If you're anything like me, right about now you're re-arranging the living room furniture, polishing the television set, preparing a variety of delicious chips & dips, and counting down the minutes until this Sunday night's premiere of the third glorious season of AMC's Mad Men. [fans self with hand dramatically]
Do you think Don Draper would prefer a three cheese or creamy spinach dip? Hmm?
Yesss mah presshussss, I -- your resident Mad Men recapper -- am chomping at the proverbial bit so hard that I feel I must, for the good of all humankind and the sanity of my loved ones, who are SICK OF TALKING ABOUT THAT STUPID SHOW ALREADY JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY, provide a space for my fellow Mad Men lovers to gush openly without fear of being shamed, judged, or ridiculed. SO.
What are you most looking forward to this season? What theories do you have about what will happen this season? What do you HOPE happens or doesn't happen? Which are your favorite characters? Who would you most like to have a drink with? What characters can't you stand? Who would you most like to punch in the neck? Why are you so obsessed with this show, anyway? Does it make you want to start smoking (again)? Is Jon Hamm my sekrit boyfriend? (The answer to that last one, just so you know, is YES.) Huh huh huh? OMG OMG OMG!1!!!
Please to commence with the shameless fangirl/fanboy squeeing in comments. We're all friends here, this is a safe space.
Hold me?
ETA: OPEN THREAD MAY CONTAIN SHOW GOSSIP, SPOILERS, AND SPECULATION ABOUT HOW GOOD OF A KISSER JON HAMM MAY OR MAY NOT BE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

I'm just gonna put it out there. Last week's episode of Project Runway SUCKED. Not only did the concept of "Olympic Opening Ceremony Outfits" completely elude everyone but the straight guy, all the designers decided to have hissy fits about the challenge. Very not fierce, guys!
Exclusive video links of this week's episode after the jump, and of course, be sure to join us on the Open Thread tonight at MamaPopTalk!
It's Wednesday, and you know what that means, betches! Join us over at MamaPopTalk tonight at 9 PM Eastern Time for the Project Runway open thread! What adventures will our designers go on this week? We've already covered the grocery store, so will materials be coming from Toys R Us? Crate and Barrel? Home Depot? I hear plywood is the new black.
Bring your snark and beverages, and join us, won't you?
UPDATED!!! Click here to see an exclusive preview of the always fierce Natalie Portman, our special guest for this episode!
O HAI! R U IN OR OUT?
You might not have heard, due to the heeee-yuge dramz between Bravo and Lifetime about Project Runway moving over to "Television for Women, and now Gay Men" next season, but the fifth season of PR begins tonight on Bravo at 9 pm. That's 9:00 PM EST, betches. Yes, they changed the time. No, it makes no sense. Oh, Bravo. So passive aggressive. I thought you were better than that.
Now, I am a relentless spoiler whore, but I gotta tell you, Bravo's hush-hush la-la we-can't hear-you non-promotion of this season is A-ok with me. I love PR so much, and actually want to be surprised when we "see what happens." (Last season on Bravo, people. The catchphrases will die soon.) I can guess wildly that there will be no lack of crying and cutting, taking bitches' dye, trying to not bore Nina, Michael Kors calling something "farty", and of course, Our Lord and Master, Tim Gunn. Tim's back, guys! I feel safer and more stylish already.
So of COURSE, over at MamaPopTalk we will have an open thread tonight. That's TONIGHT AT 9:00 PM EST, no matter how much Bravo wants us to forget. Oh, Bravo. We will never forget. So join us, won't you? Bring your snark, your fashion prowess, and plenty of beverages. Amalah and I will be there to open the thread at 9:00 PM EST, and we'd love to see your fierceness there with us! Carry on!
PS: If you cannot fight the siren song of spoilers, Tom and Lorenzo have a sneak peek at their fantastic site, Project Rungay. You should be visiting them daily (gay-ly?) anyway, kittens.
