Invigorating and fun, “The Quality of Mercy” was the kind of episode I wish we’d gotten with the rest of Mad Men season six. Now, of course, we’re near the end of the sixth season. Which means its’ time to reel us in for yet another season of 60’s lessons in self-preservation. Speaking of… Betty […]

Don Draper’s final look in Mad Men season 5’s finale was the ultimate cliffhanger. The look, executed masterfully by Jon Hamm, left us wondering what his trajectory now is. I see Don as a traditional man who is trying to adjust, and embrace, modern society. We already know the ways in which he’s comfortable with […]

Read this Mad Men “The Other Woman” review to see how we managed to seamlessly reference “West Side Story” – and it totally works. Pete has Gall Of COURSE Pete would take the offer of prostitution to Joan, and act like he was trying to be a good guy about it. That’s the kind of […]

And we get a glimpse of him at camp (school?) where they used to have one pay phone in the hall that everyone had to use. […]

Don Draper (Jon Hamm) was sick in more ways than one in the Mad Men season 5 episode titled “Mystery Date.” Dammit, Don When Don’s past began to haunt him in dreams, viewers realized how easy it would be for Don’s twisted life views to threaten his marriage to Megan.  While Don used to cheat […]
