Madmen is still going strong. The best episode this year was the Don/Peggy episode. But the stand out star this year is clearly Sally Draper. Sally is walking that fine preteen line between sweet and batshit. You cannot blame the girl, her dad is an absent drunk and her mom is well, Betty Draper. The worlds worst mother. I really like the development of Sally and the development of Kiernan Shipka who portrays her. (Lets just hope Kiernan is not going to be the next Lindsay but judging by the Burberry spread she was in this summer, she may have a future in diva) Sally embodies two of my favorite adjectives, complicated and sassy, and like Sally there have been many times where I have fallen face first in front of an office of really cool people (like the time I was standing still at the copy machine and fell face-first into it for no reason, breaking the entire machine) ... at least Sally was running with a purpose.
I also just recently found out that Joyce, Peggy's lovely lesbian photo editor friend from Time Magazine is played by Zosia Mamet, real life daughter of David Mamet.
