Elizabeth and Jon are spectacular

Jon Hamm is too cool. :D

John Hamm is so charming. I didn't know him before Mad Men. He's the main reason I tuned in. Very attractive, despite how despicable Don Draper is. Elizabeth is so cute and much more attractive out of character than in character. PS: does Vincent poke her in the bum near the end of the clip?? 3:36

@mettabee me too (if 'girl crush' still means you want to BE that person). Her character is so good at fitting into a man's world and hiding her emotions. Elisabeth doesn't overact - even when Peggy banged her head on a desk in frustration!

@Recycleplease27 That's how I feel with all of the characters. I think most of it has to do with the director and all those people behind the camera.

It's weird seeing all of these people out of character. I don't know why exactly, maybe because they seem so real and 3 dimensional, you really get lost in them. Anyway, I don't feel that way for most things but with there people (excluding January Jones because she's awful) it freaks me out to see them being their normal selves.

[mettabee]

i have the biggest girl crush on elisabeth

[Recycleplease27]

whenever i watch Elisabeth as Peggy, i can definitely sense that she's very attached to her character. i don't know, you can just tell. she makes her really human even in subtle ways and makes me think, am i really watching an actor? is Elisabeth really like that? Just from that I can tell she's done her job.

I feel the gum chewing is not cool. It just does not look correct but it is not that big a deal. I love this show!
