Crazy About Mad Men!

I looked up some of his older images and when he was younger and thinner he was very nice looking. But then that could be said for a lot of people!

It was really good last night!!!

I just know somehow Don is going to hook-up with that teacher!

The whole birth scene, dream scene, etc. was really sad and well done.

I was so uncomfortable when Pete kept saying "Negros". I don't know why - it just was strange.

So will Peggy leave?????

How about Duck being back? And that was Yeardley "Lisa Simpson" Smith playing the nurse in the scene with the prison guard.

I think we're so used to saying "black" or "African-American" now, that Negro sounds almost racist. I did see quite a few posts on other boards where people said it made them feel uncomfortable too. I wonder if it's because "negro" seems a little close to the "n word".

I don't think Peggy is going to leave at least not permanently. I can see a scenario though where she does take Duck up on his offer and something happens at Sterling Cooper that makes them realize they need her back so they offer her a raise so that she gets paid what the men do. And maybe she'll hold out to get a salary just a few dollars more than what the men do.

Speaking of Peggy, I loved when Pete said "Your decisions affect me." It was such an open-ended statement that could really be taken in more than one way.

Yes, I think the word Negros just took me back to "those times" when things were a bit rough when I was little.

That is the way I see things going with Peggy also!

Yeah, that was quite a comment from Pete!

It was fun to see Duck back.

I wonder if Duck's return is permanent or whether it's just to end his storyline. And I wonder when and if Freddie Rumson is coming back. He was the one who got drunk and peed himself and got sent on a 6 month "vacation" (more than likely rehab).

I have a feeling Duck is just back to cause some trouble!

You never know about Freddie

Cool!!!

Wow, tonight's episode was epic!

Well, I had to tape it because I watched the Emmys. I am going to try to watch it today sometime if I can get the babies to sleep at the same time!

I saw the last few mins. of it and it looked really good.

Congrats to the show for their Emmy win!

Was hoping Elizabeth would win too, but sadly none of the actors from the show won :(

Roger has a lot of great one-liners in this one. I was spoilered so I knew what was going to happen, but it was still a very surprising episode.

Did you watch yet FC? This was the best episode this season. I don't want to discuss if you have not watched.

I still haven't had the chance. I just have the two babies today and I will hope I can get them to take a nap together and watch. If not - then tomorrow for sure as I will just have the 5 month old and I can watch the show even if he is awake. The 9 month old crawls all around really fast and gets into things - so I can't really get engrossed in a show and pay close attention to the baby at the same time. He's a "mad man" I tell ya!

So have you had a chance to see the latest episode yet, FC?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dang stinking baby only took two 15 min naps plus I got busy with laundry, making my mom a bracelet and doing some tax work for her. I am going to do my BEST to watch it tomorrow morning before we go out. I've got so much stuff on tape now it will take me about an hour just to find it!! I've taped 15 hours of shows in the last two weeks that I have to watch!!!!!!!!!

Isn't that always the way with babies?

No, Luke just turned 5 months old yesterday and I usually get at least one nap that lasts about two hours and one that is about an hour. I couldn't believe it wouldn't nap today!! Plus he took FIVE 9 oz. bottles!!! Hubby calls him Moose! He's a super cutie though!

That's why I love my DVR. You can tape shows that you can't watch in their original timeslots and watch them at your convenience.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!

I just watched it!!!

Awesome episode!!!!

I myself - not being spoilered - was quite surprised!!

Pleasantly though - since I didn't want to see "Richard Harris's son" leave!

Yeah - Roger had some really good zingers! Loved the "foot in the door" comment - even though I HATE amputation humor after watching my father lose both legs which has left me very sensitive to that subject. I also laughed out loud at "he'll never golf again"

Poor Joan :( I assume she will end up with her job back.

Little Sally - poor thing. I can so understand how she feels. My grandfather died when I was six and I had some "ghost" issues at the time. I was sure I saw my grandpa in the dark stairwell several times.

Sometimes Bets is such a bitch!

Looking forward to next week! Who do you think the man on the floor is????

I'm glad you finally got to see it, FC! I have to say I was a little worried when I first read the spoiler about what was going to happen because it sounded like a real "jump the shark" moment, but they handled it well. Boy, wasn't Joan a trouper?! Is there anything she can't do?

BTW, did you recognize the actor who played "Guy McKendrick?" That was Jamie Thomas King who played "Sir Thomas Wyatt" on The Tudors.

FWIW, I don't think it was so much that Sally was seeing her grandfather's ghost. It was more that the baby reminded her so much of him because he had his name, he had his room and she thought he looked like him. BTW, i had that same Barbie she got.

Yeah, I can't wait to find out who the guy on the floor is.

Well, I don't watch The Tudors so I wouldn't recognize him - but I bet Aerwin did!

Oh, I know Sally wasn't seeing a ghost. I just meant being rather spook/shook-up by the death of her grandfather. My dad's dad was the first death in the family for me and my first wake/funeral/dead body. I just think it was all a lot for Sally to process.

I had several Barbies when I was little (my love for dolls never did die down) So I had that one too. My fave though was the blonde pony-tailed with the black and white striped bathing suit!

I wonder if the guy on the floor will be the guy that drove the tractor into the office His guilt might be too much for him.

It's funny but my Barbie had no teenaged clothes. Everything she wore was either an evening gown or a smart cocktail dress or a suit.

I think it was Ken Cosgrove who brought the tractor into the office. I don't think it'll be him on the floor. Maybe it'll be Moneypenny and that's how they'll get Joan to come back.

FWIW, I don't think we know if the guy on the floor is supposed to be dead or just sick or injured.

SO true about the Barbie clothes. I think only my Skipper had cute, young clothes. My Barbie lived in evening gowns

Now that is a thought! Moneypenny! Perfect way to get Joan back.

But true - my guess is the promo shot was just a fooler to get us all excited!

I've been trying to see if there are any spoilers for the next episode but so far nothing.

I thought this episode was great! I love that Barbie! I want it. Some people are saying that the blood spatter from the lawn mower accident is symbolism for the JFK assassination and that that Barbie represents Jackie . I don't remember any brunette Barbies like that.But man Sally freaked out when that Barbie reappeared in her room. I would too. Yeah I think she thought the baby is her grandfather come back to life.
I am so happy Jared Harris is staying. I love him.
FC he is going to be back on Fringe again this year too.
