Mad Men Season 5 running thread

Draper's still barely tolerating Harry. I figure he's going to put Harry in his place within the next three weeks.

 

UK Rolling Stones 1964 Rice Krispies Jingle:

 

That's terrible. Led Zeppelin scoffs.

 

Nice grab.

 

Can't see Harry getting canned. Who's going to do Harry's job without a break-in period?

 

Not bad, just slow. The episodes have been great, just not as fast-paced as in past seasons.

 

Has any television show (other than a soap) really had a main character be in two different marriages like Don Draper? Seems like divorced people on television shows get divorced and they stay single. In Draper's case, he gets re-married. It's more true to life, given his age, but I think it's actually a bold choice that not many other shows ever take.

I guess given the long lapses of time between seasons, it allows Weiner to do that.

 

Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy had quite a few main characters in multiple marriages.

 

He and Joan shared an office for a while and she was doing all the work...

 

Boy, they really made it look like ol' January spent way too much time in Bobby Flay's kitchen, huh?

 

Overall, I think the episode set up the rest of the season nicely.

 

The first on-screen simultaneous appearance by the former Mrs. Draper and the current Mrs. Draper is going to be awesome. I wonder if Betty will still be fat.
