    Default Mad Men Season 6

    Well the new season finally begins tonight, another 2 part opener. We last left off with Lane killing himself over being forced to resign by Don after he stole money. SCDP ends up buying up more office space in their building, Don gets Megan a part in a commercial and Peggy has gone over to work for Ted Shaw at a rival agency and Rodger is taking LSD again. Finally, at the end we see Don propositioned by some chick in a bar about how she wants him to get with her friend and we do not see what decision Don made(surprisingly Don hasn't cheated on Megan yet that we know).

    Hopefully this new season will turn out as well as the previous ones did, though I will admit I will miss the character of Lane. I will also admit I would not be upset in the slightest if we do not see Betty at all this season.

    So excited. Seems like 50 years since we last saw Don & company.

    So wow no replies yet? Well let me just say my first reaction to this episode was basically "What the fuck?". Not a bad episode, but pretty friggin strange. Why is Betty talking about helping Henry rape Sally's friend? I get it was a joke, but two things: 1-Chick wasn't that hot to me, wasn't one of those teenage girls who looks way older then she is or otherwise has beauty not befitting her age. 2: The hell was the point of the joke? That's some weird crap and even Henry kind of didn't know how to react and it was also a bit too detailed for something she thought of on the fly. Seriously "put a rag in her mouth and the boys won't hear her scream". I take back what I said about not wanting to see Betty this season, if she's going to say all kinds of crazy shit then keep her.

    Then another thing: the hair and facial hair of certain male cast members. Stan looks like a hobo, Ginsberg looks like he is waiting for the 1970's so he can become a 1970's porn star, and Pete with his sideburns looked..strange. Oh and Peggy's boyfriend Abe. I'm sure they all look good in terms of how people looked then, but it just kept throwing me off. I'm shocked Don didn't show up with a porn-stache like Ginsberg. Even Rogers hair looked a lot whiter.

    Oh and Betty? Looked..weird, I don't know how else to describe it. She looked like her skin in her face was tightened or something. I know the way people look isn't a major part, but damn did it throw me off.

    Betty is vying for the most hated character on television.

    At this point I think she just went insane. Maybe during the break she got hooked on diet pills.

    Strange is a good word to describe this. The only thing that wasn't strange was see Don back into more than one bad habit, I suppose.
    That's right! Al Gore invented the internet, let's all go kick his ass!

    I got your inconvenient truth right here, motherf*&¨%!

    Bobby's reaction to Betty's new hair color was also strange. At this point I can't tell if the show has jumped the shark or not.

    Also I was very surprised Sally called Betty..well, Betty..and she didn't seem to mind. I've never been on a first name basis with my parents. I could see if Betty was her step mom, but she isn't.

    People are forgetting that last season's opener was also kind of weird and off-putting.
    Things at Marvel that need a rest:
    1. Dr. Doom
    2. Dinosaurs/Savage Land
    3. Sentinels
    4. Time Travel
    5. Women arching their backs for no reason

    I don't know what the writers were thinkin' with that one. Betty is a crazy bitch sometimes but that seemed out of character for her and out-of-place on a show like this.

    Is it me or does he seem more neurotic after his LSD binge from last season? Maybe it just the scenes with him on the psychiatrist couch that make me think that. Was he in therapy before last season?

    I was actually wondering if January Jones actually gained the weight for the role but I think she was wearing prosthetic last season. I wasn't expecting her to change her hair color either.

    Harry Crane's new look was awesome! Gotta say I didn't notice Pete's sideburns and Kenny looks the same too.

    Don it seems is looking for an out to the marriage with Megan having his affair so close to home. Glad to see Peggy is still involved, as far as I know she's the only cast member to leave the agency and stay in the show. Yeah the Betty stuff was.... weird.

    Was the British guy working for the hotel chain the same guy who lost his leg in the lawnmower incident?

    Yeah, the openers can tend to be a bit surreal, but not in a creepy rape joke and porn mustache way. In fact I'm going to struggle to take Ginsberg seriously this season until he shaves.

    Re-watching it Pete has a bit of gray in his burns too. As for the British guy I don't think he was the same guy, was there any hint of a limp or anything? Looking it up it wasn't the same actor.

    I expected them to bring him in as soon as they got rid of Lucky Strike actually. But you know if he had already been brought in once he returned this season he'd be sporting a pornstache and a boyfriend.

    Betty is acting completely out of character now it's so weird i seriously doubt her new husband is checking out some girl who isn't even developed yet.
    If he was gonna be like that he would probably go with Sally since she is starting to come into her own and not just physically.

    It seems very odd to see everyone but the older men in SCDP grow a beard or a mustache especially when the 70's aren't here yet.
    Roger looks like he is starting to lose his hair a little bit since last season.
