For Those Who Think Young: Mad Men Season 2 Goodness

madmen-season2.jpg

Can I just say, thank the maker for Mad Men Season 2 starting last night? I was like resorting to watching things like Greatest American Dog and the Brit-Hills, "Living on the Edge". As a side note, do they really need to subtitle it? That's kind of all sorts of ridiculousness. The fact that they translated the awkwardness of Lauren Conrad so perfectly is rad. Lets just say that this premiere coupled with the news that Sam Rami is going to do Evil Dead 4 plus season 4's trailer for The Hills kind of ruled.

Anyway, the season premiere, "For Those Who Think Young", didn't disappoint as the rush is on to think and create younger. I just wish Don Draper didn't make creative look so damned easy. (Watch the episode trailer here.) I only mention it really, to include a quote from Slate's Troy Patterson who writes, "Roasting this chestnut of theme, the show insists upon a seriousness that it sometimes even earns. It can resemble a tragic (or at least melodramatic) version of The Office from some angles, just as Hamm can—when facing the camera straight on and making a hyperbolically flat expression—look oddly similar to Steve Carell."
