BUT… Don you are the MAN!
Tonight’s premier episode of the 4th season of MAD MEN was great as was expected. The gang is back together, regrouped and refreshed and re-committed. It appears as if Don is the rasion d’etre – “We’re all here because of you. We just want to please you”. Sterling and Cooper may be the veterans of the business, but Don is calling the shots as in “Get out of my office”.
Betty may be remarried but she sure is not over Don! Doesn’t want to move out of the house and “he doesn’t get to decide” – sounds like still connected to me!
He is the glory man who leads a dismal existence. Thanksgiving Day with a hooker, how traditional!! AND getting slapped for being such a bad boy!
Oh yes it is a soap opera minus the detergent and we love it, don’t we girls???
It was amazing! Chock full of new things and motifs (several allusions to “the second floor”, for example. Here’s a good video for anyone who wants to catch up on Seasons 1-3, in 5 minutes!
