Buffy ,'Lessons'
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
sj, it could be a misdirect. But that account would definitely emphasize some key elements that Mad Men explores.
I mean it's go the fake Main Street USA at the heart of it. That's exactly what Don does. He exploits nostalgia and the way people want to imagine themselves.
From Slate's discussion:
I think Faye didn't go out for a drink with Peggy because doing so would ruin the image that Peggy has of her. Yes, Faye is the smart, woman Ph.D. who pushes back at the partners, but she's also compromised those ideals for Don. Better to leave with her star intact. And while it's true that this season's theme has been the rise of women in the workplace, don't you think the show has painted a bleak picture of female office camaraderie? Faye rebuffs Peggy's earnest praise, Joan dresses down Peggy for her "help" in the elevator, and the secretaries are focus-group fodder.
What do you all think?
I don't think Faye particularly cares what Peggy thinks of her. Why should she?
that's what I was thinking too. We haven't been shown that Faye cares that much about Peggy's perception.
Me three. Faye didn't go out for a drink with Peggy because Peggy did not interest her, and she did not want to waste the time. She may or may not have had anything against Peggy, but she is not looking for new friends that connect with a workplace she is leaving behind. And while we know know that Peggy is cool, Faye has no reason to see her as anything but smart, earnest and humorless. Also Peggy's first reaction was "who will do our research?" which give gives Faye no reason to see her as a potential friend. Plus, from Faye's viewpoint, if Peggy wanted to be friends she could have tried before Faye's last day at work. Plus Faye probably did hear the rumor. So absolutely no reason Faye knows of for saying yes.
Ooh! I just saw a preview for Justified in February! I forgot how excited I would be about that.
Still no season 1 dvds. ::grump::
So how many episodes are in the season of Mad Men? I wasn't sure before I watched it if last Sunday's episode was the finale or not.
ETA: Typo'd the show as Man Men.
The coming episode is the season finale.
And the season finale of Rubicon.
Am excited for both.
