MAD MEN -- Season FIVE Official Thread (part2)

She'll probably become a rainmaker at her new firm and then come back as a full partner.

I love this series

 

Just watching series one rerun on SKY Atlantic HD
More engrossing than first watch on BBC4(SD)
Watched 2 eps, back to back,far superior to Olympic tele.....

 

Just finished watching season five on blu-ray last night (no cable).

So is the consensus pretty much that Don will be back to his old cheating ways next season? The finale sure seemed to heavily imply that.

Is Roger going to go deeper and deeper into the use of psychedelics?

 

Every time I think I know what they're going to do, they surprise me. So I'm not making any guesses.

 

True, but it's still fun to speculate.

I wish we would have gotten more of Ginsberg, the new character. It seemed a little odd that they introduced this new character and hardly explored him. Hopefully we'll see more of him next season.

 

Well, my late wife had a brain that wouldn't stop, speculation round the clock, and it didn't bring her peace. I've not been a big fan of speculation since! It's fun for me just a tiny bit and then I just shrug and wait to find out what they deliver.

Ginsberg was an interesting, if annoying character. We'll see more of him, I'm sure. If I find a character annoying, eventually he's heavily featured!

 

Ginsberg is a minor character. During the season, I thought Ginsberg was written in as a foil to Don Draper, drawing parallels to Roger Sterling and Peter Campbell as older/younger foils.

With Peggy Olson's departure and Lane Pryce's fate by the end of Season 5, though, the firm will have fewer characters inside the firm going into Season 6. The intent from the beginning of Season 5 may have been to set up Ginsberg as a character within the firm, who can be used to fill Peggy and Lane's void in the next season.

 

Is the new season filming yet?

 

Nevermind, I see the new thread for Season 6.

 

That was my guess as well. More annoying ahead!

 

Just a quick question: Which song was played at the end of episode 11 when Don and the kid are driving in the car? I like that song ...
