Mad Men Wallpaper: Joan and the 914
August 3rd, 2008
Mad Men is a show on television that I enjoy watching and a second season of programs has just begun. Tonight, I understand, there is to be another new episode, but since I watch them on the “iTunes” I won’t see it until tomorrow at the earliest.
I though the premier was a bit “soft”—baffling to new viewers lured by the unrelenting hype of the last few months and not much to offer old hands other than showing every single character (including “Dean*” the Accounts Manager who hasn’t had a line since Pete went on his honeymoon) doing… things to remind who’s on the show.
Maybe that was the secret clue? Whoever wasn’t seen doing something mundane in the first episode probably committed suicide between November 1960 and February 1962. Hmmm… Hildy the secretary wasn’t shown combing her hair or eating a sandwich or installing a dimmer switch or really, appeared in the episode at all. Hildy has committed suicide. That’s the big reveal for this season. Done! Solved!
I love you, Mad Men. You’re ridiculous.
Have some wallpaper for your computer of Joan. Click the image above.
- I mean “Dale,” and this isn’t the first time I’ve had a Dale-Dean confusion. I mistakenly referred to Mister Glasses’ poolside waiter as Dean earlier this week.

I liked it! But then again I’ve only seen a few episodes, and one of those episodes was primarily about hobos.

This is fabulous. I am so linking to it. Watch your numbers.

Oh, PS. Dean is Dayle. I’m glad he’s back; I like him. And I think he’s Account, but my sister thinks he’s Copy. And I think I’m right.
And nice guesswork on the Hildy/suicide thing.
