Mad Men Episode Recap: "The Jet Set"

Throughout this season, Don Draper has told a number of characters to "move forward," forgetting the past and making the most of the future. But in this episode, old habits died hard for both Don and his Sterling Cooper rival Duck Phillips. Similarly, Roger Sterling was up to his old tricks (though to be fair, he never really gave them up) and Peggy again found herself falling for the wrong man. All the while, Don is miles away from the action, both at the office and his business trip, indulging in what can only be described as Mad Men's most surreal plot to date. And luckily, he left his "baggage" behind.

Just a question about last week's episode.."The Inheritance".

Did anyone think that Betty may get pregnant after her romp with Don at her Dad's house?

Cheers: Mad About Peggy's New 'Do | Cheers & Jeers | 10/12/2008 New
Cheers to Mad Men for finally letting Elisabeth Moss get rid of those horrible bangs. Due to her unsightly '50s-style 'do, Moss' junior copywriter Peggy Olson has been having bad hair years ever since she started at Sterling Cooper. She briefly restyled her coif when she tried to be one of the guys at a strip club earlier this season, but it took an ill-fated date to a Bob Dylan gig with gay coworker Kurt (Edin Gali) to provide Peggy with the extreme makeover she so desperately needed. Even oily ex-lover Pete (Vincent Kartheiser) noticed there was something different about her. Now let's hope Peggy really lets her hair down. • Discuss and vote on this Cheer after the jump. • Share your own raves and rants about Mad Men and other TV shows in the Comments section. • We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine! read more 6 Comments
Mark Moses Previews Duck's Mad Men Future | Today's News: Our Take | 10/10/2008
As Desperate Housewives' Paul Young, Mark Moses played Wisteria Lane's man of many secrets. On Mad Men, Moses' Duck Phillips has his own spotty past and the same conniving ambition to get what he wants at all costs. In the Oct. 12 episode, says Moses, Duck will take his ambition to the next level, making a major power play. He chatted with us about Duck's teetotaler status, why he and Don Draper just can't get along and why he had to let his poor dog go wandering down Madison Avenue ... read more be the first to leave a comment
Mad Men Episode Recap: "The Inheritance" | TV Show Recaps | 10/6/2008
There was no passing down of money in this episode, but the two most child-like characters in the ensemble did gain some wisdom and maybe even a little maturity. Don Draper took a backseat to the self-discoveries of his wife Betty and colleague Pete Campbell, as each took strides to becoming their own person, even more defiantly than they have in the past. But while the realizations may be crystal-clear, the reality is as murky as always, as represented by actual children such as Pete's illegitimate baby with Peggy and neighborhood hair collector Glen Bishop. read more 2 Comments
Ask Matt: Applauding Office's Pam-Jim Coupling, Settling the Grey's Debate and More! | Matt Roush | 10/3/2008
Question: I wanted to write to applaud the writers of The Office for taking the road less traveled. They have managed, it seems, to do something that most other shows have been too afraid to try: keeping their main romantic couple together and have their relationship be both happy and entertaining. Years upon years of TV watching have kept me waiting for the other shoe to drop for Jim and Pam, but The Office has handled their coupling with perfect care. What are your thoughts on Jim and Pam? And do you think that more shows will be willing to take this risk in the future? — Allyson Matt Roush: Cue those who may think they're boring now that they're together, but I agree with you. I loved the proposal scene, especially in contrast to how miserable Angela is making Andy after his own ill-timed (and surely ill-fated) popping of the question. read more be the first to leave a comment
