All In With The Nuts
DRUGS ARE BAD, MMKAY.
DON AND ROGER STILL DON'T GET HOW THESE HIPPIE KIDS OPERATE.
BOB REALLY BELIEVES HIS OWN BS!
WHO KNEW JOAN'S A PLAYA! PEGGY'S JEALOUS-HAPPY-JEALOUS! BUT WILL AVON CALL?? TUNE IN NEXT WEEK!
This was a strange, crazy, WTF hour...some of it in a really good way, and some of it in a "that's a little too contrived" way. John Slattery directed, and I don't think it's his best episode. Maybe it's because he usually doesn't act quite so much in other episodes he directs -- it has to be hard to do double-duty.
Ginsberg having a psychotic meltdown, only for Bob to fly in and save the day with his "win one for the Gipper" shtick -- Mad Men scenes aren't usually this one-dimensional. Sure there are other questions -- is Ginsberg truly cracking up, is Bob wound so tight that he's destined to explode, etc. But usually there seems to be more going on in any given minute. I don't know if it was the writing or the directing, but something wasn't perfect there.
Same with Joan & Peggy's fight in the lobby. It's funny that Harry Hamlin is hanging around the place now, because I keep drawing similarities to "LA Law" in some of the storytelling this season. The argument they had -- if there was something wrong, I think it was the writing this time. "This is how my charactger feels right now!" "Well this is what MY character is going through right now!" It was a little too presentational and on-the-nose for me. I loved the story idea -- Joan finds other ways to prove her worth as a partner and force people to respect her -- but the execution did seem a little 90's LA Law to me.
HEY LOOK, DON STILL DOESN'T FIT IN TO 1968! I STILL WASN'T SURE ON THAT POINT! At least there were fewer "MEGAN'S GONNA GET STRUNG UP ON A MEAT HOOK" references this week.
I dunno...maybe I'll watch this a few more times and see all kinds of things I'm not seeing yet.
In any case, Bob's getting shipped off to Detroit, to be invisible like Ken. Wonder how that will pan out...
