Anyone still watching this? Or did everyone who was flee to Tumblr? (Honestly don't understand the appeal of Tumblr - it's just throwing images around. I guess if you aren't a writer and don't like reading, and just want to look at pictures - it makes sense. Although as a former copyright specialist whose job it was to obtain rights to content and images, tumblr amuses me. Because apparently the moment you post to tumblr - you grant them the rights to redistribute your images at will. In short, copyright falls out the proverbial window. I found that out when I read the rules. Because of Tumblr, Facebook and Pinterest - copyright of images has been weakened.)
Anyhow...the plot isn't quite working for me. Lots of logical inconsistencies. Up until this arc, the plot tracked, now...hmmm...it's like they have an author re-writing the characters and script and rules of the verse. They may lost a lot of viewers doing this.
I'm still watching to see if they can write themselves out of this. But I'm not so sure.

2. MAD MEN is plodding along. No where near as interesting as last season. I'm waiting to see if it picks up steam. Right now, we're just spending a lot of time on Don Draper's sexual escapades, along with Roger's. The best parts of the show were really the business dealings, and the hollow world of advertising. The soap opera or sexual escapades of the characters - I found to be sort of boring, and I like soap operas.
