I love his pissed, petulant look when Harry casually mentions having a vision while chanting for the first time.
I think I’ve heard of this plot also. There was “Let this be your last battlefield” with Frank Gorshin about a two races, half black and half white, fighting because one was black on the left and the other was black on the right.
Kinsey’s script would fit in well with other ST scripts - just not at the beginning of the first season. There were plenty of deep scripts, like Richard Matheson’s on the good Kirk and bad Kirk. Just not this type, not yet. And I watched it from the very first show.
My first thought when Kinsey said he had written a Star Trek episode was that it was “The Way To Eden” (the “Herbert” episode)
Why are we getting a Christmas episode in May? Didn’t this just show in the US for the first time a couple of days ago?
Mad Men has never coordinated plots with airdate. I can’t think of many dramas that bother, especially on cable.
And usually a month or so passes between episodes of Mad Men, so it’s pretty much impossible to get them to line up.
I generally don’t think that throwing a plate of food across a room is a great way to get any across.
Also she had been seeing him slack off for a looong time now and it never seemed to bother her before. I think it was some combination of concern about his diminished interst in work and a strong awareness of Don’s cheating past and the fact that she grew up in a household of infidelity. But mostly the last two.
I loled when she brought up the “hollowness of consumerism” while wearing a fancy dress in a penthouse in Manhattan.
When has this happened? They’ve been running weekly with no interruption this year.
enalzi means a month in the Mad Men timeline, not in the presentation schedule of the episodes. If I’m not mistaken, it’s now December of ’66, right?
Correct.
The end of the first semester of my freshman year in college (if anyone is wondering).
I had just turned five that October. They’re just now starting to show things that I have a vague memory of.
I keep trying to figure out who the Jaguar salesman was. He sounded just like Tobey Maguire.
Maybe Megan was up for the roll of Oscar Madison in the Broadway production of The Odd Couple.
“It’s not spaghetti, it’s linguini.”
“Now, it’s garbage.”
I really love what a conscientious slime ball Harry is. He cheats on his pregnant wife, bangs the love of Paul’s life, screws her again by pointing out she gave away the only thing she had to offer and then makes an earnest effort to help Paul, not out of guilt, I think, but to actually point him in a better (or at least different) direction.
And it dawns on me that if Lane really needed some quick cash, between Roger’s and Harry’s largesse, all he had to do was pitch a few campaign ideas, sell his office and join the Hare Krishnas. At SCDP, that alone is worth like $1700.
Plus Weiner did originaly want a fall, 2011 start date for the season. He probally took that into considertion when he was ploting the arc out.
First of all, my apologies for the late bumping of this thread. I’m a bit in arrears in my MM watching. I just saw this ep tonight.
I loved the Star Trek reference. Especially in light of the fact that Kinsey *always *reminded me of Will Riker, with his beard and pipe. I couldn’t look at him and not think of Jonathan Frakes. And then he returns with a *Star Trek *script? It was just tooooo perfect. Yowza!
