Did anyone catch "Mad Men" last night?

[Yavin4]

Did anyone else get the chills seeing a pregnant woman in a Laurel Canyon home in Los Angeles in 1969? Thought for sure that they were going for a Manson family murder scene.

1. I thought that too.

2. When his niece came out of the bathroom...

I jumped.

3. There is a lot of speculation that Helter Skelter may be where this season's show is headed...

I've seen several blogs alluding to the pregnancy of the "niece"--by the musician currently jailed, the actress wife of the good looking powerful (ad exec), currently living in the canyon surrounding LA, the focus on the "decadent" hippie lifestyle, drugs, etc. pointing in that direction.

I sort of hope that isn't where we are headed, but time will tell.

Geebus, I'm still reeling from Ginsberg's self-mutilating break-down.

4. That never even occurred to me

ewwww....

I get stuck on the fact that everyone in the show seems so stunned by Meghan and yet she is average at best. Mind boggling to me. Worst.casting.ever.

6. Understood but...

The parallel is still there.

7. All I could focus on was Ginsberg's nipple

It wasn't where I thought it would be.

9. Yes.. uggh.

But I have to say that three-way that Don's wife instigated seemed to me the most unsexy sex scene I'd ever seen. I guess it was meant to convey Meghan's increasing attempts to "connect" with Don and desperation to get his attention? I have to say, though the scene was uncomfortable (and that has NOTHING to do with the premise of a three-way sex act being portrayed)

10. It didn't appear to go too well...

...as per the 'morning after'. But it was good to see ol' womanizer Don see what it was like to be objectified.


And those 3-ways ALWAYS seemed like a good idea at the time.

8. I'm expecting some type of end to the innocence of the 60's

Wherever they are going, I don't expect it to be too obvious, but I do fully expect something bad to happen to Stephanie. Her life seems to be spiraling out of control. She's never been more than a minor character, but her impact to Don is great, so a bad ending here just seems inevitable.

11. The name of the last show of the mini season

is Waterloo.

[Major Nikon]

12. I'm kinda thinking Waterloo might be a reference to Lou

He is turning into an ever bigger asshole that nobody seems to like other than Jim. He has to go down at some point.

13. Is there another season after this one?

[Yavin4]

14. Yes. They're splitting the final season into 2 years like they did for "Breaking Bad". nt
