Topic: Say it isn't so! Only THREE more episodes of Mad Men for this season!!

Additional Comments: I can't believe it! Only 13 or 14 episodes of the best show on TV. I thought most series ran at least 18 episodes. I just about fell over when I heard this. Last night was episode 10 and it was great as usual. It should be very interesting when Betty confronts Don about his secrets; or will she. She put the box back, locked the desk and returned the keys to his pocket. This show keeps everyone guessing what's going to happen next. I love it!

Shar I agree it is way too soon!! I love Mad men!

They do the short seasons on HBO, Showtime TV. but not on shows with Advertisers! I don't get it.

Though it was done very well, I did not like last Sunday show. It was very sad, bc Don seems to really care for that woman. I was upset on what he is doing to Betty. Do you think she will find out and turn to the Gov. Assit. guy? I keep thinking Betty will get cancer since she smokes so much. But people did not think of that then.

Well I noticed this season it is more on the story of Don and Betty and not so much of the others in the office.

I agree that the Mad Men season is far too short.   Thirteen episodes just doesn't cut it and it is really half a season.   I am not a fan of the teacher and I really sense a fatal attraction brewing.    There is really going to be trouble in River City with this relationship.     There really has been nothing mentioned about Peggy and Pete's baby, I wonder if this topic will be revisted this season.     I just love the scenes with little Sally Draper - that girl just cracks me up.    It sounds a litte strange, but I almost don't want to watch the final three episodes for a few weeks.  I almost want to keep them on my DVR and save them for a ''treat'' down the road.

Well rats!!

I knew that teacher was going to be a problem for Don. She doesn't seem to understand that her job as a mistress is to be undemanding. Don is not "with her." He's doing here. Period.

Poor Peggy, so good at her job and so threatening to all those men. Good for her.

I knew when the phone rang at the Draper residence that both Betty and Don had reason to worry. Was it the man Betty is teasing or the woman Don's screwing? It's pathetic how each of them had to worry.

I was dying to see Bets confront Don about his divorce and his other life. I wonder now if she'll ever do it. It's obvious Mrs. Draper is very good at suppressing her feelings. She may figure as pissed as she is there's nothing to be gained by a confrontation. Or she may beat him over the head with it when he least expects it.

Pete was just gross. Jazz, liquor and his right hand. Although I did appreciate when he told Don he hadn't written down his idea that Don said "I hate when that happens." It happens to everyone.

This really is the best show on television.

I thought this season would end at the JFK assassination, since Roger's daughter was getting married the day after JFK died. I am not sure of that anymore, because we have not reached Halloween yet.

I cannot believe Lois is still working at SC.

I don't know that Betty's pieced it all together but she we know she saw Don's divorce decree from Anna, Don's dog tags, Dick's dog tags, someone's honorable discharge paperwork and then childhood pictures of Don where he's identified as Dick. I liked the way that they had Betty find out about Don's secret identity. It is so much more realistic than any of the more dramatic scenarios that other shows would adopt.

Oh Don, I do love you, but HATE him and the teacher storyline. Giving the brother his card was sure a mistake.

I noticed that Paul takes the "Are you a Jackie or a Marilyn?" ad out of his desk. Then a big cloth napkin or hanky that seemed to be kept special for cleanup purposes. I was grossed out because he was doing it in a public place, Peggy was still in the building (I think she left as he was doing it) and then after, he shook Achilles' hand with what I'm assuming was the hand he used for the activity.

I liked the Peggy/Paul storyline, and how Peggy is continually able to be smart and efficient without becoming the stereotypical woman in the workplace, even if that's all how they see her at first (especially Paul).

I want to see more of the going ons at Sterling Cooper. More Peggy and Pete! I want to find out about Peggy and Duck. I think Duck is going to buy SC.

Unpopular Opinion, but I do not miss Joan, but I want Sal back.

  • ahhhhh I can't wait to see this episode... I haven't had a chance to watch it yet and this sounds amazing. My guess is Betty will continue to deceive Don in her own way and not roack the boat at home... let's face it, 3 kids and no job... she's no dummy. They all have secrets now. - kris
  • I think she's going to have that affair with Henry now. We'll see./Dina

    One has to wonder, since she was planning on confronting him, what might have happened if he came home. Then she quietly put it all back. Guess all that waiting gave her ideas.

    Should lead to a fabulous season ending.
