In Case You Hadn't Heard, Mad Men Is Back.

And I don't think I care.

Especially not after this:


I know all of the cool, intellectual types will be quick to remind me that shows like "Mad Men" are all about the slow build. After a 17 month hiatus, I get that we need some time to see where the characters have landed and what, exactly, this season will be all about.

SPOILER ALERT: THE SECRET WORD IS, INSECURITIES.

Love me! Need me! Worship me!

Megan is worried she only got promoted because she's married to Don. (Duh)
Pete thinks none of the partners respect him. (They don't)
Don, a shadow of his once confident self, is freaked his real/fake worlds are all crumbling. (They are)
Joan, not feeling particularly maternal, rushes back to work in fear they've replaced her. (Never)
Roger knows his position as partner is shaky with the loss of his one & only account. (It is)

The most insecure one of the bunch, Bitchy Betty, didn't even make an appearance. Maybe she'll pull an about face and go from my least to most favorite character this season.


Will I keep watching? Yes. But with "Game of Thrones", "The Killing", & "Shameless" all vying for my attention on Sunday nights. These whiney drolls better up their game.
