Really looking forward to it, particularly any follow-up from Roger about his "tripping".

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

I wish all promos for shows were like Mad Men's previews.

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

For those who are wondering about the meaning of the title

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

"Don, some day your daughter will spread her legs and fly away"

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

Well, I'm pretty sure that Shirley Temple never did THAT in her films!

:lol:

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

Wow, what a great episode. Everything at the ball, at the client dinner, Megan telling Don about the idea, awesome.

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

This season has been fantastic so far.

The blow job scene actually shocked me, even if it really didn't show anything.

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

God Roger is awesome. :lol:

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

The show is just so incredibly well crafted. They payoff is the scene at the end where not a single person at Don's table (including Don) is happy. But to get there, every action and situation was completely in character. Everyone unhappy? Just what you'd expect from an episode where the devil makes an appearance.

There comes a point where something is so good I begin to ask myself why other things can't be as good. I'm sure the creative forced behind Mad Men are quite talented, but I also believe there are many other talented people out there in the industry. Why don't we see more of them? Maybe they're off compromising on more profitable shows. Whatever the case, you just have to shrug and be thankful of what you get.

Episode 7 and we've only seen Betty once.



Score.

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

We've got someone from Beverly Hills Cop on Breaking Bad, someone from RoboCop on Mad Men. Two of my favorite movies connected to two of my favorite shows...I love it. Both of them henchmen in their film roles too. Nice.

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

Forgive me if this is a completely dense question, but why did Meagan look so unhappy after talking to Peggy? Obviously Meagan expected Peggy to be jealous, but Peggy wasn't. Was she upset by Peggy saying that this was as good as the job gets?

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

That's how I took it. That point was driven home at the end of the episode when her father tells her that she is surrendering her dreams by working in advertising and staying with Don.

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

Fantastic episode. Everything at the ball was great and the scenes with Megan's parents were excellent.

Roger (when entering Don's office): "Oh, you two are actually working." :lol:

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

"Dirty!" rotfl

Roger is the da man. :thumbsup:


Great scene.


Yep. Didn't she come to NY to be a model or actress?


And I love how Pete described his 'job' to her marxist father.

Lady Guinevere was very un lady like.

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

"He's from Dow Corning. They make lovely cookware, glasses, napalm".

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

^ Loved that one. :lol:

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

That FIL was a real ASS! I'm glad his wife (who was not bad at all) gave Roger that hummer.

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

Did anyone else LOL when the evil step-mother tripped and fell?

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

Totally. "On a toy."

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

That was great. It immediately reminded me of the scene in Breaking Bad

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

She's not evil.

Re: Mad Men -- "At the Codfish Ball" -- 4/29/12
 

Anyone who can be so bitchy as to make Betty look sympathetic must be evil.
