Mad Men! "The Gold Violin"

[skywaterblue]

Don used to be a used car salesman! Oh my god. That's so perfect and yet terrible. You'd think he'd be a little more excited about having to go to gallery shows because he seems to like fine art. And oh God, them just leaving all their trash in the park.

"So it's smudgey squares? I dig it." LOL Rothko. It's pretty funny that Kinsey checked out and they gave the insightful lines to Cosgrove, who has never struck me as the cleverest.

Is Joan wearing a wig, or is she dying her hair a brighter orange on top? Also, holy shit, I love Jane for standing up to her and then going to Mr. Sterling. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.

Betty and Jimmy Barrett: OH NO, he totally did not just tell Betty that Don's been cheating on her with Bobbi? Sick. What a total excellent bastard he is, Jimmy. It took me a long time to warm to him, but now I hope he's around forever. This show excels in the characters who would cut a bitch with a smile on their face.

"We didn't make you head of television to shorten your attention span!"

Salvatore and Cosgrove: he's SO hitting on him, awkward, right in front of Kitty who obviously totally KNOWS THE SCORE. Mad Men needs to stop making all the marriages interesting because it's totally distracting that I care about Pete's wife -- and then predictably, I have a hard time remembering their names because on the show they truly are ONLY RELEVANT to the relationship to the male characters.

I did think Betty throwing up all over her dress was a little much, though.



Next week's episode looks compellingly amazing.

The new Microsoft ad campaign is WEIRD. WEIRD. I mean, Bill Gates seems so normal and funny and Jerry Seinfield is so obnoxious (well, nothing new there, I guess.) It's sort of like the ramped up the Apple Mac v. PC ads with more surrealism and more annoying.
