DROWNING IN PATHOS

Drowning In Bathos: Don Draper

Get Ready For The Delicious Madness: Mad Men Returns Sunday, Aug. 16th

By Miz JMiz J

GET THOSE SCOTCH GLASSES READY -- IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR SEASON 3 OF MAD MEN!

After wallowing in a despondent, cherry vodka-induced haze, waiting for Mad Men to return, I'm back and ready to dish on Draper. But first, before the magic happens, I'm gonna pull a VH1 on you and do a recap.

When we last left the brood at Sterling Cooper, the world was about to end. Literally.

People were confessing shit all over the place, and I was just trying to keep up. Unfortunately the whole thing just left me with more questions.

I was DYING to know when Peggy was planning to tell Pete about their baby, and I'm still DYING to know what the whole deal is. I mean, is Peggy's sister raising this baby, or did she really give it up for adoption? My money's on the bitchy sister, since that would give her a REASON to be all bitchy.

And speaking of buns in the oven, how about the newest addition to the Draper family? The whole marriage deflates and then whoosh! Enter Fix-A-Flat baby. You just KNOW they'll reconcile "for the sake of the children." It's just what you DID back then, which explains that one fucked-up family member we all have. Hey, you were thinking it. I *SAID* it.

I'm also curious about the situation with Joan. She's got this date rapey husband, her long-standing affair with Roger Sterling's in the crapper, and because of Roger's new fiancée, Joan is facing some stiff competition at work. I wonder how that redheaded snake will retaliate.

Of course, there's still the matter of the merger at Sterling Cooper. I wonder what the guy from The Nanny will do if Duck fucks it up. Maybe he'll fire that douchebag Kinsey. I can dream, can't I?

We'll have to wait and see what happens, but judging by the teaser trailer, it looks like there will be even more sex this season than in previous ones. I'm telling you right now that if Season 4 is all secret pregnancies, then I'm blaming the shit out of Season 3 and going on strike. What do you mean "that doesn't make sense?" Well, then I guess I need a refill. Excuse me.
