Let's overanalyze this teaser for Mad Men's seventh season
Mad Men returns April 13 to commence the first half of its drawn-out final season, and here’s the first, appropriately drawn-out teaser to announce that. In it we see Don Draper verrrrry slowwwwwly exiting a TWA plane and putting on a hat.
While to a layperson this may seem to be the extent of what’s taking place here, to the Mad Men fan who has by now been trained to recognize that, for example, a T-shirt is never a T-shirt—it is a sign that you are married to a ghost—everything they need to know is contained within these 15 seconds.
THE FACTS:
– By 1969, TWA was the largest transatlantic airline.
– Don is wearing a dark, somber suit, of the sort typically worn to a funeral.
– Several clouds can be seen in the sky.
