One of Matt Weiner’s favorite shots in all of “Mad Men” arrives in the second episode of the second season: Peggy Olson, prim secretary turned crack copywriter, lies on the bed of her cramped Brooklyn, N.Y., apartment the morning after a late-night bash. She is still wearing her smart, modest red party dress, now billowing out across the rumpled sheets. “It’s just luscious,” Weiner says of the shot, and he’s right: The camera peers down at her from high above — her right arm splayed to the side, knees collapsed to the left, her room an artful tangle of clothes tossed across furniture and abandoned in heaps on the floor. Lasting all of 15 seconds, it’s a scene even a careful viewer might miss, but for anyone fascinated by the ever-evolving Peggy, one of the show’s most compelling characters, it contains a clue: The tightly coiled good girl and relentless worker bee turns out to be a bit of a slob.
Awesome commentary. When does this show come back?
