That's cute.

Is the killing really that bad? I thought it looked like a shameless rip off Twin Peaks but was semi-interested in it.

I watched the first three or four episodes. It takes FOREVER for anything to happen and neither the plot nor the characters were really that interesting to me at least.

A bunch of the cast will be on The Today Show this morning.

Watched it this morning. Nothing really major came out of that interview, but it was entertaining to watch Jon Hamm defend his statements against Kim Kardashian and see Vincent Kartheiser reiterate those statements.

You know how in police procedurals and medical dramas, you can find out if they caught the right thing by how much time is left in the episode?
It was like that, but for an entire season,
and then it turns out to be a season ending cliff hanger.

Man Weiner sure does hate being in the back. Is it just me or was everyone really bad at selling the show?

Today my Mad Men rewatch ends and I'm really psyched for the premiere of season 5!
I really liked revisiting a show I watched before and I think of doing the same thing with The Sopranos. I enjoy reading insightful reviews after watching an episode... but I don't know about any site that covered The Sopranos in the early seasons.
Does anyone have a good link?

they weren't done when the episodes were first shown but the av club has done reviews for sopranos episodes in seasons 1-5
http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/tvshow/the-sopranos,107/
Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!
Has Jon Hamm's voice always been this hoarse? I started noticing it the other night when he was on Kimmel or Letterman.
Kiernan is fierce. I predict she will become HBIC by the last season.
Title, no raise of course.
By the way, since the official trailers for season 5 were already linked in the OP, what are your favorite older trailers to get you hyped for Mad Men?
My favorite official trailer is this one:

My favorite fanmade trailer is this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjgUwYxE2jY (Scenes from season 1, song from season 2).

Just finished up "The Beautiful Girls" on my rewatch.
This is awesome.
I was mildly interested until they botched the ending completely.

"Hands and Knees" is tough to watch with this stuff between Lane and his dad.
EDIT: Oh yeah, Don's complete meltdown when the government starts background checks and Lee Garner pulls the plug on the Lucky Strike account.

No Waldorf Stories? That episode is magical, especially the flashbacks
Yeah, I always skip those scenes during rewatches. Poor Lane :-(

The real best show on television returns in July but this is a nice warm-up. Like when your favourite comedian gets a slightly inferior comedian to get the crowd ready!
Last time I checked, Arrested Development won't return until 2013.
I can't be trolled to say anything disrespectful about Breaking Bad, I like it just so much.
I can't say anything disrespectful about Louie, either. Damn you, GAF and your good taste in TV.

He meant Louie, not Breaking Bad.

Note: that article does spoil when S5 starts and the time gap between S4/S5 if you do the math. Apparently that mystery is a big part of the premiere, so read at your own risk. Please spoiler tag any discussion of the time related stuff. Thanks.
For those curious about the article - the critics told Weiner that one of the songs he picked for the premiere wasn't released until six months after the episode takes place, so he swapped a new song in for the broadcast premiere.
So I've been rewatching this before the premier and I came across a bit in (I think) the last episode of S2 that I didn't quite get.
Does Joan actually get "raped" by her fiance in Don's office while he's in Cali? There were so many flashbacks in that episode that I couldn't tell if the odd splicing at the end of it meant that she was just imagining it, or if it actually happened
