MAD about Mad Men

Honestly, that was one of the best episodes of Mad Men ever for me. Everything about it was fantastic. I've liked this season a lot, but I didn't think there were any episodes that I would necessarily call "gripping;" until this one, I absolutely couldn't look away.

Agreed. This ep totally blew me away.

It was nice to see tinkle pants back.


I liked how he slid the "buy a friend a slice of pie" bit.

One thing I thought was really cool:
Inside Mad Men Episode 5-11 (http://www.amctv.com/mad-men/videos/inside-episode-511-mad-men-the-other-woman)

I've always heard that Hamm and Moss really like and respect each other, but it's pretty well captured in this scene. Apparently, the tears were real because she didn't know that Don would be kissing her hand and holding onto her for so long.

I wish I was smarter so I could come up with something better than "holy hell," but HOLY HELL!!! What an amazing episode!!!

SPOILERS BELOW!!!

There's been a cloud of death over this whole season, so I think this was the first time in a while that we, the audience, could sort of guess what was going to happen with a character, but that certainly didn't lessen the shock. The image of Lane just hanging there is going to stick with me for awhile (not to mention the truly horrible site from the museum).

Everything about his story line was so sad and pathetic, but I think it really fit with his character. When he broke his glasses, it reminded me of the 2nd or 3rd season when his English bosses came to NYC (I think it was the infamous John Deere episode) and he quickly took them off before meeting with the higher ups. I guess he always felt like having to wear them was a sign of weakness.
Then with the car not starting after all the jokes about them was brilliant!

I don't know where the show will go from here but obviously the impact of Lane's act and Peggy leaving the company will definitely have a profound impact on Don next season.

Such a good freaking show!!!

Oh man Iwent to bed early and missed it. I have to watch tonight. Sounds like it was a gem after seeing the above "Holy Hell" comment.

It was a great episode. I am kind of glad Lane is gone he is so annoying and I was always disinterested in his character. Where I love to hate Pete it would sucked if he had died (some speculate earlier in the season his death) because I enjoy watching his life unfold.

What was Don's relationship with Sally's BFF's mom? I forgot. Did they sleep together?

I had also thought Pete might be the one to determine his own fate, but never wanted it to be him. Pete Campbell is one of my favorite characters on the show

That said Lane Pryce was one of my favorite people on the show. But what an ending, what a sad and tragic ending to someone who was so under-appreciated for what he meant to the creation and emergence of SCDP.

Don's reaction was remarkable, probably thinking back to when his half-brother committed suicide by hanging himself.

Don had no relations with Helen Bishop, she was just the neighbor.

Good call on his .05 brother forgot about that.

Ok I just remember something about her. I think it was she got a divorce and it scared Sally the same could happen to her parents.
