Mad Men Power Rankings

Hat tip to Lee Fuoco for introducing us to Movie Line’s “Mad Men” Power Rankings. (Caution: If you haven’t been keeping up with Season Three, you’ll probably want to hold off.)

Speaking of “Mad Men,” a frank conversation about it last night revealed that one of us (guess) is seven episodes ahead of the other in Season Two. Picture this discussion over a post-voting dinner at Skyline:

ERIN: So what episode are we on again?

BEN: If by “we” you mean “me,” we’re on episode six.

ERIN: Huh.

BEN: I guess the real question is where “you” are.

ERIN: Well, just a little ahead of that.

BEN: By “little” do you mean, say, the last disc?

ERIN [turning red]: Well…

BEN: I thought so.

ERIN: It’s just that you’re so slow.

BEN: You didn’t finish the season already, did you?

ERIN: No!

BEN: OK.

[We continue eating in silence for several minutes.]

ERIN: I finished the season.

BEN: Yes, I figured.

ERIN: Honey, I can’t help it!

BEN: Don Draper is going to tear this marriage apart.

Curse you, Don!
