Okay, I’ll admit it right here, right now. I didn’t initially get hooked on Mad Men because it’s good (which it is). Or because it’s a pitch-perfect evocation of bygone, smoke-filled era in which men were men and top shelf was the elixir of life (again, which it is). No, I first tuned in because I heard that Christina Hendricks was on it. Whom I’ve been slightly smitten with (actually, slightly is a slight understatement) since I first spied her as Saffron on, yes, Firefly.
If I’ve gotta be thrown into certain danger and almost killed by a deviously delicious fictional ex-wife, she’s at the top of my list.

I’ll be in my bunk.
That’s our sweet ‘Peter Pan’ collar wearing Peggy Olsen?
When are we going to get a clip with that sweet, little, ass-kicking former ballerina? Every Friday I hold my breath as the Popwatch page loads. Today, after I regained consciousness, I was disappointed yet again. This reminds me of when my parents promised to come to my senior dance recital. FYI – they never showed.
jcarla–no, it’s our not-so-sweet Joan Holloway.
jcarla… Peggy? It’s Joan.
Holy crap.
Sorry, I guess I was going by the voice and I keep thinkg Joan as a very redhead.
I love Mal’s expressions during this scene, especially the moment when he bites his fingernail. Nathan Fillion at his best without even much to say.
