Mad Men, Leverage

[sienamystic]

I love Leverage, but this ep...is not one I'd show people in hopes of hooking them. Lots of little bits that I loved, but the whole plotline just completely failed to hold together.

Mad Men started off with a bang for them. They traditionally start off very slow and build and build the whole way through the season. But they hit the ground running, establishing lots of details about the way things are at that particular point in time, and how our characters have changed. It promises to hold up to the previous excellent seasons.

Again, no cable, so I scrounged up a load of laundry that didn't really need to get done and hauled it off so I had an excuse to watch both shows at the laundromat. Lame? Perhaps it was. I regret nothing.

I watched the entire first season of Mad Men and have yet to understand why anyone other than white males watch it. Ugh.

I find it endlessly fascinating.

I loved Season 1 and 2 of Mad Men. I started watching the third, but it was *really* slow. I've heard it picks up, so I guess I'll give it another shot. I can't watch season 4 until I get through it!

Yeah, it's true that the show tends to set off the powder kegs at the end of the season. I find the slow pace works for me, somehow, but I know it can feel like you're just watching things happen with no payoff. You definitely need to see 3 before you mobe on to 4

Season 3 was really good in my mind. It built to something really great. Keep watching, Kate!
I am honestly contemplating using the rainy day to rewatch the episode I saw last night. tee hee!
