Official Mad Men™ Season 5 thread

[Feech La Manna]

Sal will pop up at some point

They've had Duck, Kinsey, Midge, even Smitty show up later

[Feech La Manna]

Rachel Menken too

[Guy Incognito]

my reaction to paul showing up as a krishna was exactly

[Feech La Manna]

oh Freddy Rumsen too

this show LOVES bringing people back briefly

[grammatron]

The way Sal was so unceremoniously dropped is my number 1 complaint with this show.

[endless dave]

Freddy still does part time, spec work for SCDP. They mention it every once in awhile

[atomicbombshell]

god damn, that card from don at the end. :]

he is pure sex and i love that he and joan will never ever do it and will always be the sexiest talkers of all time

[Markman]

Harry is such a nerd.

Also, was it a dick move to give Paul the $500, when he obviously knows he sucks at writing? He was kinda helping out by getting him out and away from the Juliette Lewis looking chick, but he is setting him up for a major failure.

[delgriffith]

Harry might be the character I hate most on this show.

[Feech La Manna]

Crane giving Paul the money was the best thing he's done in several seasons

[Feech La Manna]

Like I don't even see how it's debatable that he did an extremely good thing getting him the hell out of there

[Markman]

But he is seriously setting him up to fail. He is shipping him across the country with the equivalent of $4,000 with an idea that he is a writing genius. The guy is gonna be broke and living on the street in like two weeks

[Markman]

gonna need a gif of don's theatre face. would pair nicely with the jerry seinfeld

He's already broke and probably not living too far from the street, watching Star Trek episodes through department store windows and in love with a manipulative religious zealot. And clearly still miserable. At the very least he actually got to think Harry liked him and believed in him in a non-religious cult context, which was probably a pretty huge deal for him.

[kid8]

I missed the whole lane thing. Why was he forging checks and who was that guy on the phone?

[grammatron]

Harry might be the character I hate most on this show.

whaaaat?

[nefarious]

i really don't like Harry one bit.

[spix et chicho]

probably because you identify yourself as don

[nefarious]

haha

its like you don't know me at all.

[spix et chicho]

i don't!

[Feech La Manna]

Sometimes it seems like this show is a little fuzzy on the inflation math. Would that Jag really be less than 6k?

[Kevin McCallister]

I wanted to come in and say that I want an apology from all the Harry Haters at the beginning of the season but WHAT THE HELL DEL

Harry might be the character I hate most on this show.

i think this is fair. there is some serious risk of paul dying in LA, but similar possibility of him being extremely successful. after all, lakshmi chick wanted him to stay because he was their best salesman...

I just assume that Paul will fail at being a writer and get a normal job and not join a kooky religion.

[Blackeyed]

This interview with Milch, Weiner and Gilligan is great: http://www.gq.com/entertainment/movies- ... avid-milch

Every word from Milch's mouth is fucking gold.

I think this was Crane's assumption. Which is much nobler than anything else he's done/said on the show in years.

oh my god

GQ: Why is that still true, when it's obvious that some of the best work is being done on TV?
Vince Gilligan: It takes time. It started out when movies were the movies and TV was this bastard stepchild.

David Milch: The symbol retains its hold long after the substance which the symbol is supposed to represent has lost its real basis. Look. [pulls a stack of scratch-off lottery tickets from his pocket] I just stopped and got gas, so, like an idiot, I bought a bunch of scratch-offs.

[He distributes the tickets. Feverish scratching ensues and continues throughout lunch.]

Harry Crane is the office's murray st

[swamp thing]

david milch is a top ten human

david milch used to make acid in italy or mexico or something for a living and i guess somehow was using chloroform in the process, and realized he was into just chloroforming himself, he ended up back in america because they found him passed out in a fountain high on chloroform and deported him

[swamp thing]

david milch shot out a police car's lights with a shotgun while high on acid, and suddenly finds himself hiding behind some columns from a bunch of cops

they havent gotten a good look at him he puts the gun down, runs out and yells "he's got a gun! he's got a gun!" and the police are like "get out of here" but he's high on acid so halfway down the block he cracks up and starts cackling and screaming "YOU STUPID DAGO BASTARDS! IT WAS ME!!!"

thats why david milch got kicked out of law school and also beat up by policemen
