Times a changin'. Gunna be interesting for closet racists who were a fan of the show not having a black cast member
"I really liked the show until that damn season five."

not overly impressed by the premier
seemed kind of sluggish and the writing was rusty
megan is pretty annoying
good to have it back though

Bring Naturi Naughton back(she played the black bunny last season). Pryce has jungle fever. I'm sure he owes her some favors.
Oh shit, that's right... That Playboy Club show is off the air, I don't think she's working right now.
Whatevs. I really enjoyed it.

I definitely missed watching this show on Sunday nights.
Given the layoff, taking the time to re-establish the interpersonal dynamics (and really, to fully introduce Megan as a full-fledged character/castmember) worked really well. One of the funniest episodes they've ever done, but there was despair lurking in unexpected places that made it really work.

Loved the 2nd hour, the 1st hour was a bit awkward.

i can't imagine anyone dumb enough to be racist enjoying the subtlety of a show like mad men

Can we get more than one?
You never know... not every dumbass is a racist and not every smart person is accepting of everyone.

I'm racist against French Canadians.
To me Megan's just coming off as mentally ill instead of sexy. All of her scenes were hella awkward. It's kind of hard to understand why Don likes her considering his low bullshit tolerance. Betty is about 1000x more interesting, they should've just left Don single.
Still not getting the baby testicles scene either, outside of creepy-Weiner's strange tendencies toward sexualizing children.

We get to see baby testicles but not Megan's boobs.
Why, AMC!???

There's a bracket of the fanbase that cheer Don's behavior and how "it was better back then" so I wouldn't rule it out.

same. to my mind, the fact that she is his wife and not a fling is reflective of don's erratic emotional thrashing that's always just beneath the placid surface.

Glad to have Mad Men back in my life. Lane is fucking crazy. Keeping the picture was one thing, but to have that damn in your wallet?
I know he's kind of the medium that the show operates through, but I kind of wish they'd cut Don's character back a bit at this point. We just had an entire season that was essentially an expose on him, I'd like them to ramp up Pete and Roger's out of the office doings more. Let Don take a back seat and work through his inevitable divorce with this nutjob.
Not before we get to see some more of dat ass...Got dayum.

They probably filmed enough takes to ensure his raging erection was not in frame
They had to put sideboob in to counteract Don's almost-squatchpubes in the same shot.

Don is infatuated with Megan. I mean, she's sexy as hell, but obviously they don't work. Will Don ever find "the one?" I don't think it's possible for any of these characters to end up genuinely happy. There's no pleasing any of them.
Since season one I always thought Joan+Don would be perfect. Don initially enjoys pretty girls with no real brains, but he actually would respect Joan like the Jewish department store girl. Also Joan would probably be into the slap you in the face beat your ass hooker sex Don had and loved from his old hooker.
Fucking Lane and his paranoia about the cabbie dang.
