The "Media Guy" is essential to ad agencies beginning in the late 60's (and of course, indispensable today), so for me, I'd have liked to see more of his character as opposed to Don's former family.

Trying to figure Elizabeth Reaser's casting there.

Was it just her passing resemblance to Maggie Siff?
Is she starting a more substantial arc?
Has her star power fallen far enough that she's a one-off guest star type now?

Jesus. What a money grubbing twat. How the hell did Don ruin her life? He set her ass up and gave her free reign to pursue her career.

Everyone is proving to be shallow and phony. Maybe Winer's intention is to make the audience revile everyone but Don by the time the series is over.

On a side note, a friend shared some pics of Hamm the night before he entered rehab and good grief, what a disaster. That coupled with the revelation that he severely beat a kid during a hazing incident is really hurting his public persona.

I can imagine that playing Don Draper would drive one to drink.

I've actually thought to myself "i don't drink that much. I mean. At least not like those guys on Mad Men."

I could maybe see that in the begonia but seven years later? Personally, I think it's because Mad Men is coming to an end and every thing else Hamm has done has been met with disinterest.
