Anyone watch tonight's Mad Men yet? (Spoilers)

[Lavender Brown]

Peggy... why??? :puke:

[AwakeAtLast]

1. I did

I still have the shivers.... :scared: About as bad as spraying blood with a John Deere! ;)

And what the hell was Don thinking, anyway?

[Lavender Brown]

3. I don't know, but he was so evil to Peggy in this episode that I was almost happy

he got drugged and beaten by that draft-dodging punk. :P

[Tuesday Afternoon]

2. did you notice the date Don signed the contract?

July 23, 1963.....

this show just gets better and better.

[darkstar]

4. Meaning behind date?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. what is getting ready to happen ,,,later that year...

and I wonder how the show will have it affect the characters.

I think Peggy is the female version of Don ..........

[Lavender Brown]

6. I think I read that the show's creator

said he didn't want the show to deal with JFK assassination very much, because it has been done so much on tv/movies. Don't know how they could totally ignore it though.

[Bucky]

11. Except Don picks the right women.

Betty is exactly what he needs--a woman who demands he puts down roots and is trying to get him to share his life instead of compartmentalizing. He even picks classy mistresses.

Peggy is still picking men who she can dump with no cost to herself. Her only mistake was Pete. Note her line, "Stop coming in here and infecting me with your anxiety." Yes, Peggy, his anxiety... and his sperm.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. Peggy is ad smart and men dumb.

This was really stupid because she just shit where she eats. Dumb. Peggy. Dumb.

and Betty has fantasies of her own............

[BuelahWitch]

7. Would people hate Duck as much if he hadn't dumped his dog

out on Madison Avenue? I used to kind of feel sorry for him, especially when his wife and kids visited him and let him know he wasn't really missed around the house. But then he got rid of Chauncey and I was just DONE!

[Arugula Latte]

8. Was the hillbilly hallucination supposed to represent his father?

I missed a few "Don's mysterious background" episodes so I'm confused.

[Bucky]

10. Yes, it was his father (same actor).

Season three's moving slow enough that you won't miss too much by missing this year's eps. This is really about Don being in power because, I think, his father was a powerless man.

[question everything]

16. This episode was confusing with the flash forward and back

It was only when the program ended and started over, immediately, that we noticed that Betty is lying down in the sofa that the guy from the governor office recommended. Later.

[Bucky]

9. She always picks the wrong man.

Ha ha. Duck's at least quit drinking again. And it's not like he romanced her. He was all, "Baby, I'm gonna drag you into the bed room and cook you up brown." And she totally fell for it.

By the way, I continue to point out how the writers of Mad Men never waste a single word in their dialog. There's a clue to Duck in how he said "lock the door" in his naughty little proposal. I'm convinced Peggy's gonna get pregnant again, if not this time, then soon enough.

She doesn't want what she can't have, she wants what she shouldn't have. But the best knock down of this week was Don being forced to sign the contract. Betty totally nailed him on his failure to commit to it. It's not about holding the power, it's about having the power to run away again.

[Taverner]

12. I totally get Peggy - she's breaking the rules because she, for once in her life, can

She is out of that horrible religious home she came from, away from her loathing sister and mother.

And she's on her own - she can make the bad decision, but for once in her life its her decision.

Its her way of saying "FUCK YOU I DON'T WANT YOU TELLING ME WHAT TO DO ANYMORE"

[rbnyc]

13. But she was also trying to reclaim power...

...because Don had dressed her down. She's going to become a sex addict that way.

[question everything]

14. Peggy wants to be like Don - in all aspects

I hope that she won't end up looking for Mr. Goodbar.

[LynneSin]

15. I haven't watched it yet. Usually I watch all the Mad Men episodes on a cold, snowy weekend

For awhile it was on during some of my favorite HBO shows, but I do think it's a very well done show.
