Mad Men

The Christmas episode of Mad Men put us in a holiday mood:


And by "holiday mood" we mean a state of Don-and-Joan-induced euphoria.

We're thankful for last night's episode of Mad Men—whipped cream, Manischewitz and all.


Nobody wakes Don Draper up on a Sunday just to throw their failures in his face.

Last night's Mad Men had us reaching for our Sylvia Plath books, our Gilmore Girls DVDs, and our tubs of Cool Whip.


Okay, maybe not the Cool Whip.

Last night's Mad Men blew us away!


You know what we mean.

We're going to need a room at that Howard Johnson motor lodge to process everything that happened on Mad Men last night. What a trip!


Strange things are afoot at the Howard J.

Last night's episode of Mad Men was a knockout!


You wanna take your teeth out? Or you want me to knock them out?

What would happen if the Capitol sent 24 characters from Mad Men to the arena to kill or be killed? Would Betty’s ennui be enough to take on Don’s powers of manipulation? Does Sally have what it takes to compete against Joan? Can Roger convince his sponsors to keep the booze coming? Which Mad Men tribute truly has the odds ever in their favor?

We imagined said SCDP Hunger Games in the infographic after the jump. Take a look at our arena, and vote in our poll to determine which tribute would be the victor!

Last night's Mad Men episode has us on the edge of our seats! (Or, more accurately, hiding under them.)


Don might look bad now, but things are about to get a whole lot worse.

Last night's Mad Men brought us the return of Betty, not one but TWO new SCDP employees, and a bag of mini burgers best consumed in Don's car outside of a Rolling Stones concert.


Is anyone else worried that Peggy might be shaking on more than she bargained for with this guy?

After 18 long months, Mad Men returned last night with a two-hour episode, bringing plenty of cocktails, office power plays, and surprise-party dance numbers along with it:


Don't let my fake laugh deceive you—I'm so pissed right now." - Don

Andi, Annalee, and I will be recapping Mad Men this season (just like we did with Project Runway All Stars). However, since we assume you watch the show too—and since there are plenty of summary recaps out there—we'll be picking and choosing parts we find most interesting to talk about each week. Be sure to join in in the comments!
