im surprised no one said this

but am I the only one that noticed how long it took Don to talk out loud ?

it was like 10 minutes in before he said a word

Ya I noticed that. Which is why it was surprising to read people in here saying he looked happy. He didn't look happy to me at all.

He looked distant. Uninterested. People around him seemed to take it as the same old stoic Don, but something seemed off. The only time he looked into it to me was when he was schooling the creative team.

personally i just think hes getting tired of megan. hes not use to his wife having a life of her own. betty was totally dependent on don and he liked that. megans acting career seems to be growing and don resents that. yall see the look on his face when the fan stopped her for an autograph in hawaii?


but fukking another woman in the same building? wife of a friend? woman you had over for dinner to meet your wife? this is dangerous territory draper

Interesting that his very first word was "Army" too.

Defintiely. The chemistry definitely isn't there anymore. I just wonder how long and more importantly, what it'll take for her to be thrown in the bushes.

That Don Draper is a real piece of shyt

:obama:

It's obvious to me that bangin' that doctor's wife had nothing to do with with sex...it had everything to do with Don seeing that Doctor save a man's life in front of him, which in the process made Don feel like less of a man for not doing anything in life as heroic or as important.His immaturity forces him into a childish game of "oh yeah, well I fukked your girl..." to try to get some power and confidence back.

you right...don is a coward under that persona he puts infront of everybody

ya remember when duck put his paws on don and made him say uncle?

i cant find the link in youtube but i been rewatching the series and was like :ohhh: i cant believe i 4got about that


and remember he got the real don draper killed because he peed himself and dropped his lighter on a trail of oil :snoop:

Yeah, the Betty storyline was mostly uninteresting to me, but I loved this episode....Don in Hawaii, esp. the scene with the GI, that was dope as fukk, 'One day I'll be the veteran who vacations in paradise who can't sleep and talks to strangers' his growing sense of discontent with everything, esp. his wife was well portrayed...Pete was a douche as usual, but some classic lines, '...and now he's going to take a nap', we all could see something off about Don being so friendly with the doctor, and the reveal was something no one was surprised about, but it was effective nonetheless. 'I want to stop doing this' great last line...

Is the show taking shots at people who thought the season premiere was boring?

I still find the whole doctor thing odd

I was like damn Don actually has a friend that he genuinely likes for the first time ever

next thing I know Don is in bed with his wife :snoop:



also as for that being a boring episode ... I found it to be much better than almost all of season 5 ... might even be one of the best mad men episodes ever

Yeah I figured it was 1968 when Peggy said the Super Bowl would be between the Packers and Raiders/Chiefs.

That means we'll be getting a MLK assassinated episode this season. :to:

Yeah I figured it was December 67' to January 68' when the Doc mentioned the Cotton Bowl between Texas A&M and Alabama.... I love when the show gives their little hints..

good insight...that's definitely it, I don't think Don is a through and through coward, but he deals with his deficiencies in a morally corrupt and childish, petty manner, rather then confronting them in a positive way..which is very standard for the times.
