Another week, another awesome Mad Men episode.

[owlbeer]

Buh ... uh ... awesome. So much happened for a Mad Men episode. My head is spinning with awesome.

Mad Men: the show where everything will eventually come back to kick you. Hard. In some cases literally, with an additional cane. Eep.

My notes on this episode are full of, 'Oh, Don,' 'Oh, Joan,' 'Oh, Roger,' 'Oh, Lane.' It was that kind of episode. I somehow still love them all, for all their faults.

Roger: I actually fear for his chances of surviving. Maybe he'll live this season, but the next one? I'll be interesting to see where they take him. The Lucky Strike thing was bound to happen, but oh, it's not going to be pretty. John Slattery did an awesome job. He was sweet to Joan (mostly), which I was pleased to see because I don't know if I would have forgiven him had he not been.

Don: Oh, Don. I was so relieved when the Beatles tickets worked out, if only to see Sally happy for a little bit. I loved Don and Faye together again. I'm so glad he did end up telling her about Korea. I hope they don't screw this up ... but then this is Don, and I don't quite like the way his glance lingered on Megan. Hmm. Jon Hamm was amazing as ever. Especially in the freaking out scenes. I think he's pretty much got that Emmy sorted.

Joan: Oh, Joan. Soldiering on. I'm really not sure she had the abortion though. Really not sure.

Lane: Dude. Did not see that coming. That cane ... jesus. I hope things work out for him in the end. Yeah, this is Mad Men, I'm aware.

Pete: He was less of a dick that I had feared, and you had to feel for him at the end. But honest, you are not, Peter Campbell. Not my a long shot.

I ... actually had some respect for Betty this episode. Weird.



This show = amazing. Seriously.

In other TV: Bones was eh there was Wendell and that was very happy making! and The Event was outright bad, but in a sort of 'I want to see how bad it gets' way.

Fringe:

1. More cast interviews. I haven't got through them all but the Josh one is worth watching (yeah, I would say that), but not because he's hilarious, this one is very straight-up, but because he spends 5 minutes talking just about Peter, not Peter and the love triangle. It's interesting, and also proves Josh can fanwank with the best of them about what Peter did at the end of S2. He almost sold me on his theory.

2. Bones and Fringe promo for this week's episodes. Bones, eh, but Fringe, guh. I feel a little like I'm cheating on Olivia, but Alt!Livia/Peter is waaay hot in this promo. Damn it Josh and Anna.

3. Fringe seems to have zapped my ability to read the word Bolivia as anything other than a reference to Olivia. I was just reading something and it took me so long before I finally went, 'Oh the fucking country!' *shakes head*

4. I was reading some reviews of 3x01 on other sites and um, there are some crazy people about in the comments. I mean I love Josh/Peter too people, but wow. There are crazy people on the internet, this really shouldn't surprise me.

Other:

1. Cute short film called 'Voices' with Sean Biggerstaff (yes, Oliver Wood!) and Laura Fraser (from A Knight's Tale and David Tennant's Casanova). I was linked at ONTD and it's pretty cool and oh god, that accent. I'd completely forgotten about the Sean/Oliver Wood thing I had after the early HP movies. (Well, the Oliver Wood thing started in the books, but the movies made it worse). My walking tour guide in Edinburgh sounded very similar and needless to say, it was a pretty amazing tour.

2. Singapore GP was pretty eh. I really think Alonso might run away with it and that would make me sad. Poor Jenson has scored okay in the last two GPs and is back to 5th, while Lewis has DNF-ed twice and is still 3rd. Fingers crossed.

I was meant to be finding out if I had to go into work at temp office this week or not, and no phone call. Damn. I really need those three days. Will have to email tomorrow.
