Mad Men Season 5 running thread

Fat Betty

I did notice in that elevator scene with the guy who created the ad that Don left in the cab (I forget his name) that Don looked more like his early, cool asshole self when he told him that he never spends a minute thinking about him.

 

. . . thus playing the same kind of game he played as long as he could with Peggy -- so long as he could get away with it.

Don's not nearly as mentally in-tune as he was, then, and in terms of pure creative, Ginzy can write/conceive rings around Don-O, now . . .

Look out below.

 

"Manischewitz makes wine for Jews. Now they want to make it for normal people."

 

Racist WASPs of the world unite. He does this so effortlessly, I wonder if he's funny like that in real life.

I was waiting for Betty to ask Sally to ask her father what his real name is. What a miserable, fat bitch. I thought she was going to orgasm over that little bit of Thanksgiving dinner.

 

Mad Men is very good about avoiding the obviou, butafter last night I don't see how Henry Francis doesn't end up working for RFK in '68.

 

I think it's because he's obviously a Republican. A Lindsay-Rockefeller Republican, but still a Republican.

 

Silk-stocking Republican, all the way. And at this point in the show, Francis has no clue as to just how badly it's going to go for John Vliet Lindsay.

 

"Will there be murder?"

 

A perfect line

 

I would drag my balls through 100 yards of broken glass to see Jessica Pare and Peyton List touch each other. Holy shit they are hot.

Ginsberg is really growing on me, even though I don't know much about him. He was a little shithead in his job interview with Peggy last season, but he's witty and has quite the creative mind at SCDP. Don putting him in his place was straight up badass.

 

"I don't think about you at all" might go down as one of my favorite Don Draper lines ever.
