laurificus at 09:28pm on 21/11/2011 under tv-mad menMad Men! A show in which nothing happens! (Excepting that time that British dude had his foot run over by a tractor.) Nothing happens, and many, many of the people in it are awful. And yet...it is impossibly addictive. I had the highly exciting event of not having to go anywhere at all this weekend, and I took advantage of this to mainline about 16 episodes, and promptly ordered season 4 as soon as season 3 was done. I must see more of this nothing happening business!
There are many burning questions. such as: will Joan (who is my very favouritest!) do as I hope and kill her horrorshow of a husband? Will Roger continue to be a charmingly funny douche? Will Don continue to be a strangely compelling tool? Will my intense dislike of Betty continue to intensify? (really, I think I'm driven to keep watching by the twin impulses of seeing how much more awesome Joan can get, and how much more unbearable Betty will become. I want to be sympathetic to her. I do! But it's like she comes with some anti-sympathetic forcefield. And also, you know it's bad when I'm judging her for her lack of maternal feelings.)
While I wait for season 4 to arrive, I will also consider the important issue of who I would like to hook Joan up with. Peggy is currently winning, though last night I did consider the possibility of Joan/Trudy. I have rejected all of the men for her, on account of how none of them are good enough for her. Though I do like it when she and Don are friends. She makes him laugh, you know. It is a mark of her special Joan awesomeness that she can pull that off.
