Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner may not like to tell us too much about his show, but he did sit down for a talk called "Matthew Weiner and the Wives of Don Draper" in NYC this week. Still, he wasn't happy about some of the questions that were launched his way. Like when an audience member asked if this season is about women rising above the men who appear to be floundering more than ever. Weiner's response: "Are you asking, like, because you think things look bad for the men right now, if the men are gonna end up doing great and the women are just gonna be ... This is why the show has to end, because people start to perceive the machinery of it."

Um, what?? The show has to end, because we're too interested in it hypothesizing about the storylines and themes? Because we're thinking about it too much? Ha, ooookay, Weiner!

Thankfully, he was a bit more generous when discussing specific plot lines ... 

Whoa, Nelly! Or should I say, Whoa, Peggy? There were big moves being made on tonight's Mad Men, and Peggy Olson couldn't escape the waves crashing into her as the tide rolled in. 

We've seen bits and pieces of Peggy this season, but her storyline hasn't really taken off. That is until tonight's "For Immediate Release" episode, which had her penning the press release that gave the episode its title.

Needless to say, there are SPOILERS ahead!

Don Draper, I mean, Jon Hamm was on The Daily Show this week looking yummy as usual, and he dished with Jon Stewart about Mad Men season 6. Granted, Matt Weiner has probably made him sign copious volumes of contracts swearing that he will never in a million years utter a word about plot lines we can expect, which means he didn't really get into too much in the way of a teaser or a spoiler. (BOOOO!) But! He did discuss Don's mistress, Sylvia Rosen. Or rather, the actress who portrays her, Linda Cardellini, formerly of Freaks and Geeks.  

He spilled that the actress had actually just had her baby when she first started the gig -- and proceeded to look like a total Wonder Woman. Which lead Jon Hamm to be "amazed" with her. Ooooh!

Well, Matt Weiner did exactly what he said he couldn't wait to do -- "get to the destruction. Let's get to the loss." We got to one of the first devastating losses of 1968 in this week's episode "The Flood." After Megan and Don -- all dressed up and off to the CLIO Awards for advertising -- meet up with Sylvia and Arnold -- who are headed to D.C. for a speaking gig -- in their building's lobby, they head their separate ways. But little do either couple know what's really about to happen that night: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot.

Completely unnerving, disturbing, shocking news everyone learns in the middle of the CLIOs, and which goes on to shape the shocked tone of the rest of the episode. But it also seemed to trigger everyone's most fatherly instincts ...

Now, there's absolutely no denying it -- we've entered the swinging-est part of the '60s. Literally. Just when you thought Don's affair with Sylvia had the potential to morph into a Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice situation involving Megan and Dr. Rosen, the Drapers got propositioned ... by another couple in tonight's episode, "To Have and to Hold." After notifying Megan that her storyline is being developed further -- her maid character is going to have an affair with her married boss -- the head writer, Mel, and his wife and the Susan Lucci of the series, Arlene, invite Megan and Don out to dinner. Where they suggest going back to their place to "smoke some grass and ... become friends." HA! Aaaawwkward.

Well, it didn't have to be. The Drapers could have explored a new frontier. But is that really either Megan or especially Don's style?

One of the most appealing aspects of Mad Men, at least for me, is that for an hour a week, we get to step back in time. To a time that was eeriely similar in many ways (political unrest, violence playing out on TVs across the nation, etc.) and very different in others. One of the best ways in which its different is that as frequently as Don Draper and the SDCP gang may be smoking cigarettes and pouring scotch, so many of our modern obsessions are missing. No smartphones, laptops, FACEBOOK in sight! What a nice breather!

But what if the Drapers and everyone in their world did have Facebook? What might that look like? HappyPlace.com has taken it upon themselves to imagine that -- by doing recaps of the first three episodes of season 6 via a newsfeed filled with status updates, shared photos, "likes," and check-ins. And it made my day. If you're any sort of faithful MM fan, it will make yours, too. Here, some of the highlights from the Mad Men Facebook recaps ...

Mad Men season 6 is in full swing, but that doesn't mean the cast members can't have a little fun. Jessica Paré, who stars as Megan Draper next to Jon Hamm's Don Draper, blew off some steam at Coachella this weekend. While most celebrities use the impossibly cool music festival to show off their best homeless chic apparel, Jess looked cool as a cucumber in jeans, a black leather jacket, and a lovely, lovely bare face. Thing is, though, without the caption, a makeup-free Jessica Paré is hardly recognizable.

For any of you Mad Men fans out there who have found recent episodes dragging and a bit of a yawn-fest, whoa, was tonight a treat. In the episode entitled "The Collaborators," Matthew Weiner finally gave us an hour filled with explosive eye-openers.

Take Pete Campbell, for instance. The smug bastard has been having various hook-ups in the city apartment Trudy gave him permission to get. Of course. Yet, he still seems to have a thing for his Connecticut neighbors' wives -- maybe his way of coping with the loss of Beth? -- and has them take the train in for an affair on his terms. The flavor of the week gets into a fight with her husband, she must have mentioned Pete, and he beats her bloody and sends her over to the Campbells. BUSTED!!! Oh, how satisfying it was to watch Trudy's reaction ...
