[RatskyWatsky]

I'm sort of surprised that Kiernan Shipka is being invited to all of these cast interviews and bell ringings and such. I'm guessing that means her role in season 5 will be significant larger than in previous seasons...?

She got promoted to regular cast last year I think

I was listening to her when she was on the Today Show earlier this week (late last week? can't remember) and she seems to be developing a kind of valley girl accent. Wonder if you'll be able to notice it this season.

Yep, her name is in the intro

 

[Black Mamba]

finished season 4 last night. Oh Don.

Can't wait for the season premier. Might watch a few episodes from the past before the premiere. Don looks so much older now than in season 1. Noticed that when I watched one of the trailers.

Just wait when we'll get to S11:

- Newsday Review: Gone 17 months, still flawless *some spoilers*

"Mad Men" is back and back in all the right ways -- the humor, the writing, the period details, and best of all, the flawless attention to these characters and their cluttered interior worlds.

Mad Men: The Game (8 Bit youtube game)

This chippy renditions of the RJD2 intro and Carbonara's original music is neat

 

[SaltyDoughnut]

Title, no raise of course.
My favorite fanmade trailer is this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjgUwYxE2jY (Scenes from season 1, song from season 2).

Yeah, I really liked that trailer as well when I watched it a while back and have been watching it on and off ever since.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vesjh3LXSKM

this trailer is really, really great

It looks like this one is made by the same guy, Lyle Goodale.

I've looked at his stuff before (he has his own website with trailers - from what I can tell it's a little out of date though).

All of it is great and there are some more Mad Men trailers up on it. It looks like he is working on some more trailers as well.

 

[Stallion Free]

What is the song from that trailer?

NM, found it in the comments: 40 Day Dream-Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

Probably shouldn't have turned those off lol.

- Sepinwall review: 'Mad Men' returns in fine form for season

And as it returns on Sunday, it is still specific, and peculiar, and the same "Mad Men" it ever was. It is smart and funny in some moments, sad and ugly in others. It is meticulously, beautifully observed. It understands its characters intimately, and recognizes that its viewers understand them as well and don't need to be spoon-fed. (Many of the best moments in the premiere, as they've been for the life of the series, come from silence, or from what isn't being said.) It has a deep, versatile cast that it uses tremendously. It is great to look at, and listen to.

It is, after all this time, "Mad Men." And despite all the comings and goings on TV in the last 17 months, despite the great work being done on FX and HBO and Showtime, the premiere suggests that the only other show that belongs with it in the discussion for the best drama on television is the same one we were talking about last season. There is "Breaking Bad," and there is — finally, thankfully, exceptionally — "Mad Men," and then there is everything else.

WHAT.

It's probably just a misunderstanding and not actually a spoiler, to be honest, but if it's true it's pretty big. I'd suggest no one click it.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Thanks for the heads up, I was so tempted to highlight that spoiler.

 

[Stallion Free]

Oh man if that spoiler is true, this season is gonna be fucking amazing.

 

[dead souls]

It's probably just a misunderstanding and not actually a spoiler, to be honest, but if it's true it's pretty big. I'd suggest no one click it.

Yeah, I'm thinking that must be a mistake. It doesn't seem like something the show would do.

 

[Dany]

I am not clicking that.

 

[Mangotron]

Yeah I'm kind of assuming it's not true, because it implies a pretty big leak somewhere, and they keep this show under pretty tight wraps. I updated the description since it is pretty big if true.

 

[dave is ok]

He's only sent out the premiere to reviewers - and he's pretty crazy about spoilers since that magazine spoiled last seasons premiere.

 

[Stallion Free]

Yeah, I'm thinking that must be a mistake. It doesn't seem like something the show would do.

Think of all the wonderful issues that would arise.

 

[Mangotron]

Oh, good. I was afraid it was revealing some season-long arc. Unless she leaked it...

But holy shit... my mind is going crazy with possibilities if it's true.

 

[gdt]

Oh jesus why would they print that.

Dear god what the fuck.

 

[giga]

I want that rumor to be true.

 

[Mangotron]

Facebook page is updated with this:

Whoops, let's try this again ... Hot off the presses, our interview with actress Alison Brie, who plays Pete Campbell's wife on "Mad Men."

Either a coverup, or a missprint. I'm guessing the latter.

I'm guessing the latter too. It doesn't seem to be even a remotely plausible plot for the show.

 

[shadyspace]

Fuck, I want to read it now that it's been seemingly debunked... but I still don't want to risk it.

 

[Vyer]

I read it, but yeah, that's either a 'correction' or someone trying to cover their ass. Either way I would recommend no one read that spoiler.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

lol I'm gonna go with: that was fake but I could see them trying to cover their ass.

Anyway I'm not paying it any mind.

Yea this is what I'm thinking too, they have vaguely similar styles in the show.

 

[petethepanda]

Not gonna click just in case, but I'm definitely going to try and remember to check back here and read it once the season is over lol

 

[Eggplant Wizard]

Breaking Bad might be my favorite thriller ever, but watching Mad Men is an experience that no other entertainment can replicate. It also might be the greatest water cooler show ever, so I'm excited for this thread to take off. Sunday is too far away.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Just finished season 3 during my re-watch in a week. The finale is so good when they start the idea to make their own office.

 

[Leona Lewis]

I'm guessing the latter too. It doesn't seem to be even a remotely plausible plot for the show.

It's obviously a misprint. Some random magazine doesn't know jack about what's happening this season.

- Jace Lacob @ The Daily Beast: Before Season 5, Let's Remember Season 4

Who remembers what happened 17 months ago? No one! Jace Lacob re-watched Season 4 of Mad Men to remind you where we left Don Draper, Peggy Olson, Joan, and the rest of the characters.
