I don't have the emotional wherewithal to start anything new so I'm doing a full rewatch of Mad Men—mostly to thirst over Stan Rizzo—but I forgot how young Sally was at the start of the series; Kiernan Shipka was the casting find of the century

did I yell "Bryn Maaaaawr doesn't have sororities" with utter glee when this moment happened like the uppity alumna that I am? obviously yes https://twitter.com/halvorsen/status/1072257757590503424?s=21 https://twitter.com/halvorsen/status/1072257757590503424

January Jones' performance as Betty always got dragged but she nails every beat

swindled a friend into starting her own rewatch of Mad Men and I think we're both resisting the urge to repeat this exchange every hour

I haven't seen "Shut the Door. Have A Seat." since it aired but it has to be one of the best season finales in history. Just an exquisite reset that pushes everyone into the terrifying future—yet it's so uplifting for a show that's often bleak as hell

One of the few flaws of this show is that we never see what happens to Salvatore Romano but we check in on creepy-ass Glen every season like fucking clockwork

Folks, we've hit Season 4, Episode 6. It's time.

I've got a place you can shelter

One of the great achievements of season four is Megan's slow and steady ascension from random secretary in the background to surprise fiancée

how did I forget that Ken Cosgrove married Alex Mack

Megan singing Zou Bisou Bisou generated the same reaction in me as Kendall Roy rapping L to the OG (full body cringe until I'm in the fetal position)

Betty after her first May Hole

well folks we've reached the Bearded Stan era, aka the inspiration behind 85% of my dating choices over the last decade

did I watch this scene five times in a row? who can say

Everyone always lauds actors for extreme weight gain/loss for roles but we don't talk enough about the fact that Vincent Kartheiser shaved. back. his. hairline. for years

Vincent Kartheiser should've won an Emmy for this line delivery alone

one thing that's clear on rewatch is that the real villain of Mad Men is Harry Crane, who went from middling, inept dope to irredeemable, sleazy hell-pig in seven seasons
