Mad Men

Mad Men Roundtable Season 3, “My Old Kentucky Home”

Finally, stupid Greg forces Joan to play the accordion in front of everybody.  Joan wants to be a perfect hostess, and not a performing monkey.  She puts on a brave face, but by the end of her song, you can see that she is never going to love Greg again, if she ever did in the first place.  I find it interesting that she was so uncomfortable – I think Joan wants people to look at her, not to watch her.  If that makes sense.  All I know is that every one of her scenes makes me so sad this season.  (By the way, there were really a lot of musical numbers in this episode.  Very strange.)
