header off the building. Bert's line about the Lucky Strike guy never taking Roger seriously because he never took himself seriously was spot-on, and Roger knows it.

 

Well, Don did get a meeting with Heinz ...

 

Is it just me, or is Megan really weird looking? To me it's just great casting, would have been easy to cast a stunning beauty in that role, but she's sort of gawky which makes the whole thing comically pathetic.

 

There is something distracting about her mouth / teeth combo.

 

She's from Montreal ---which explains almost everything you need to know.
