Mad Men “The Crash”: An Expert Opinion

Jesse McLean — Tue, 21 May 2013 10:19:28 +0000

While this episode opens with a wild joyride, I can’t help but wonder if Don Draper will ever experience the full crash promised by the show’s opening credits. The most unexpected aspect of “The Crash” is the high-speed beginning, which marks a first for a show with a notoriously deliberate pace (one that makes Ken [...]

Mad Men is perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing show on TV right now (or possibly ever). Therefore it stands to reason that artists might flock to the program for inspiration. I thought that might be the case, and I hunted down some artwork inspired by the show that you might want to take a look [...]

Mad Men Talked About Scene - Birth of a Game Changer

Jon Lachonis — Mon, 06 May 2013 05:49:41 +0000

Mad Men started out this season in a very typical Mad Men fashion. There were some nice moments, of course, but for the most part it did seem a little like a well worn path at times. No longer. With tonight's "For Immediate Release" Mad Men revealed that all along it was quietly moving towards [...]

The most talked about scene from tonight's Mad Men, "The Flood", is the sequence that depicts the news of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's death sweeping the characters worlds. The beginning of the scene is at the awards show where Paul Newman is beginning to speak but is interrupted with word of King's death. As [...]

Mad Men has such a ferociously original brand of character and drama that it is easy to forget that it is a period piece sometimes, but tonight's "The Flood" made sure you noticed quite definitively. By dragging the narrative of Mad Men into a major historical event itself packed with emotion, the assassination of Dr. [...]

Mad Men "The Collaborators"--Dirty Little Spy: An Expert Opinion

Jesse McLean — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 10:56:03 +0000

At first blush, the second episode of season six is all about sex as currency. Pete making tacit arrangements to exchange Broadway tickets for Hair for a rendezvous in his Manhattan apartment; Joan dealing with the unctuous Herb and her unfortunate stint in the oldest profession last season; and finally with Don handing his married [...]

Mad Men "Collaborators" was full of scenes that will be told and retold at the water cooler tomorrow, but one of the most emotionally loaded scenes in the episode was this exchange between Sylvia and Megan, the two current women of Don Draper's life.

Both Don and Pete walked on coals in this week's Mad Men "Collaborators". For Don, his 'deal' with Sylvia is getting more and more complicated. The one thing they both agree to, in principle, seems to be the one thing they have no control over: their feelings. One of the best scenes was when Don [...]

Mad Men is finally back, and with it comes the return of one of my favorite TV characters, Joan Holloway. She's play by the lovely Christina Hendricks, and I just love her character on the show. She knows how to work her way around a man's world, but is also vulnerable enough to be relatable. [...]

“Midway on our life’s journey, I found myself In dark woods, the right road lost. To tell About those woods is hard—so tangled and rough And savage that thinking of it now, I feel The old fear stirring: death is hardly more bitter.” Canto I, The Inferno of Dante (translated by Robert Pinsky) In [...]

... and the news is good. This is Mad Men's next to last season, so a lot of attention is focused on audience attrition at this point. With previous pre-announced endings, such as LOST, attrition has set in at a withering pace, finding such shows ending with less than half of their audience. So how [...]

Mad Men returned with its next to last season, stepping one year forward towards the end of the 60s in appropriate style: kicking up the pot smoking in place of the drinking, pitting Peggy as a sort of female empowerment symbol, and Don getting back to his ways of 'free love' — although that's probably [...]
