Official Mad Men™ Season 5 thread

[husbands]

didn't he have trouble paying for his sons tuition too?

[carlperkins]

Unless I missed it, this was the first ever mention of his tax problems. And, yeah, the only other indication that he had money problems was a few episodes back where he was putting off paying the school tuition.

[Lucky]

holy shit, christina hendricks + e-type must be the most aesthetically pleasing scene on tv

great episode

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

I'm a little confused about Lane's tax thing. I'm sure this was covered previously in the season, I just don't remember it at all because it's been a while. He paid his U.S. taxes but not his UK taxes? And this is his personal money, not tax evasion on behalf of the agency?

Why did he do that? I know he was broke for a while but I was under the impression that the agency was getting back on its feet and they weren't broke anymore.

Another strange thing about this is that the UK doesn't tax income you receive from a foreign employer while working overseas.

[Durham]

fuck
show is RUINED now, terrible oversight
NEXT

[Hal Jordan]

didn't the attorney say something like "and they especially won't cut you a break now that you're an ex-pat"

so maybe they were old tax debts

[Lucky]

maybe taxes were weird and different fifty years ago

[Feech La Manna]

Given that he has a dickhead dad, a family with a taste for an extravagant lifestyle and that was living in two separate countries, and seemed to be career middle management before he came to Sterling Cooper, old debts make sense

[Feech La Manna]

Also at some point they implied that he was dumping his own money into SCDP just to keep it afloat

[andrei]

doesn't lane make a similar salary to the other partners?

[Feech La Manna]

or at the very least neglecting to pay himself

even before 1975?

[universe]

weren't the rolling stones UK tax exiles? I guess that's more to the point of not needing to worry about it.

[starttomelt]

great episode!

[Schnapple]

This show is still great, but so doomy at the moment. Shit, poor Lane.

Was gonna reference Harold Brown's supertax but this seems to cover it.

[Motherwell]

[mattstan]

She's a fictional character, Matt.

Unless you're on a 56k modem I doubt "free" download sites are gonna beat torrents

It's a really shitty city-provided wireless network that I am dropping for a 20 mbps connection as soon as the contract is up. Anyways, torrents are faster usually, but they aren't immediately after the show is upped (talkin' 25 kbps). I just want to know a free site that is decently fast until I can eliminate the problem.

[grammatron]

Have you found it yet?

[Hugh]

Kinsey looked terrifying. Glad they finally brought him back for a minute though.

[Guy Incognito]

[up_colorful_hill]

i buy the latest ep off amazon because i'm a sucker

[mattstan]

Taking guesses as to what Sal's up to now.

[mattstan]

..."his balls in ass" not being an acceptable answer.

[Guy Incognito]

we'll never see sal again which makes his final scene all the more sad

[ecto]

i dont think thats how gay people have sex

[Guy Incognito]

you sure seem to know a lot about gay sex, ecto
