The Morning After: Mad Men Season 6 Premiere

As our other beloved TV programming proceeds to wrap up their regular seasons, AMC's Mad Men is just getting started! Once again we are introduced to our favourite (Megan) and least favourite (Pete) vintage characters. It's 1969 and things are happening! We will concisely review last night's 2 hour episode through the prominent players:

Peggy: She is most definitely coming into her own, if not a little too much. She is great at what she does, but seems like a tough boss and we predict her underlings will start to hate her and cause trouble! Also, what is going on with Abe? His facial hair and shaggy do, while stylistically on point, are ugly and we miss his clean cut cuteness! We are excited to see more action from these two as a couple, good or bad!

Betty: We are convinced she will be thin and back to fighting weigh by episode 3, and we're fine with it. We are officially scarred by her rape comments, clearly John Francis was too! That would be shocking coming from anyone, let alone Betty Francis' underdeveloped imagination!

Sally: She is turning into such a disagreeable and snotty teenager! Nuff said.

Megan: We loved Megan in this episode. Much like last year's premiere, she really stole the show with her amazing outfits. That beach wear was to die. Megan is consistently the chicest character on television. We cannot wait for her to find out about Don's philandering, she will not take that shit kindly and will likely blow up. Don's second divorce will be nothing like his first!

Roger: We laughed when Roger's shrink said "We discussed this, I can't laugh at everything you say." Mostly because we are pretty sure that's been said to us like a 100 times. His electric blue double breasted jacket for the photoshoot was amazing. His fixation with death leads us to believe he could die this season…although that could be said about Don too.

Don: We are really disappointed with Don's adultery. Did not see it coming! But are impressed with Linda Cardellini's casting, she has come a long (be it under the radar) way from Freaks and Geeks! Anyway, Don is still very troubled and that scene at the funeral was painful to witness. At least he feels bad about the cheating and wants to stop. We don't think he feels bad about the barfing…
