Back already, nice.

Can't believe we'll have to wait one year to find out whether Don Draper ends up being EmptyVessel.

 

[HoJu]

So as some of you might know Mad Men is one of my all time favorite shows, but this 7 episode - year long pause - 7 episode bullshit is fucking bullshit.

So I've decided to wait until it it's all over and just binge the last season.

So long brethren, have fun. See you in 2015

Spoiler

god dammit amc

just pretend that it's a shorter season.

 

[The Outsider]

Oh, wow, only a week away? This and Game of Thrones coming back on... it's a wonderful time of the year.

 

[Jackben]

no Glenn in the OP?

Can't wait for the premiere next week.

 

[Divius]

See you next week!

Nah, not gonna happen. I did the same with Breaking Bad and True Detective.

Good luck avoiding spoilers for a year!

Thanks That might be my biggest worry.

Might watch the first half when it's done just so I cant be spoiled.

 

[Leona Lewis]

I never thought Glen would creep me out again.

OP proved me wrong. Heart skipped more beats than is healthy...

I am very skeptical of these super-positive first episode/first few episodes reviews that we always get with these popular shows.

Fact is, Mad Men has been on a long decline. Hopefully they can find some of that old magic but..........

lolz it's not on a decline, but even on a decline Mad Men would still shit all over everything else on TV.

 

[Guess Who]

I disagree wholeheartedly.

 

[Davey Cakes]

I disagree wholeheartedly.

And I agree with your disagreement. If anything the show has consistent ups and downs, not just a downward decline.

S6 >= S5 and S4 > S3

S2 might still be the best.

There is no bad season.

Then again I'm one of the weirdos who thought Season 5 was really great. Ended up being rather divisive in the end, apparently.

I agree that the show is not what it used to be, but Mad Men still has it IMO. Even season 6 still had some pretty darn good episodes.

Oh, I will definitely watch as well and I hope the positive reviews reflect a great final season. I just can't quite get as hyped as a few years ago.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

The final scene of S6 was amazing.

 

[metalslimer]

One of the weirdos who apparently thought every season was incredible besides some of the megan stuff in season 5

 

[noobasuar]

Mad Men is the only show I feel like I can watch an indefinite amount of season of. Most other shows I get bored with them when they get to 5 or 6 seasons but I haven't felt that way with Mad Man and I wish it wasn't stopping at 7.

 

[Guess Who]

Will never understand why people don't like Megan.

 

[CharminUltra]

S2 might still be the best.

I always struggle trying to decide which season is my favorite out of 2, 3, and 4, but over time I've felt like Season 2 really struck a chord with me. That moment when

Spoiler

Duck sets Chauncey loose.

 

[giga]

Will never understand why people don't like Megan.

Vagina blocked Faye. We will never forget.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Vagina blocked Faye. We will never forget.

Don didn't deserve Faye, but we deserved more of her :'(

also I hope Sal makes an appearance in the last season, maybe in LA?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

also I hope Sal makes an appearance in the last season, maybe in LA?

I'm still holding out hope for one final appearance by Chauncey. Uu__uU

 

[Hours Left]

I'm hyped, thanks Cornballer.

Now I need more Bob, and I need him now.

I'm still holding out hope for one final appearance by Chauncey. Uu__uU

Chauncey closure... ;_;

 

[Frost_Ace]

I hate Duck so much.

 

[Nameless]

I'm hyped, thanks Cornballer.

[Pryce]

I miss Pryce.

One of the best lines in all of TV.

[Y2Kev]

YAAAAAAAAAAS I CANNOT WAIT

 

[Solo]

Love the first three seasons and think those were the best, thought 4 had several great individual episodes but overall was a step down, thought 5 was a huge drop and easily the weakest season, and thought 6 was an improvement back to about Season 4 levels.

 

[Blader]

My god, Pete's head has grown enormous

 

[Y2Kev]

I completely forgot about the drug episode. That was like unbelievable. That gif of the xacto knife...I can't watch it.

 

[Dany]

I miss Pryce.

You would. >_>

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I went back and rewatched the first episode of S1 last night and man, Don looks so young and way less empty and hopeless. You can see that shit in his eyes.

 

[Vyer]

That 80s Bob Benson sitcom video that Hamm mentioned is pretty well done.

 

[Hours Left]

Bob's one flaw, he has horrible taste in men.

 

[Supermanisdead]

yes, bob!!!!! mmmmhm.

 

[ATF487]

One of the best lines in all of TV.

I just rewatched Season 6 when it was added to Netflix, Pete was quality throughout the whole season

You're Tarzan, swinging from vine to vine!

 

[Jackben]

To be fair, it is probably Bob's fault Pete's mom is dead. Too bad Manolo didn't know the Campbell's were broke. I still love that last scene where him and Bud are like:

Bud: "Well if you think about it...it won't bring her back."

Pete: "....She always did love the sea."

I lmao every time.

 

[Ultimadrago]

The Beginning of The End.

Let's do this.

lol, so fucked up

 

[gdt]

Oh man I had no idea this was back so soon. Fuck yes I can't wait.

Pete is hilarious throughout the whole season. Kartheiser does a really underrated job with the character.

 

[Cornballer]

I loved Mad Men's upcoming season premiere: gorgeous, evocative, and full of plot details I'm not allowed to mention. Terrific.

.

 

[Calion]

S6 was incredible. The Bob Benson Story arch, the merger, and the downfall of Don. It was perfect.

 

[Grisby]

Aw yeah, best show on tv coming back.

I'm glad it's ending, end strong I always say.

- AMC Q&A: Matthew Weiner

In this interview with amc.com, Matthew Weiner, the Series Creator and Executive Producer of AMC’s Mad Men, talks about watching the cast’s audition tapes and reveals his process for writing the series ending.

 

[FootballFan]

Very excited for this.
Sad for season split.
Happy it is back.
Sad it will end.

 

[Fjordson]

Very excited for this.
Sad for season split.
Happy it is back.
Sad it will end.

Precisely.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It had been so long between my watches of the last two seasons that I completely forgot Pete fucked Alexis Bleidel at the end of season 5 and she completely disappeared in S6. Did I forget something or was that just to show that Pete got off on fucking other dude's wives?

 

[Pryce]

Any new reviews out yet?

Believe she was/went crazy or something. I know they explained her leaving just forget exactly why.

 

[Guess Who]

Believe she was/went crazy or something. I know they explained her leaving just forget exactly why.

Her husband put her through electroshock therapy, which made her forget all about Pete. Then Pete got in a fight with her husband on the train.
