On the next episode of AMC’s Mad Men…
- Matthew Weiner torments us with a teaser trailer that tells us absolutely nothing about the next episode.
- We curse Matthew Weiner for the random collection of clips he calls a teaser trailer.
- We curse AMC for giving Matthew Weiner free reign to torture us with those teaser trailers.
- We further curse AMC for splitting the final season of Mad Men in two parts.
- Darn you, AMC.
- Of course, splitting the season in two parts does let us have a longer period of time to look forward to Mad Men,
