11.18.17 | Anyone watch Mad Men ? |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | yeah, okay |
EyesWideShut
11.18.17 | yeah, agreed |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | i'm personally more fond of roger sterling than don draper, but yeah |
DominionMM1
11.18.17 | it's all about pete campbell bros |
EyesWideShut
11.18.17 | Sterling was one of my fav characters too.. I never seen a man pull of grey hair so well.. |
EyesWideShut
11.18.17 | Pete is S1 was the typical yuppy twerp, but he grows on you with each season.. Horrible hairline compared to Don and Roger tho. |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | he made 'old' sexy |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | sterling that is |
DominionMM1
11.18.17 | yeah but pete was hilarious in a total schmuck way |
DominionMM1
11.18.17 | betty was great too |
EyesWideShut
11.18.17 | Now Harry Crane was a total schmuck haha |
cylinder
11.18.17 | Prob my favorite tv drama. This seems accurate besides 2 being so low
Peggy Olson’s where it’s at |
someguest
11.18.17 | prob the best TV period drama
Jessica Paré is a fucking dime |
Toad
11.18.17 | Yeah agreed someguest
I personally love Peter Campbell just because he's the perfect insecure asshole, totally ridiculous yet believable at the same time |
someguest
11.18.17 | There's not a bad character on the show except for Lou.
I loved the dynamic between Pete and Beth. Obviously they did too as they got married in real life shortly after. |
smaugman
11.18.17 | season 7 needs to be higher up |
foxblood
11.18.17 | Wonderful show, I love Don & Betty |
smaugman
11.18.17 | lmao fuck betty |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | someguest: are you purposefully mentioning only minor characters that had little to no impact on anything (except for Pete)? |
EyesWideShut
11.18.17 | "This seems accurate besides 2 being so low"
That blonde bimbo who Don was seeing annoyed the hell outta me.. He cheated on Betty with that hag, that comedian was annoying too..
Fuck Lou. |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | by that blonde bimbo you mean Anna? |
EyesWideShut
11.18.17 | No I like Anna, I got the blonde part wrong.. I mean that Bobbie chick that was with that comedian. My bad |
someguest
11.18.17 | "someguest: are you purposefully mentioning only minor characters that had little to no impact on anything"
yeah Lou pissed me off. and Beth was an extreme example of Pete's destruction and he still didn't give a damn. |
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd
11.18.17 | "Obviously they did too as they got married in real life shortly after."
Who wouldn't marry that bish? |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | I'm sorry, I misremembered who Lou was. Looked up some scenes, now I recall disliking his pathetic ass too. |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | my go-to shitty character was Duck Phillips, but at least Duck got some kind of retribution at the end, whereas Lou just stayed a dick |
someguest
11.18.17 | I love the actor that plays Duck (Mark Moses) so I always enjoyed his failed antics. |
smaugman
11.18.17 | did anyone else shed a tear near the very end of the show when don smiles while doing yoga? |
someguest
11.18.17 | I didn't. I always assumed it was foreshadowing Don going back to business as usual. |
smaugman
11.18.17 | i just loved that he had been troubled for so long and he finally found inner peace, that's how i viewed it |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | i shed a tear when betty talked to sally about her cancer..
can't remember whether it was a finale or not |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | oh wait, no it wasn't |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | i shed a tear, when don hugged the lowlife employee in the recreation center during the group session |
smaugman
11.18.17 | yea also that |
someguest
11.18.17 | "i just loved that he had been troubled for so long and he finally found inner peace, that's how i viewed it"
I don't think he found it. I think it was momentary just like all the other times he found peace. All we know for sure is he went on to do a Coke ad run. |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | maybe it was a symbolic segway into his eventual happiness in making an extraordinarily sucessful pitch, that being the Coke one... |
someguest
11.18.17 | Maybe that too. Don was still a piece of shit when the show ended. No doubt in my mind. |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | but maybe by the end he was a piece of shit who now fully realised in what was he was a piece of shit, so that he could go on to change and become better and "buy a world a peace". sort of |
smaugman
11.18.17 | i thought the smile was a kind of new beginning for him, because he had dealt with most things that troubled him as a remember |
cylinder
11.19.17 | I think Don definitely has an awakening of sorts at the end, I mean it is implied that that was his ad we see, right? |
smaugman
11.19.17 | Yes agreed. The «pling» was an indicator of the new don draper |
EyesWideShut
11.19.17 | The only person I really felt sorry for by the end was Betty.. She never seemed happy, always felt like her kids hated her, Don's cheating, and terminal cancer. |
smaugman
11.19.17 | She got rekt |
smaugman
11.19.17 | Never felt sorry for her because i never liked her. I felt really sorry for maggie though, the love between don and her was real but don just drifted away |
EyesWideShut
11.19.17 | yea she was dealt a bad hand despite living a "privileged" life.. I also felt bad for that blonde Dr. Faye Miller who really loved Don and seemed like someone who could have kept him grounded and happy.. But he chose Megan who was like a child. |
smaugman
11.19.17 | Agreed, she was really torn up by it. Did u find it weird how sal left the show? I thought he would come back or something but nope |
Papa Universe
11.19.17 | can we just list all the women Don fucked over and left crushed?
*clears throat*
Faye
Betty
Allison
Megan
Rachel
Midge
Sylvia
Suzanne
only Diana was the one to do that to him |
smaugman
11.19.17 | Betty had it comin hehe |
EyesWideShut
11.19.17 | When Don got that Kennedy call about laxatives lmao |
EyesWideShut
11.19.17 | or when Lane's Jaguar turns out to be a lemon, poor bastard. |
Papa Universe
11.27.17 | had to go rewatch the whole series.
Lou's story was actually kinda sad... (he's still a pathetic bafoon tho) |
Papa Universe
11.27.17 | not as sad as Ginsberg's, though |
EyesWideShut
11.27.17 | When Don destroys Ginsberg in the elevator though..
"I feel bad for you"
"I dont think about you at all.." |
EyesWideShut
11.27.17 | I already wanna rewatch the series, it was my late night fix. |
Gyromania
11.27.17 | They're all boring af |
SCREAM!
11.27.17 | Up there with my favourite shows
Not enough Joan love itt. She was up there with the better characters in the show for sure |
Papa Universe
11.27.17 | *obligatory love for: Bert, Joan, Peggy, Harry* |
smaugman
11.27.17 | if only mad men was hbo from the beginning |
SCREAM!
11.27.17 | wasn't it AMC the whole way through? |
Papa Universe
11.27.17 | it was |
smaugman
11.27.17 | amc sucks |
SCREAM!
11.27.17 | breaking bad and mad men beg to differ
tbh those are the only AMC shows I've watched but both rule |
smaugman
11.27.17 | Not saying the shows suck, but the network |
someguest
11.27.17 | I like it when a show isn't on a network like HBO or Showtime. They have to work hard to stop using the cuss word/sex scene crutches most of the shows on those networks fall into. |
EyesWideShut
11.28.17 | Totally agree with Someguest, not really sure what HBO could have done besides add more cursing when it comes to Mad Men.. not really necessary.
Campbell and Harry's profound convo lmao
"Have you ever seen those pictures of earth from space, do they make you feel small and insignificant ?"
"No Jennifer does that..." |
DominionMM1
11.28.17 | yeah there's not much more hbo could've done but i wouldn't say hbo uses their ability to allow nudity and cursing as a crutch. i mean the wire and the sopranos would still be goat without the tits and fucks. |
smaugman
11.28.17 | Amc gives their shows pretty shit budgets |
EyesWideShut
10.13.22 | First rewatch since 2017, still a classic. |
DominionMM1
10.13.22 | hell yeah man |
EyesWideShut
10.13.22 | perfect finale, almost dropped a tear to see the man at peace |
