Loved it, loved it, loved it. From writing to direction, “Far Away Places” was my favorite episode of the season so far. The hybrid recap/review is about to begin, so if you haven’t seen it yet and want to avoid the spoilers, please turn away from the door now.

One of the main reasons that I enjoy Mad Men is the design. Some people complain that the characters aren’t necessarily loveable, and while I don’t always like them, I sure do like their clothes and their furniture. Plus, the show appears to be shot in 35mm and that makes all the difference to me, as it allows for terrific panoramas of people and color.

Jessica Pare’s performance of “Zou Bisou Bisou” on the latest Mad Men premiere was based on the 1961 version performed by Gillian Hills. My favorite part of the video occurs at the 1:12 mark, when the two women in beach chairs start moving their shoulders up and down in unison.
