Mad Men S03E01

Wow, guess they have learned from season 2, as this season’s episode 1 does so much more than last season’s.  It was great to see the moments in the hotel with Don, stewardess, Sal, and the hotel staff.  But it was the setup between Pete Campbell and Ken Cosgrove that really makes me excited to see what this season holds for Sterling & Cooper.  They’ve always hinted at Ken being talented and part of the whole crew, but never really showed it in the previous seasons.  Now he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves.  Besides those 4, the rest of the cast was a bit underused (still peppered in scenes here and there), but with such strong scenes, who cares?  Bring it on Mad Men (you definitely didn’t hear me saying that at the beginning of last season)!

Oh, and they gave us these nice fedoras by Stetson at the screening event:
