• Mad Men: The Night of the Lawn Mower

    Many things happened last night on Mad Men, but the one that everyone will remember was when poor, poor Englishman Guy got his foot run over by a John Deere tractor. In fact, it was a bloody good show.

    That accident was unexpected (and a little unimaginable, like Rosalind Shays falling down an elevator shaft on L.A. Law) and had far-reaching consequences for all the internal shifts that continue to plague Sterling Cooper since it fell into the hands of its English overlords. Though it looked dire at first, last night's British invasion may still have some positive effects, even though it's already caused one amputation.

    Blood wasn't the only motif winding it's way through the episode, which focused on office politics, Joan's departure, and future hippie Sally's crazy fear of her youngest brother. Here are the other tendons that were connecting the tissue of this visceral hour.
