Mad Men: Season 7 (Part 1) 'The Beginning' - April 13th

[Jmare007]

"Just tell the truth" - Sally

And he told it




I love the A Song Of Ice and Fire books, I love the GOT tv show but on Sunday, nothing tops Mad Men for me. The progression of this ep. was fukking outstanding.

 

[ineedsleep212]

Beautiful episode. Lies and truth. What's said and unsaid. That simple Happy Valentines Day I love you had me feeling like Don for some reason.

Dawn

 

[MrWillyWanker]

ha that dude Lou is a dikk

 

[MenacingMonk]

Peggy got shat on.

 

[Jigg]

Looks like Peggy's loneliness is gonna be a primary theme of this season

Her entire plot arc so far has been centered around her isolating herself from everyone in the firm and her personal life in general. She's just kinda in her own world and nobodys there to catch her when she falls or even to give a fukk about anything she has to say really. Her own creative team is even starting to look like theyre drifting away from her.

The stuff with her and the flowers was icing on the cake for me. Imo that breakdown from her after she found out Ted didnt send those flowers was more than just being embarrassed for goin off on him and the secretary. It seemed more of a self-realization like "damn even Ted dont give a fukk about me no more, I aint shyt "

Wonder what direction they'll go with her as the season progresses

The Lane direction

 

[The War Report]

That racial overtunes was palpable. White people were flexing their muscles this episode. Pete is back to his ole miserable self. At least it looks like he has a good woman by his side; she's a real go getter.

Episode was fukking fire this week. fukking fire.

The details in this episode were fukking amazing. Even down to the shape of that ketchup bottle at the cafe with Don and Sally. Dope.

Bonnie's speech to Pete in that little crib felt like an ether and I don't even know why. The delivery on "Our fortunes are in other peoples hands, and we have to take them" was straight

Ol dude up there is right too, the Peggy arc is going to be very interesting. She's been on an upward slope from S1-6 and now Ted has her on royal smash from 2,000 miles away. I wonder where that's going to go.

Salute to Dawn though. She made it fukking Bert walking out the front then moonwalking back into the offices had me

Shoutout Sally too, every single episode she's in is dope. "Just tell the truth" was Only thing I didn't get was the "we're going to do a runner" thing. Someone explain that to me.

 

[OG Talk]

Sally is the only human being that Don can be real with



2 episodes and no Betty? I have a feeling she got fat again


The Black women finally getting some play on the show just to get played..I'm glad they're showing Bert's mentality for all those "Slavery ended 400 years ago" types..Straight up 2nd class citizens in the most liberal city in America...

I think Bonnie is supposed to be Betty 2.0. Can't wait till she gets tired of Pete and the Ls start coming again

Stan: I guess you don't have plans Valentine's Day

Ginsberg: Yea she does, didn't you check her calendar...Masturbate gloomily.

Only thing I didn't get was the "we're going to do a runner" thing. Someone explain that to me.

Only thing I took from it was a way for him to make Sally laugh after some serious discussion.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Now THIS was a dope ass episode, the kind of episode I'm expecting from this show.

Peggy's transformation to a bitter old lady is both sad and remarkable.

Don and Sally making strides on a fractured, tenuous relationship
Don living with bugs, doe

Bert displaying that old white man racism that we all know existed, but is undershown on here. Gonna be interesting to see where they take Roger's character. Lou's such a dikkhead, but hilarious at time. Kinda cool, actually, to have such a swagless dude in the mix

Dawns story line was dope.
Funny how one woman's shyt job is the next woman's dream. Is it just me or does she get badder ever episode?

The best part of this episode, a very minor detail that likely went over 95% of Mad Men's audience's head, was Dawn calling Shirley Dawn and Shirley calling Dawn Shirley. These fukking writers man...best in the business, easily.
