Mad-Men: 6.10 "A Tail of Two Cities"

I did notice and actually laughed out loud. My daughter asked what was so funny, but I didn’t know how to explain it to her (she doesn’t watch the show, just happened to be passing by).

Is Vincent Kartheiser really that balding? All these years, has his famously floppy hair been a combover?

Nope, he shaves it for the role.

Don’t forget he also shared a producing Emmy with 5 others for Best Miniseries for Game Change. (The other five are a bunch of nobodies including someone called “Tom Hanks”. Like that’s a real name.)

Writing, producing, acting. The guy is big in Hollywood.

I loved the last scene of this episode. Weiner can show all the “trippy” drug scenes he wants (though I wish he would stop). But I think nothing shows the pervasiveness of the drug culture as Pete Campbell plunking down in the creative lounge smoking a joint. Plus after his interaction with Joan the song choice was perfect.

Anyone know if Mad Men has been renewed for a 7th season? Five & six were approved at the same time, along with “a strong possibility of a 7th & final season”, but I don’t know if that ever happened.

I am reasonably sure I read next season is the planned last season.
