Mad Men 17/4

[clangermum]

So many bits to love in this episode. Pete fawning at his house, then having to watch Don fix the tap, then unravelling in the lift at the end. Everyone but Lane laughing about the chewing gum. The fight. The expressions on the faces of those watching. Classic.

Me too!!

Im afraid it is only online. Have you looked at itunes to see if its on there yet?

There is a watching it online link somewhere.

Loved last weeks episode. Im not sure we will ever see Roger finding out about the baby, it must have crossed his mind. They dont have conclusions do they? Im still wondering what happened to Peggys baby.

Wasn't Peggy's baby being brought up by her Mum and sister?

Thats what I thought until someone on here corrected me and said that was her sisters baby.

I think it was Peggy's sister's baby, but I don't know if the storyline made it crystal clear either way - or if they did, I missed it!

I think Roger knows Kevin is his son, but whether he'll ever acknowledge it will probably depend on whether he thinks Joan wants to acknowledge it - is she going to take any child support from Greg? Or will be want to cut him off completely? I can imagine Roger staying gallantly silent on the matter, whereas Don... wouldn't.

Anyone else secretly hoping that Roger will get with Joan now that he has left his wife?

I'd love Roger and Joan together - what a 'power couple' !

I didn't understand why they didn't get together when he left Mona. They're so right for each other. She's the only woman who's strong enough for him. I'd love to see them together but I doubt it will happen. Too much like a Disney ending for Mad Men.

I always loved the zing between Roger and Joan, but watching Lane and Joan together has sort of made me realise how little Roger appreciates Joan beyond her magnificent corsetry - he can't see how capable she is because he has no idea about how she and Lane are actually running the business. And she's had everything she dreamed of turn to ashes in front of her, whereas Roger seems to sail through his chaos untroubled by much personal development. I can see him trying it on when he hears about her divorce, but I'd quite like Roger to be brought up short by how far Joan's come since the days when he could buy her off with fur coats and birdcages.

not that I think these people are real, or anything...

Im still not feeling it for Dons wife and, I feel bad about that.

Do you think he ever felt for Betty in that way? and, where is she? Im missing her.

January Jones was off having her baby in real life at this stage in filming- I think she reappears later on.

I really enjoyed this week's episode. Roger and Jane's acid trip was both funny and moving. Loved the musical vodka bottle and the shot of them lying on the floor with the pink towels! Megan has taken control of the relationship with Don (hurray!) And my favourite Peggy was a saucy minx in the cinema
