Acting, I think. She mentions in the S4 finale that she wanted to be an actress and then gave it up when people told them her pearly whites were too big.

"Thanks, Coldengrey12!"

You're welcome, Coldengrey12.

This is awesome. Apologies on the double post.

I'd have had Pete Campbell pegged as Glass Joe.

I'm betting we see more of Julia Ormond. That seems like an inordinate amount of heavy weight for a one-shot guest appearance on Mad Men.

It's the law of economy of character development. You don't throw a bunch of money at an actor/actress you're not going to use.

Although, when Lost brought in Michelle Burke, I thought for sure they were going to end up using her for more than just her introductory episode, and they didn't. I'm not fully comparing her with the likes of Ormond, but I thought she was big enough to not bother having her just for that role.


and it cracks me up how blatant they made it that she was blowing Roger, with the full on her head going straight up and down so clearly

Signing a lease for an office for my business next week. First purchases? A bar cart and whiskey decanter... Thank you Mad Men for inspiring me.

Now you just need to hire some secretaries.

Doubtful the wife would allow it, although if I did she most certainly wouldn't have a horse mouth.

Everyone thinks Megan is so hot, but that mouth detracts from any potential attractiveness, at least for me.

[MPizzle06]

I thought of nothing but the horse mouth at first, but now barely notice it. I don't like her speech and mannerisms, even though her body is

[stully1]

Her awkwardness is definitely apparent, which is why Don liked her in the first place, I think.

[junior94]

so FYI, looking at the new Entertainment Weekly mag there's a bit talking about how an episode of Inside The Actors Studio in a couple weeks will be the Mad Men cast, it appears as though it's only Jon Hamm, January Jones, John Slattery, Christina Hendricks and Kiernan Shipka included. But damn there's a quote here from Lipton saying he had the group on stage for almost 6 hours, yet the episode will still be the usual 60 minutes (they have with some big guests in the past done a 2 hour version). um, can we like get a directors cut on this one?

I don't find her that hot at all, honestly... I'd still fuck her, it's just that there are thousands of girls I'd rather fap to.

Happy Derby Day! Who is celebrating Roger Sterling style by dressing up in blackface and singing My Old Kentucky Home?!

n/r

[junior94]

Further evidence I'm super late on pretty much everything. Did you guys know the woman who plays Roger's ex-wife Mona, Slattery's married to her in real life? she's also the real ex-wife of George Clooney.

[stully1]

Let's keep the awesome episodes coming tonight!

[thebridge15]

Really liked Don's quick scene with Joan. I would have done the exact same thing

[parks3923]

is that mr. belding?

[UCFish]

certainly was fat old mr belding

[thebridge15]

Who?

Also, another great episode. I love this show so much.

[JacobLovesYou]

Another good episode. The death symbolism is piling up fast.

[UNC41]

Hey, hey, hey, hey ... what was going on tonight?

Also, Don hating SCDP. But that doesn't really work with his character so isn't really a sustainable long-term thing.

It's funny. I watch a ton of good shows and every time I watch one, I think "damn, this is a good show". That being said, every time I watch this show I think "damn, this is the best show ever".

Describes my feeling perfectly. I watched S1-3 at once, within two or three weeks. Every episode I couldn't believe how good I thought it was and how much I truly enjoyed watching it.

I predicted a couple of episodes ago that Megan is going to die. I could be wrong but I'm going to stick with it.

It seems kinda odd to me that I feel like that because this show is just about an advertising agency whereas BB, TW, SOA, etc... have much more interesting storylines. Really just speaks to the brilliance of MM, IMO. GoT is right there too.

I feel this season so far has been less advertising business related and more character driven so far which I like. Plus, I don't miss January Jones at all thus far. Not sure how many other shows could get away with the abscene of a major character and not miss a beat.

All of the shows I listed are character driven, IMO. The "background" of those shows are what I feel is more interesting. So for this show to do what it does speaks volumes to me. I think JJ has been phased out. I think she's going to make a major comeback though. Just my opinion.
