Mad Men – “Meditations in an Emergency” (Matthew Weiner and Kater Gordon) This season ender doesn’t have the power of “The Wheel” but it does have the best scene so far when Pete confesses to Peggy that he loves her … Continue reading →

Mad Men – “The Mountain King” (Matthew Weiner and Robin Veith) This was an action-packed episode, well, packed. What with Peggy’s new office, Betty berating Sarah Beth, Don and Anna then and now, Joan’s rape, the Popsicle and Clearasil accounts, … Continue reading →

Mad Men – “The Jet Set” (Matthew Weiner) I think I get Matthew Weiner’s intentions for “The Jet Set” but I felt a growing sense of disbelief as the episode progressed. It just didn’t work at all. The bohemians felt … Continue reading →

I came to rescue you

Mad Men – “The Inheritance” (Lisa Albert & Marti Noxon and Matthew Weiner) I was shocked when Betty’s dad grabbed her boob. I think she recovered more quickly than I did. It’s a shame that the actor playing Glen isn’t … Continue reading →
