Starting a new season is always tough.

I saw Peggy more than I thought I would, a lot of dying references! Don scared of dying breh. Next few week will open up this season nicely.

I was fukking dying at all the dude's new hair/facial hair styles and then you have Pete still with the struggle hairline :to: Perfect way to come back to Pete too, dude looked a complete goof on that staircase.

Stan's line ''That's what's good about it'' :heh:

Thought it was a great opener.

Finally got around to watching the premeire, brehs and :wow: Show is picking up right where it left off. I'm just gonna get my one possible gripe out of the way first: this show is so awesome because it forces people to pay a ton of attention and take whatever they will from each episode. A fukking shrink? :dahell: It just comes off cliche and as if they don't give the viewer enough credit to figure shyt out. But who knows, maybe they'll do it differently than has been done all the other times before.

Death is the oldest mind fukk in the book. It's not cliche in the slightest, just really old. We've seen it used symbolically and as a focal point in every medium. The character Don Draper was born out of death. I don't know if it's a case of not understanding it or being afraid of it, but Don's struggling with it. He's having a midlife crisis. He's reading Dante's Inferno on a Hawaiian beach :skip: That's why we got the vibe we did when he met the private at the bar and ended up giving away the bride. His mortality was being put on display. One day I'll be the old dude, discontent at the bar. I think the scenes with Peggy kinda of lend to this besides just building her character. Don's an "ancestor". The knowledge he passed down to Peggy shaping her in addition to giving away this girl to a young man off at war (like he used to be). The funeral adds on to it a little. He's clearly twisted but he's standing at this even t because of death, and this old lady (who looks like death) is reading some bullshyt statement meant to some how sum up the life of a woman that lived 90yrs. Like this is it?:why: The fascination with what the doorman saw when he died. The resort ad. The convo with the doctor. That's why he cheats I think. Something to make him feel alive. :smugdraper: Complacency is akin to age. Not being needed means you can be discarded. Though it's interesting what the doctor said before he left "People will do anything to alleviate their anxiety" :ohhh:

I knew Roger was gonna cry when he got the shoe shiner's box. He told the psychiatrist something along the lines of his mom loving him for a completely pointless reason (I'm assuming he means cause she's his mother) and now she's gone. I'm sure that guy has shined Roger's shoe's forever and that's a dependency and familiarity deeper to him at that point than his 90 year old mother. Plus, his mother dies and he's left to handle the arrangements. The dude Giorgio dies and his family sends his kit to Roger cause he's the only one that gave a fukk. He's crying at the comparison of these two lives ending, the complete disparity in how people care, and the fact it might add credence to his belief that none of this means anything.

I'm cool with the Betty storyline. She's having her own midlife crisis. Her daughter calls her by her own first name, and the one girl that reminds her of herself, she can't save. She wants to be young, a mother or just something to somebody. We'll see where that goes.

The lighter scene was cool. I think it made him think of his own origins as Don Draper, seeing this other dude's lighter. Kind of like a dog tag. He's stolen another man's identity. Last time that happened someone died. The kid at the bar was full of life and barely taking the prospect of death seriously and here's Don stealing his life before he's gotten a chance to live it.

Ain't nobody reading that shyt :what:

I noticed about the lighter thing....

Don had one, and the other guy had one also. Somehow the two got switched, which bothered Don. Maybe Don didn't feel worthy to have this real soldier's lighter. But now I wonder: Where did Don get his lighter? I think in Korea he dropped his, lighting the fuel on the ground which killed the real Don Draper. Did the Army just give him this lighter as a discharge present
