Mad Men Season 3 Discussion

Since we're focusing on Draper and his past, does the opening sequence of him falling off a building mean anything with respect to a sign of things to come?

that actually sounds very plausible to me.

i think he hates his former life, but then at the same time he tried to get in touch with his brother after his callous dismissal. he talked about it with a lot of joy it seemed to the gentleman at rogers party, but then avoids it around betty, and speaks about it with such visible pain to rachel menken.

i think his feelings towards his past are all over the place

and then i remember him in someways opening up to his son Bobby in season one with his almost begging his son to be interested in him, and 'ask me anything' approach... and the apparent hurt in his eyes when bobby asked about ladybugs.

i really want to know if/how they are going to approach the apparent lack of a father in dons life as the series progresses.

"we need to get you a new daddy"

i forgot about that line. i think it was my 'carousel' moment from last season.

so far this seasons 'carousel' moment was peggys monologue this past episode... though i feel like whenever betty has her baby there is gonna be some hard core emotional scenes...

I think this episode humbled Kinsey in light of his old jersey accent, his insecurity about getting kicked out of the tiger tones, and when the young creative guy said "We got it, you're educated."

For whoever mentioned it, Pete was the only other person who was grimacing at the Sterling's blackface.

I got the ep soon after my previous post and just recently had a chance to watch it with my girlfriend. I dont watch it on TV since breaking a period show for modern commercials makes it all seem less real.

That's a good idea as I primarily watch the show to get a taste of what 1960s society was like; a fun history lesson if you will. As a viewer, you're much more a purest than I am.

I just finished season 2. If I watch tonight's ep, will I be totally lost?

this.

she has a ton of range for what a 10 year old girl, it will be interesting to see how her career goes.

i really like how don is trying, or atleast it seems like he's trying to be a better husband and father. that could be the change of momentum i was feeling early on... but i really like that despite being don draper, indulging in infidelity, and dishonesty... he is trying.

i guess it just does a lot to show his humanity

the jai alai thing... the kids arrogance was comical
