Prediction: the next episode of Mad Men, "Love Among The Ruins," will be action-packed. That's the only conclusion we can come to from the aggressively boring sneak-peek scene AMC put out to publicize it:
That's the only scene they could show! I'm so excited! Is it November 22nd yet?
Wait, it's not coming back until NOVEMBER??

No, but something newsworthy happened on that day in 1963.

Oooh, that wife is a jellyfisher! Wasn't she also actually a jellyfisher in Bridget Jones's Diary? Typecasting!

They've started back up six months after the end of season 2, which was the Cuban Missile Crisis in October of 62, so that means they're in April "right now," and have a whole summer and most of fall to get through before JFK, but it WILL HAPPEN this season, Matt Weiner has said so, if I remember right.
Personally though, I can't wait for '64, with LBJ's "Daisy" campaign ad. And, you know, Civil Rights and everything. Good times!

Man, I'm constantly arguing with people who say Mad Men is boring (The Wire is boring, Mad Men is sexy and awesome) but this promo just made me look like an asshole.

Also, so much for their vaunted meticulous research: "the Bordeaux grape," ha ha. (Unless he's supposed to be a moron.)
