Holy cow. This confirms why I still love Mad Men - all the symbolism and subtext. It's so much fun to watch just to find all of that stuff.
I've read that article, and I'm hoping it's not true. I think it would be awfully sad if it happened. It wouldn't make me appreciate Mad Men less, though, as there is something to still be gained through tragedy.
After watching the latest episode (I recorded it), I'm wondering if Bob is trying to date Joan, or if they are just friends spending time together? A part of me hopes that he is another nice guy on the show like Ken, but there is something sinister about him simultaneously. Ken's comment to him when he had learned he catered to the funeral of Roger's mother, combined with the fact that Bob both mentioned that his father died and has been brought back to full health, is disconcerting. If he even went to a brothel with Pete, he's a sleazy guy, too. Despite this, he is at the moment, the most interesting character this season, as you can never be too sure what he's up to.
It was the one whose wedding he attended in Hawaii back in the premiere.
The lovely missus and I can't be the only ones growing increasingly impatient with the barrage of ads we're subjected to in this program, especially during the last 20 minutes or so of each episode.
Our nomination for the most obnoxious of those ads are the ones for Dish Network.

But you're working on the assumption that I can get my increasingly decrepit analog-era brain to figure out all that gee-whiz stuff. I think DVR means "digital video recorder," right? Does that mean I gotta buy another gizmo, or is it all somehow built into the cable setup and the flatscreen I already got?
Without the ads, I'm guessing the show runs something like 40 minutes, rather than the 62 minutes or so with the ads. I'm beginning to think of it as the Vanity Fair of TV shows -- you know, there are so many ads that it can be had to locate the editorial content.
Fair enough.. get yourself a Hi Def cable box, your cable provider probably offers it already, it'll cost extra, and usually the DVR function is built in. You go to the program guide, highlight the show you want to record, press the record button and voila... it'll record that show. You've also the option of programming the DVR to record the show whenever it's on, new episodes only etc... It is truly not as hard as it sounds or seems. They've really made em much more easy to operate as us boomers slip into decrepidity... myself included! You're right though... you lose about 20 some odd minutes of drivel... "Use the force Luke"...
Worf.
This last episode kept me on the edge of my seat. Holy cow! Especially didn't see Don's near-death experience coming.
One thing I've learned watching the ole Donster the last three weeks. He's NOT cut out for hallucinagenics... period. If he can't handle hash... he damn well never drop any of the Owlsley... period. Boy best to stick to scotch and weed.
