"You only live twice or so it seems, one for yourself and one for your dreams."

This James Bond theme song closes the season, bringing back Don Draper's double life in a satisfying, if not exciting, finale. Nothing crazy happened, but in the last two weeks Peggy quit, Joan prostituted...

Well, we knew it was coming.

There has been such an overwhelming sense of doom hanging over this season with death symbols popping up at every turn: mass murders, sniper shootings, empty elevator shafts, dream-murders and Don doodling a noose. A noose! Talk about literal foreshadowing.

Death has been...

Jaguar. Joan. Megan. Peggy. Women. Sex. Power. Framed by the Jaguar pitch, "The Other Woman" is a beautifully brutal depiction of prostitution -- cracking open a theme deeply embedded in the series, but never truly explored. Don's mother was a prostitute, all the men sleep with prostitutes. Our beloved Sal...

Christmas come early: Kinsey! Joan and Don! Baby Daddy Roger! This was fun.

Jon Hamm and Christina Hendricks are electric on the screen together. It's impossible to think about anything else, so let's just start here. Joan has kept her cool in the office all season...

Even the Devil drinks a Sno Ball and even Mad Men can get hit in the face. "Dark Shadows" just wasn't on its usual high level of awesomeness. It's titled after the 1966-1971 vampire daytime drama (weirdly coinciding with Tim Burton's movie remake released this weekend) that Megan's...

I loved this episode. It was face-paced, it was funny, it was deep and it had the Beatles.

The title "Lady Lazarus," comes from a Sylvia Plath poem of the same name about a woman who "dies" multiple times but is each time reborn, like a...

The episode title, "At The Codfish Ball," is a Shirley Temple song from the 1936 movie Captain January (video below) about all the different fish "from the herring to the whale" going down to a jamboree, at the bottom of the sea. In their own jamboree, old and new characters...

I'm at Coachella. I just got back to my room and put on this episode. Is this show tripping or is it just me?

"It's the study of the way things are true and false. Some things are possibly true, some are necessarily true, some used to be true,...

Crazy episode! "Signal 30" is the best episode yet of the season and it opens with a car crash. Pete's driver's ed class is watching "Signal 30", the horrifying highway safety video of "serious accidents caused by careless driving," and as the title of the episode, we watch a...

"Mystery Date" is all about women and violence. Peggy's artsy TIME photo editor friend Joyce comes in with crime scene pics from the Chicago student nurse massacre where Richard Speck kidnapped nine nurses and murdered eight. One girl survived because she hid under the bed and he lost...

Betty ate the children! April Fools! No seriously, was this Matthew Weiner's idea of an April Fool's joke? If so, it was pretty good. It has gotta be said, the wildest thing this show does is the way they throw around fat makeup. It's hilarious that this is how MW...

When we left off in October 1965, all our characters were on the brink of life changing events: Don impulsively proposed to his secretary, Pete just had a baby, Joan is pregnant with Roger's baby and pretending it's Greg's, and Betty was moving into her "not perfect" new house with...

Last night took an unexpected turn at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ. The Knocks and Cornell duo Kinetics & OneLove put on an awesome show for the tech kids. When rapper Jeremy "Kinetics" Dussolliet called out to the audience to ask if there were any free-stylers...

Follow me tonight as I take you inside the 20th Anniversary Gotham Independent Film Awards at Cipriani Wallstreet in Lower Manhattan. I'll be providing a running commentary throughout the show and join me in the chatroom to share your views while watching yourself live! Kicking off the film...

First of all, OMFG!! I just have to say, that was insane, and incredible. Some people are bound to hate and say it was completely ridiculous, which it was, but I loved every second. Here we are thinking we're so smart, we've got it all figured out with the whole...

Forced to move home after a breakup, 28-year-old Justin Halpern found himself back in the throes of his 73-year-old father Sam Halpern's brutally honest witticisms. Justin started writing down all the crazy shit his dad said, thought his friends might want to see, and created a twitter account, "shitmydadsays." Virtually...

It's the penultimate episode of the season, SCDP is desperate, and Don is making moves. We've come a long way since the beginning of the season, where Don struggled with his own identity, and now SCDP is struggling with theirs. The title "Blowing Smoke" aptly applies, as the characters all...

Mad Men starts to wrap up in the third to last episode with this week's "Chinese Wall." Drowning in the loss of Lucky Strike, the partners at SCDP scramble to try and build a lifeboat. They're trying to save their agency, while their personal lives all move forward, and into...

This week's Mad Men episode "Hand and Knees" got crazy. It was both terrific and traumatic, a rollercoaster of emotions, as all the recent positive motion forward was spun backwards and upside down. As the title suggests, both SCDP and their characters are left down on their "hand (significantly...

After the long summer break, the officially named Outstanding Comedy Series, Modern Family, returned last night--and I'm so happy to have it back! (Congratulations to the whole show and to Eric Stonestreet for his win for Best Supporting Actor--you deserved it!) Just to hear Gloria's accent, Phil's dorky voice, and...
