Please excuse the delayed commentary on the Season 5 premiere of Mad Men. As I mentioned before, I do not have cable so the majority of my entertainment is provided by Netflix, Hulu, and if a series makes the grade, Apple TV. My honeycakes sprung season pass, and if the first episode is an indicator of things to come, I will need to employ a crutch to get me through– Gibson martini(s) and a drinking game.
Take a drink anytime:
- Kathleen Turner’s voice comes out of Sally Draper’s mouth
- Peggy gripes about her work load
- Pete mentions the number accounts he brought in/is bringing in
- Joan’s figure is complemented
- There’s a gratuitous shot of Don’s bare chest or abdomen
- Lane behaves like a posh spaz
- Harry puts his foot in his mouth
- Someone in the room comments on the size of Megan’s teeth (as a toothy woman, I object.)
- Roger cracks a one liner
- A PR move is made for good PR, not actual progress
