MEAN and MASSIVE

Mad Men‘s fifth season came to an end last night.

SEB: mad men s05e10 episode review Christmas falls again on Madison Avenue, and the guys and chicks on Mad Men got a Japanese-style dish: some cold, some warm, some sweet and some too bitter to swallow.

SEB: Mad Men s05e11 episode trailer, preview The plot summaries for Mad Men episodes are almost as anigmetic as the episode promo clips.

SEB: mad men s05e08 episode review The power of Mad Men is the ability to go into dark places but stay amusing. Lady Lazarus, as dark and disturbing this episode was, was also one of the funniest this season yet. It says something about advertisement, I guess. Even when life looks like baked beans, it [...]

SEB: mad men s05e09 trailer, episode preview Mad Menepisode promos are not telling much usually. They’re more about the mystery, the rythme, and especially what about the characters don’t say.

SEB: mad men s05e08 episode promo What does Magen really want? Ist it a quieter life with Don, or a new carrer path for herself?

AMC is really pissing me off. Breaking Bad season 4 premiere did very well but the cable channel wants to make serious cuts for the planned fifth season. Sounds familiar?
