I didn’t realize what I was stepping into by breaking up Cory and Topanga. I hadn’t really watched that show. I was just so excited to have a job on television and I really didn’t realize how vehemently people would react to my breaking them up. People are still mad about it! Now that [Girl Meets World is happening] people are really happy for them. I think people have fears that Lauren will come back and haunt them, which would be terrible for their relationship and their poor child!

Linda Cardellini, semi-professional homewrecker, on her new Mad Men role and her own checkered past (on TV, anyway).

It should be magical. There should be music playing and romantic lighting and a subtle buildup to the popping of the big question. There should be a thousand yellow daisies and candles and a horse and I don’t know what the horse is doing there unless you’re riding it, which seems a little over the top, but it should be more than this.

Crossing our fingers that Vincent Kartheiser followed Lorelai Gilmore’s sage advice while proposing to her daughter.

Let’s hope their real-life relationship doesn’t resemble their Mad Men relationship.

Oh God, the ’70s are about to ruin Mad Men. Why? Why??

Even better: It’s a two-hour premiere! Check the link for more scoop.

Another holiday down — just one to go! Here’s Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant’s guide to making the perfect New Year’s Eve outfit, a recreation of Megan’s sexy “Zou Bisou Bisou” look.

What do you do when your show is on hiatus?

You grow a beard. And take it from these stars — there is a definite art to the hiatus beard.

(Also, is that Adam Scott beard real?!)

The Interactive Emmy Watch Wheel!

Zooey Deschanel chats about S&M, Tina Fey discusses Liz Lemon’s maternal future, Alison Brie talks the Dreamatorium, Aaron Paul gives the scoop on Breaking Bad, and so much more. But actually so much more. Like, we couldn’t fit it all on one wheel, so we had to make two. Because that’s how many interviews we had.

It feels like almost a foregone conclusion that Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner would submit “Far Away Places” for writing consideration. For one, it’s likely the most structurally daring hour of television we’ll see this year, a triptych of stories that take place over the course of a single day, interweaving and folding back on themselves with elegance and an almost outrageous narrative confidence. And at the center of it all is Roger Sterling’s first acid trip, a calmly psychotropic journey that results in a moment of clarity for both Roger and his young wife, Jane, where they carry each other to the realization that their marriage is over. For a show where people rarely say what they mean, even if they mean what they say, it was a surprising and touching moment of openness and mutual respect.

Here Matthew Weiner discusses why this is the scene he’s proudest of, as well as a whole lot of other elements of Mad Men‘s stellar season.

Professor Matthew Weiner’s final exam.

Q: Why was Don Draper unhappy? A: Before we answer that, let’s state what we can now see were the season’s two grand, over-arching themes: That success does not bring anything like happiness, and that everyone — viewers and other characters alike — wants to see Pete Campbell punched in the face again and again and again.

Here is a refresher-course in the themes that had been explored throughout Mad Men.
