I lurked the last thread. I've never watched this show. When the remaster came out, I tried to watch it. I only got to like S1E7.
It's just not fun to watch. I found myself wanting to skip most scenes taking place outside the office.

>>217741643
why was Trudy so mad that he traded one of them for a bb gun?
they'd gotten two

Sorry you got filtered, fren. s01 is mostly establishing Don's story and that puts some people off but I enjoyed it. You can try skipping ahead to later seasons where the storytelling is more balanced throughout the cast and focuses more on the office.

>>217741735
I might try to get back into it. I had a similar experience with my first watch of The Sopranos. It took way too long for that show to "click" for me.

They didn't actually get 2

>>217741679
on a similar note, what happened with Trudy and her ex-boyfriend from Boy's Life Magazine, when she tried getting Pete's short story published in it?
she seemed deeply hurt while talking about it to him in bed

>>217741769
S1 is the weakest and S2 is honestly not a ton better (but still good), S3 is where the show really finds its feet.

>>217741800
He tried to get her to sleep with him to get Pete's story published, she turns him down. Later she tells Pete about it and Pete is mad that she didn't do it. Subsequently he publishes the story in a kids magazine to humiliate Pete.

>>217741800
Were you watching while on your phone? That scene tells you everything that the characters are feeling

>>217741807
Funny enough. Sopranos S3 after Livia's death is when it clicked for me.

Don is actually the worst character. Somehow he's still compelling but he's the least interesting. Like half of his screentime is just him looking at the insanity surrounding him with a bemused expression.

>>217741957
Don is the only contemplative person in the entire show
it does make sense with his character, seeing as he is a creative talent, and he also has trouble assimilating the fact that a man like himself, who came up from poverty, is now living the life of his dreams and still unhappy
but it's also an interesting narrative element and aid for the viewer
every character in the show is just living their lives, as pretty much any person would, but Don is constantly watching and feeling his surroundings, because he's constantly feeling like a stranger in them, but also because it's a strange setting to us, watching it 60 years afterwards
so it's those moments of non-verbal contemplation that allow us to settle in within the story

I don't agree with this, not fully.

Don has stated explicitly that most people around only care about what he can do for them and not about him as a person. He accepts it to some extent at work because well, it's work. He gets upset at Megan I think after they're married when she invites work people over or something to that effect. He fell out of love for Betty because she obviously only wanted a trophy husband.

tl;dr: He preferred being around people who fully understood him.

>>217742157
>Don has stated explicitly that most people around only care about what he can do for them and not about him as a person.
The problem is Don has no actual personality and when he DOES make a connection he's consistently horrible to them.
Faye was good for him and he ditched her in the cruelest way possible.
Arnold was a good friend and he fucked his wife.

That's the crux of his position. He's right about other people but he's also fucked up in his own way. That's what makes his story interesting to me. He remains messed up for so long because there's no aspect of his life where he can be real and heal (except when he visits).

A lot of modern shows tend to use the MC has the writer's insert and make it where he's this perfect character and the world is just mean to him.

>>217741944
Really seeing Pete in a different light after this. Just lying to people willy nilly!

one thing that took me a while to get is the motivation between Don and Peggy's relationship
on season 1 he only promotes her to spite Pete, their bond only ever starts after he visits her in the hospital
Don is a son without a mother, and Peggy is a mother without a son
they look after eachother to give themselves the redemption nobody else could

He got 3 guys to kill themselves. It's hilarious he attacks Lane for forging his signature when Don does that every single day.

It's basically the inverse of what happened with Don and Pete, Pete showed him mercy and became his truest ally and Don instead of doing the same to Lane destroyed him.

When he tips off Ted's client to the true cost of Rosemary's Baby ad so they can come in for a meeting and he can make fun of Ted's infatuation with Peggy in front of them.

if it was only a matter of money, Don would have probably saved his ass, like he'd done with Pete, when they needed to put extra money to extend the company's credit line

Pete Campbell has Asperger's. Kartheiser gives an extremely realistic portrayal of the disease, instead of spoon-feeding it to you with absurd exaggerations like actors playing similar characters would, and you were too stupid to pick up on it.

I can’t believe that gun never came into play later on, especially just hanging in his office the entire series. I know it’s not really the type of show for a shootout or anything to happen, but at the same time, someone’s foot gets mangled by a lawn mower in the office so it wouldn’t be the craziest thing

It's not exactly explicit that Pete wanted her to fuck the guy though. I went back to watch the scene, seems like more of a "you should've tried harder" than "you should've fucked him". I can't imagine Pete with all his insecurity actually willing to have his wife get fucked by some other man just to get some story published. And she didn't give any details. Even if he assumed what the guy would want, it seems likelier he'd want Trudy to lead him on rather than actually pimp her out.

>>217750026
at no point is pete worse than betty or peggy or harry

Has there ever been an irl situation in the 20th century where soldier steals a deceased soldiers identy when returning home?

>>217749821
No because it relies a lot (even if gimmicky) on the culture change around that time, a big part of the show is Don being stuck in the old ways and interacting with the new.
I think you could still make an office romance identity crisis drama, but it'd have a lot less flair.

shit like "America's Most Wanted" on tv caught some people that otherwise would've lived peacefully

its funny how they'll bend over backwards to keep don and fellate his amazing work. then he shows up late, drinks, naps, and his ad is the most obvious and boring shit you'll ever see.

>>217750026
>from what Ive seen of the show Roger was the best character and Pete the worst. How accurate is that if you watch the whole thing?

Pete is a despicable weasel but he's also one of the more sympathetic characters, and he genuinely cares about Don and Peggy. Poor Betty is the worst. The most sympathetic thing about her is that it's too obvious the writers hate her.

>>217750097
>Has there ever been an irl situation in the 20th century where soldier steals a deceased soldiers identy when returning home?

Depends. Does a Simpsons episode that de-canonized itself count as irl?

>>217750337
>its funny how they'll bend over backwards to keep don and fellate his amazing work. then he shows up late, drinks, naps, and his ad is the most obvious and boring shit you'll ever see.

It's infuriating that "I don't think of you at all" became a meme when it was actually Don coping super hard.

>>217750337
That's actually a major part of the plot in S6-7. You even get that power struggle after the merger where Cutler's trying to force him out and the whole thing only goes away because they realize they're losing Chevy but McCann is also losing General Motors, leading to SC&P getting absorbed.

>>217750513
He was seething about Betty at the time for bringing up Anna Draper with Sally in such a way that it'd drive a wedge between Don and Megan.
Ginsberg was just the yutz who happened to be in the firing line. Don genuinely wasn't thinking about him.

>>217745247
Tony Soprano Is in therapy the entire show and is also a lifelong criminal and murderer. His depression makes way more sense then Don's and the end of the day

>>217750589
clinical depression can't magically show up past puberty and it never goes away. its a brain chemistry issue that can only be mitigated. someones lifes circumstances make it better or worse but it will still be there if you have everything.

a lot of people say they 'have depression', they probably don't. they are sad, or currently feeling depressed.

>>217741679
Trudy more like Turdy
LMAO

>>217750629
brain chemistry psychology is a meme. there's no objective diagnostic critera to establish it, you can't scan someone's brain to see that they're depressed, and nobody ever did brainscan studies or whatever to establish the diagnosis. it's just some dudes sat around and conjectured that x/y/z symptoms means you're clinically depressed. it's literally based on VIBES

>>217750337

Put your phone down when you're watching the show. Don landed some of their biggest clients and those clients stuck around because of Don being there, even when they didn't need creatives from him.

>Don said people don’t care about him as a person

These threads crack me up. The blindness is hilarious. Don did that to himself by lying about his identity. He’s an ad for another person and not himself in any way.

All the talk about his “contemplative expression” in these threads is hilarious too. He’s constantly terrified he’ll be found out right up to the end, when he finally decided to chill out and not give a shit any more.

And people who whoosh that finale don’t get his character arc at all. He’s a professional liar continuously hand-waving the others away from his shortfalls while also constantly seeking the approval he never got as a kid. It ain’t that hard, if you pay any attention at all.

Nobody really has a personality. "You are what you do," but the other side of that is we are products of our environment. When Don is with Anna, he's as wonderful as wonderful can be. When Don is in New York, he has to be an ad man. Eventually it poisons his soul too much and he can't recognize the good thing that Megan is and thinks all he has is New York and being an ad man.

>HE WAS CAUGHT WITH CHEWING GUM ON HIS PUBIS

Why anytime I say Mad Men is my favorite show people look at me with a weird side eye? Like I'm some kind of a boring pretentious twat? The seriies has the best dialogue and one liners I've ever seen.
Also I might be secretly gay and I enjoy looking at Jon Hamm, especially in earlier seasons.

I love smoking too so I smoke like 2-3 packs on rewatching.

>>217754026
they give you the side eye because you REEK of cig smoke

Apparently Michael Gladis really regretted coming back for this and advised Bryan Batt not to do the same for a Stonewall Riots cameo. I could live without Stonewall, but Kinsey felt like he should have gotten more than whatever the hell the Hare Krishna shit was. It would have been interesting (but maybe too redundant) to see him and Ginsberg in the same office.

Hey guys! Just your threadly reminder that Mad Men was written and produced by women and fags, for women and fags. If you like Mad Men, you are a woman or a fag! This is simply a fact. You look at a Don character the same way that women and fags look at men: their idealized version. You watch this programme because you're a faggot for the image of man. Ironically Pete is a better caricature of Men, but since you're all women and fags you spend the entire watch time staring at, admiring, pushing your face into the screen to simulate sucking the asshole of Don Draper; a character ripped directly from a 50 shades of grey tier femslop novel. In short; if you enjoy this program, you would let my big fat cock rape your throat and love every second of it. More like "Mad (for cock) Men" referring to you, the viewer. I'd like to buy the world a big fat sweaty hairy man ass, said Don and every Mad Men enjoyer.

>Sure, I would have liked some closure, a few more episodes to say goodbye to Sal. Though an open-ended thread has its perks. People can decide for themselves what they want to happen to Sal. And it's bittersweet for me, professionally. When Michael returned for his Hare Krishna moment I asked him what it was like. He told me, "Don't do it." I guess it was kind of like living the last act of Our Town or having sex with an ex. You know it's going to be great for that one time, but then it's over. You know it's over, and you can never go back.
