it starts in the year 2015 when Don and Peggy are leaders of the resistance. The season plays as a series of flashbacks showing how they got to that point.

There is no new footage in these commercials. Matthew Weiner is crazy protective about new footage, and hasn't sent out screeners because he believes critics "spoiled" the before last season's premier.
I watched on netflix so I dunno how bad there promos are but I heard they were some of the worst, youtube isn't helping me search.

Their vagueness is what I love about them. I read way too far into trailers and remember EVERYTHING, so I love not having any idea of what is going to happen.
Though, the two you posted are a bit more revealing than usual. One of them actually showed two sides of a conversation!

Oh okay. That's good to know! Thanks for all the responses!
Maybe she's pregnant with Henry's baby?
lordt, they make the show look like a daytime soap opera.

I meant in-story. You know, like how there was 2 years between season 1 and 2 and 1 year between season 3 and 4.

I think the S1->S2 jump was a little more than a year. Thanksgiving 1960 to Valentine's Day 1962, so that would be 15 months.

I can't wait anymore... Worst part is I'm in the Netherlands so I have no idea when the new season will even start airing here, ugh. I was lucky I could just rent the first 4 season from the library and watch it obsessively, how am I going to survive waiting for the new episodes while you guys get to see everything already. This is why I don't like getting into shows that are still running, at some point you're out of seasons and you have to wait for a new episode every week.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
You might be able to watch the premiere on AMC's website - and there is always iTunes and stuff if you don't want to straight up pirate it

lol, poor Kinsey
Amazing how they turned the character you most sympathized and felt sorry for in S1 into the most unlikable character by S5.

TV.com is doing a rewatch with episode summaries which might be helpful. There's also shorter recaps on the AMC website.

Hm, they'll probably only make it available for US citizens on their site though. And I've never bought TV shows from iTunes or the like, but from what I've seen on other services the per episode price isn't that cheap unfortunately. (The price per season DVD at my library was 2 euro's which is an amazing deal, 13 x 45 minute episodes at 16 cents per episode and with better image quality than I would have gotten from the TV channel it's on here. I mean I love books and reading, but finding out that my library had all these amazing shows for that cheap was crazy.) I just hope they bring it to TV soon after it hits the US.
It truly is. I thought I couldn't hate anyone more than Don, but she's a real nutter.

Amen to that.
Not sure if I should applaud or condemn the writers for that direction.
....Aw, hell. I'll applaud. I've come to enjoy Dick Dastardly Queen Betty.

They are, saw a couple during last week's episode of Walking Dead.

Yeah, I saw them too during last week's TWD.
Might have been my favorite part, lol. I got hyped.
No doubt, I want to be a contributor in the S5 thread

Random question (that occurred to me while re-watching S4): Have they announced who they cast as Bobby Draper 4.0?

I'm expecting them to kill off Bobby this season.
sixteen-bit

Haha, with as little screen time he has it would probably be inconsequential.
BertramCooper

Attacked by a pack of dogs? Hit by a FedEx truck? Drowned by his mother in the Hudson?
Yeah, Bobby is basically the Judy Winslow of Mad Men.

Betty drowning him would be fitting.

I don't think they have.

I don't think Bobby's lack of development is a huge issue or anything, but it's definitely one of the show's biggest weaknesses.
It wouldn't be so glaring if Sally weren't getting such meaty material.

Bobby's going the Walt Jr. route and only showing up to eat.

Well, he does love sweet potatoes.

I just read an article from August that said that
the new Bobby was set to appear in 7 episodes this season. Obviously things could have changed since then but hopefully that means he'll have a more prominent role. Of course, it could just mean that he appears in the background too.

Just started season 4 and everything is weird. Loved the last episode of season 3, it felt bad ass in a way the show doesn't but man, it's really hard to get used to their new office.

Reminding the audience he exists before killing him off.
Yeah, it was odd but you figure out where everything is soon enough.
