RE: yeah, i'm afraid that was the point
Apr 06th 2015
26
Yup I'm turning into Ken...minus the rich wife
Apr 06th 2015
10
He really would look cool on a book jacket
Apr 13th 2015
76
Not much happened, and I'm totally OK with that
Apr 05th 2015
4
sooo, about the first scene
Apr 06th 2015
6
The mustaches upstaged everything.
Apr 06th 2015
7
Ha ha agreed.
Apr 06th 2015
8
Roger's was so ridiculous
Apr 06th 2015
15
Roger's is ugly
Apr 13th 2015
67
That waitress WAS a former lover, right?
Apr 06th 2015
9
Yeah she looks familiar...must be from old eps
Apr 06th 2015
11
i only know her from other shows.
Apr 06th 2015
12
she was rust's girlfriend on true detective
Apr 06th 2015
16
Nah, that was the first time she appeared on the show
Apr 06th 2015
18
      I'm mixing her up with the artist from S1.

Apr 06th 2015
13
1970
Apr 06th 2015
14
      Thanks for the info.
Apr 06th 2015
19
Peggy and Joan in that elevator
Apr 06th 2015
17
Joan would look seductive wrapped up in a rug.
Apr 06th 2015
20
peggy made me facepalm hard as hell
Apr 06th 2015
22
Yeah...
Apr 06th 2015
41
their jealousy of each other keeps them at odds
Apr 06th 2015
23
it's bad writing & been erking the shit out of me for 3 seasons
Apr 06th 2015
25
they _should_ have some solidarity.
Apr 06th 2015
31
      i hear you
Apr 06th 2015
34
           naw.
Apr 06th 2015
35
                yea, they are both fundamentally annoyed by what the other has
Apr 06th 2015
40
thats how it works
Apr 06th 2015
27
'If *I* had her ___ I'd do ....'
Apr 06th 2015
32
      exactly
Apr 06th 2015
39
I was really disappointed at how they went at each other.
Apr 08th 2015
42
They're both so insecure
Apr 13th 2015
68
Who was the guy that had enough clout to fire Ken?
Apr 06th 2015
24
McCann rep
Apr 06th 2015
28
Ohhh, SCDP is a subsidiary of McCann, I get it now
Apr 06th 2015
29
      i kinda loved it
Apr 06th 2015
30
Ken briefly worked for McCann the first time they bought the agency
Apr 06th 2015
38
What was the point of that anyway?
Apr 08th 2015
43
      McCann's.
Apr 10th 2015
44
           Gotcha, thanks!
Apr 10th 2015
46
holy s*t Peggy's date was played by Devon Gummersal (Brian Krakow!)
Apr 06th 2015
33
yup!
Apr 06th 2015
36
yes!!!
Apr 06th 2015
37
1 million dollars in 1970 is 6 mil in 2015 dollars.
Apr 12th 2015
47
i was furious at him while he was writing that check lol
Apr 13th 2015
50
?..so a quarter of a mil?
May 04th 2015

      RE: ?..so a quarter of a mil?

267
damn the Ls came hard and fast for don this week.
Apr 12th 2015
48
so what's the appeal for Don with Diana the waitress?
Apr 13th 2015
49
Similar type of thing with the Bohemian chick in Season 1
Apr 13th 2015
52
Did he actually recognize her from anywhere or...
Apr 13th 2015
55
Maybe Don's just starting to recognize
Apr 13th 2015
78
Hahaha
Apr 13th 2015
85
she looks like him
Apr 13th 2015
80
      Hahahaha. Yo...if we find out she's his forgotten sister
Apr 13th 2015
86
That storyline bothers me tremendously.
Apr 13th 2015
64
I agree.
Apr 13th 2015
      I won't give up on the show
Apr 13th 2015
66
           Oh yea I'm not giving up either.
Apr 13th 2015
70
                Well
Apr 13th 2015
77
                     Yea - but I think the reason for this...
Apr 13th 2015
84
Idk but Diana annoyed me with the last episode
Apr 13th 2015
71
Like I done said above. this is another example of lazy writing
Apr 13th 2015
90
      she's just such a bummer, man
Apr 13th 2015
93
Yeah, fuck Megan in the eye socket
Apr 13th 2015
51
what was she EVEN talking about??
Apr 13th 2015
54
      Agree with alladat.
Apr 13th 2015
56
      She moved to Cali for HIM.
Apr 13th 2015
57
           ^better memory than me. You're right.
Apr 13th 2015
60
           I can buy the first part
Apr 13th 2015
62
           i assume that's coming.
Apr 13th 2015
65
                Welp, so much for that. Knew she wasn't shit
Apr 20th 2015
110
                     I'm still not mad @ Megan over it.
Apr 20th 2015
113
           And on top of all that, he was a dog.
Apr 13th 2015
69
           Also true
Apr 13th 2015
88
           she knew that going in
Apr 13th 2015
94
           Yep
Apr 13th 2015
87
           i fall between where you and hood are opposed
Apr 13th 2015
91
                yup
Apr 13th 2015
95
Also, there really was a time when Harry wasn't a gaping asshole.
Apr 13th 2015
53
Was there?
Apr 13th 2015
58
      First three seasons
Apr 13th 2015
63
           I'm thinking he was timid
Apr 13th 2015
72
                They portrayed him as having a conscience and acting on it those first..
Apr 13th 2015
73
                     those sideburns are like Starro tentacles man
Apr 13th 2015
75
                     At this point he's a worse human being than Lou Avery.
Apr 13th 2015
83
                          scouts on her!
Apr 15th 2015
104
                     At least he rarely gets what he wants
Apr 16th 2015
108
Over and over Megan ain't shit - I'm unsure where Don's at.
Apr 13th 2015
59
seems he finds solace in 'tutes..Freudian
Apr 13th 2015
61
this show is awkwardly humping its way towards the finish line
Apr 13th 2015
74
How bad do you think these batch of episodes are?
Apr 13th 2015
79
That's unfair to put the last season Oz and The Wire on the same level
Apr 13th 2015
82
LOFL @ the last season of the Wire being bad, FOH
Apr 13th 2015
92
      it certainly wasn't 'good'
Apr 15th 2015
105
           Probably my least favorite storyline in ...
Apr 15th 2015
106
I'll say this ep chose weird things to focus on
Apr 13th 2015
81
Yeah
Apr 13th 2015
89
i'm gonna miss Roger and Peggy
Apr 13th 2015
96
Had to laugh when Don said
Apr 14th 2015
97
RE: Had to laugh when Don said
Apr 14th 2015

      I loved that line!
Apr 15th 2015
99
So Stan has the Hakeem from Empire complex?
Apr 15th 2015
100
It's three in the morning, you know why you're here(c)Don Draper
Apr 15th 2015
101
that line was COLD.
Apr 15th 2015
102
yo I almost did a victory lap around my living room when he said that.
Apr 16th 2015
107
playing out the string.
Apr 15th 2015
103
Glenn tried it tho.
Apr 19th 2015
109
Real talk: I think he coulda got it too.
Apr 20th 2015

Apr 20th 2015

Apr 20th 2015
144

128

Apr 20th 2015
147
      nah i thought don played that lil girl right.
Apr 20th 2015
157
      I agree, still I see why Sally was tight.
Apr 21st 2015
170
      pretty much. Betts was flat out ignoring Sally
Apr 21st 2015
176
      Y'all foolin. He shouldn't even entertain that shit
Apr 21st 2015
180
           That's the disinction tho. Betts wanted it
Apr 21st 2015
182
      Not to mention the creepiest.
Apr 21st 2015
177
Its like they are trolling us
Apr 20th 2015
111
it feels like they are doing ALOT of filler
Apr 20th 2015
112
This was my favorite episode yet from this "season"
Apr 20th 2015
152
I don't expect fireworks or loose ends being tied.
Apr 20th 2015
114
^^^^
Apr 20th 2015
117
Agree with you both.
Apr 20th 2015
153
I dunno... Don still is the owner of a penthouse and balcony...
Apr 23rd 2015
190
      Ha! I doubt it.
Apr 23rd 2015
193
Yep, I'm just watching all this play out.
Apr 20th 2015
121

Apr 20th 2015
148

      i think you're right
Apr 20th 2015

           RE: i think you're right
Apr 21st 2015
164
                I feel Peggy and Rodger know
Apr 21st 2015
169
                     Roger knows. Burt Cooper knew.
Apr 21st 2015
174

This is how this has always rolled though
Apr 20th 2015
118
      Agreed.
Apr 20th 2015
154
Why don't you write down all your dreams so I can shit on them?
Apr 20th 2015
115
Sally was awesome.
Apr 20th 2015
116
FUCKING outstanding! It's good and sad to see Sally come around.
Apr 20th 2015
119
bruh, she known who her Daddy is for a LONG time
Apr 20th 2015
149
      Nah, she JUST got out from under his spell.
Apr 21st 2015
171
It was a bit weird to see her
Apr 20th 2015
123
I think he was trying to get her to define success outside of the job.
Apr 20th 2015
126
      i didnt think it came off dickish at all
Apr 20th 2015
127
      honestly, I was too
Apr 20th 2015
150
      it looked like he was fishing for ideas for Roger's speech.
Apr 20th 2015
131
      agreed
Apr 20th 2015
136
      The issue became she was answering the questions that he asked...
Apr 20th 2015
133
           also agreed
Apr 20th 2015
137
           I didn't realize you were in a mood
Apr 20th 2015
139
                that shit was so telling.
Apr 20th 2015
140
                I like how Peggy can just tell Don the.way.shit.is
Apr 21st 2015
178
                     Agreed, and she's one of only 3 or 4, who can.

Apr 20th 2015
122

124
Ah, it was def delivered weird.
Apr 20th 2015
125
RE: Ah, it was def delivered weird.
Apr 20th 2015
132
      but it was her answer to him asking if she had mouths to feed
Apr 20th 2015
145
           she implied that she doesn't work b/c she has mouths to feed.
Apr 20th 2015
155
                she knew what he was asking
Apr 21st 2015
161
                     yes, and she deftly answered the question w/o lying.
Apr 21st 2015
183

Apr 21st 2015

Apr 21st 2015
172
I need to rewatch cause I was a little lost with her
Apr 20th 2015
129
She was in L.A. Lou's on his own and apparently she's a partner.
Apr 20th 2015
130
      when did all that happen??
Apr 20th 2015
134
           You didn't see Lou?
Apr 20th 2015
135
                i'm talking about the latter part

WOW
May 21st 2015

Because their whole goal was to beat 'em, not join 'em
Apr 27th 2015
196
They celebrated like it was the end of what they'd accomplished.
Apr 27th 2015
197
      The 1% telling everyone else that everything is going to be fine.
Apr 27th 2015
200
      I think that's absolutely what was going on in the final scene
Apr 27th 2015
201
      Yup. plus during the last merger, there were a bunch of layoffs
Apr 27th 2015
203
      shit I would've asked for everything in writing in that meeting
Apr 27th 2015
204
      They WERE the underdog
Apr 28th 2015
208
yeah, I very much enjoyed this episode
Apr 27th 2015

      *whispers* "COCA COLA"
Apr 28th 2015

Great Episode
Apr 28th 2015
212
That Lou Avery conversation was hilarious
Apr 28th 2015
215
Ahaha yea that cracked me up.
Apr 28th 2015
216
Lou Avery is the hero of the season. The guy got everything he ever want...
Apr 30th 2015
218
Okay, "THE KING ORDERED IT!!!" vs. "NOT GREAT, BOB!!!" Who ya got?
Apr 30th 2015
219
"Not great, Bob!!!!" by a LONG shot.
Apr 30th 2015
220
"THE KING ORDERED IT!!!" had the perfect comedic build-up
Apr 30th 2015
221
      All fair points. Agree to disagree.
Apr 30th 2015
223
"Hell's bells, Trudy!" is better than both IMO.
Apr 30th 2015

hells bells or jiminy christmas

I liked the scene with Betty a lot too.
May 04th 2015

It really was great. Peggy and Rog...
May 04th 2015

May 05th 2015
249
The Joan shit was really hard to watch
May 04th 2015

It's always jarring seeing her outside of SC&P
May 04th 2015

May 11th 2015
263
He still has his kids though
May 11th 2015
264
      He could move the kids out to Cali with him
May 11th 2015

I don't know. I kind of believe him.
May 12th 2015
284
Yep. I think he had his fun and now realizes he wants something more.
May 12th 2015
286
I've always felt like he wanted to be the next Roger Sterling.
May 12th 2015

...Peggy was talking trash to Joan about doing whatever she wanted, but ultimately stepped back from doing the same thing....Don is still looking for that total happiness, unsure about where to go next....he's having fun, but not as much as he'd like.....I felt bad for Ken, but then he got his revenge... They really did him wrong....

The way they kept showing that everyone had options, but didn't seem to want to take them cause it's unknown territory....

Like, seriously, I don't have anything else to say right now. Roger and Teddy's mustaches ruled everything.

Okay, I'll come back with my thoughts later. But I don't know if there was anything as awesome as those mustaches. Though Ken's revenga was fairly close.

For some reason I was hoping the show would approach the 80's since that's a time frame I can somewhat relate to, but for the show to do that would mean it would have to leap frog through time too much, which would ruin the show's pace IMO.

Sucks seeing them keep trying to tear each other down after BOTH being treated like dogshit by McCann's people. But that's how these two have always been towards each other, so I can't say I'm surprised.

41. "Yeah..."
In response to Reply # 22


  

          

that moment where she said 'If you're dressed like that, what did you expect?', I was shocked.

But it seemed that feminism wasn't at the point of avoiding victim blaming. Correct me if I'm wrong but the notion of a woman in a corporation or anywhere commanding power in a business and still wanting respect for her femininity is a recent development. Maybe in the last ten years, right?

As far as the two of them, like another poster said one has always been jealous or shaking their head at the lack of savvy of the other. (Joan coaxing Peggy to play up her sexuality in S1, Peggy wanting to be a copywriter or be more than a secretary...etc.)

That moment in the elevator was shocking as far as the politics involved, but considering their history personally, I can't be surprised.

Also, why was Peggy so oblivious to the behavior of the Marshall Field execs. Old Peggy would have given it back to them just on general principal. She kind of became a company wo(man) at that point.

that's why I've fallen deep on the side that this show is not critique, but nostalgia

outside of Don, the characters too often float on the same intellectual and emotional wave lengths.

The women, those two especially, should have some form of solidarity at some point, but nope, it just continues to be cattiness for the sake of cattiness.

it was a good episode all in all though

they don't. why?

^ that's the question. the show answers it.

also, the show won't go deep enough into the 70s to hit on the rise of the Women's Liberation movement but i suspect at least one of them if not both would have an awakening inspired by that movement.

fuck you.

In response to Reply # 31


  

          

but all in all it's fiction, there can be moments where characters are used to explore other aspects or challenge an established narrative. if the "author" doesn't that, just becomes "Poverty porn", in this case "sexism porn".

and let me redact the bad writing statement, it's just lazy

i disagree that the show is engaging in 'sexism porn'. based on what i learned back in my feminism and gender studies classes way back (my American history classes as well) i think the portrayal is pretty realistic. i am disappointed that these 2 characters don't work w/each other and offer each other more support and i blame internal and external factors for that.

fuck you.

In response to Reply # 35


  

          

Joan is mad that Peggy has been able to work her way up the ranks of the company on the value of the work she does and the mind she has for the business, meanwhile whenever Joan brings something smart to the table it's either passed off to someone else as an idea or treated as this kind of wondrous moment.

Peggy is mad that Joan has achieved, and in some cases has always had, autonomy as a person solely because of her appearance. Peggy can't just show up somewhere and get a guy to do something because she looks good, she can't sleep her way to a million dollars. She has to grind past midnight in a lonely office cubicle just to live in a shabby apartment on the rough side of town.

Neither of them see the world from the other's point of view, and the competitive nature of that particular office helps enhance it. In Peggy's eyes Joan will always be the girl that had one hand in Roger Sterling's pocket while they held fairly similar positions, and Joan will always see Peggy as the girl who didn't have to sleep with anybody (and wasn't ever asked) to get what she wanted.

Though Don thinks she has great legs.

In response to Reply # 17


  

          

I don't blame them entirely for feeling that way, it's such a male-dominated industry.
But there's little reward to banding together, they're in the minority in the firm. I'm hoping things change, but...

Joan can't get over how far Peggy has come; I think she still sees herself as Peg's superior and it irks her that she can't just override her.

Peggy can't get over Joan's power and beauty; I think she envies Joan a lot for her looks; I'm pretty sure Peggy would use looks to her advantage, even if it wasn't the pic type of attention...she's pretty money oriented.

He was introduced as Ferguson McDonnally from McCann, but all I took from that scene was that he was a former employer of Ken. Is he a client of SCDP and what did that scene have to do with the golf clubs?

yep
the golf clubs was just for his FiL retirement
he didn't realize his FiL was keeping in him in HIS position at SCDP now slash McCann
because when he left them he took all of his billings and client with him including a huge account
this gave McCann folks leeway to fire him once word was out that the FiL was leaving Dow

in turn McCann didn't realize how deep he was in with Dow

heh

38. "Ken briefly worked for McCann the first time they bought the agency"
In response to Reply # 24


  

          

It's kind of convoluted, but back in the Season 3 finale, McCann bought the British agency that bought Sterling Cooper. Ken stuck around with McCann after Don, Sterling, Cooper, Pete, Peggy, etc. all left. He then goes to work for SCDP again in Season 4.

In response to Reply # 43


  

          

He worked there b4 Sterling Cooper and took some of his clients with him. I think that pissed them off. They kept him on after the SC&P buyout bc of his relationship with Dow via his FIL. After he retired they fired him out of revenge. McCann is being posited as an awful place to work except for douchebags - like Don.

fuck you.

In fact I'm kinda lukewarm on both episodes so far this season in general. Just hasn't really engaged me. Not sure where it's headed and don't find myself caring enough to try and figure it out. Hopefully by the end I'll be made to understand what they're going for to wrap up the series. I have confidence that will happen.

since I've been watching from the beginning, but I'm as disappointed as you are so far. I wonder if the hiatus is part of the reason I'm so underwhelmed so far since these batch of episodes aren't that far removed in time compared to when the show started up with a new batch of episodes. It appears The Waitress kicked Don to the curb, so there's some hope things will pick up in terms of where the show will lead the audience with Don.

Mon Apr-13-15 02:44 PM by Brew

          

After all this show has done for me entertainment-wise I'm in for the long haul. But yea - you said it...these abbreviated seasons always piss me off and the networks' greed trumps the narrative of the show which is obnoxious. Breaking Bad and The Sopranos were able to overcome it and finish fairly strong IMO, and I'm sure Mad Men will too ... I just wish the story took priority over the networks' desire to fucking drag it out and risk the story for their bottom line.

Anyway - yea I think the waitress storyline is hopefully on its way out tho but that said, it will feel like a rushed and forced storyline if that's all we see of her. So I almost hope it's "done" while still being totally fleshed out as a Don storyline, if that makes sense. In other words I hope (and expect) that by the end of the season we understand what the purpose of it was, even if that was the last we see of it.

77. "Well"
In response to Reply # 70


  

          

I mentioned the hiatus because I'm wondering if I would have issues with these episodes if the show ran all the episodes for this last season together. It's possible I'm viewing these last batch of episodes with a more skeptical eye since they are on their lonesome and separate from the prior episodes that aired for the final season. I'm not upset with AMC for deciding the breakup the season necessarily, but I'm more angry with Weiner and Co. for how sorry things have been so far.

I somewhat hoping the show will rebound, but overall these batch of episodes feel very very choppy to me for some reason. The scenes and plotlines don't feel too fluid to me. Almost feels rushed.

...feeling of being rushed and disjointed is specifically *because* the final season was split up. They had to shoot and edit both seasons at totally separate times which naturally lends itself to a feeling of inconsistency. Had the crew had the option to write it as one full season and edit everything all in the same time period this may not be an issue.

I mean, I'm just firing off my own thoughts here, I really have no idea, and for all we know this will all add up to something great at the end of the season...but right now it does seem pretty poor. We may slightly disagree on who's to blame for the disjointedness but we at least both agree that it is poor so far.

Tells him to fuck off, basically. I'm guessing it's like Don looking in the mirror but who knows? Maybe just reiterating how he makes poor choices in life, in women...

In response to Reply # 49


  

          

so vague and odd with the "Don needs pussy damnit," motif

we're over it. three seasons deep, come on. it's over. some god damn catharsis should be creeping in by now

they did more with the scene of Don starring at fly ass Betty with her clown husband and the kids in the kitchen, after Don hit him with the, "he can get his own shake", knowing want some version of that back

I mean, fuck her mom for pulling that shit with the movers, but she should have let Don know what's up, not come at hi with that "I don't want anything from you" shit. And he breaks her off with a cool million? She ain't shit.

57. "She moved to Cali for HIM."
In response to Reply # 54


  

          

She had a gig on a soap opera in NYC (they used to shoot most soaps in NYC and most TV generally in NYC). She left it for Don bc he was going out there for SCDP and Sunkist (I think) but then Ted got that gig after Megan had moved out there. Don never moved. Meanwhile Megan has struggled to land acting roles out there. So I think that is what she's talking about. Plus she spent some of her prime adult years with Don and he was a mess. And he didn't want her to work at all - remember he didn't want her on that soap at first. He was resentful and not supportive of her career choice b4 she got that soap gig.

fuck you.

62. "I can buy the first part"
In response to Reply # 57


  

          

Which is why Don gives her the $1 million after Harry says to him, "She never should have quit her soap and moved out of New York." He knows that part of it is his fault.

Not buying the other part of the equation though. Megan married Don with her eyes open. She knew about his past and who he "really was" (as in Dick Whitman). They tried to make the marriage work, and it didn't. Yeah, Don is a big reason for that, but when she told him she wants a divorce, he isn't petty at all. And then he finances her throughout the separation, and writes her a check for $1 million. That at least earns a "Hey, my imbalanced mother had the movers take all your furniture. Don't worry, I'll send it back."

He was the decent guy in the office. Then he went over to the new firm with Don and the rest, and transformed into a gaping asshole. Working in Hollywood ruined him.

Mad Men has been mediocre for near three seasons. ever since they revealed Dick Whitman to people within Don's universe. it sucked all the intimate tension from the show and they made one of the most likely characters, Peggy, into one of the most unlikable.

they def have had some great highs and the show always looks beautiful in terms of set design, costume, lighting, the framing of scenes etc, but the story line and the supposed critiques of post-50s Americana are a joke

you complaining about lazy writing but the most complex show in the history of television loses all of it's 'grey' when it comes to the newspaper season.

Gus the white knight. Pure. He'd never do anything wrong. He just cares about the news. And doing it right. And the bad guys are beating him up! Poor Gus!

Other dude and Gayle are just 'pure evil' representing what's wrong with print media/newsreporting.

It lost it's edge. It painted that picture as too black and white. It was....LAZY(c).

I agree with you in general too, season 5 is easily the worst and super disappointing.

In response to Reply # 74


  

          

With five episodes to go (AND FOUR MORE TO THE SEASON FINALE!), I don't think we need an episode spending so much time on Megan's family and Mimi Rogers in a pants suit; the latter was much more enjoyable then the former. I also don't know if we need to spend so much time on the waitress unless she really is going to be Don's salvation. If she's just another instrument to show how his life is empty, then it's more wasted energy.

I'd rather they spend more screen time on Pete's unfortunate red sweater, Sally, and Teddy's mustache. I don't need crazy Julia Ormond.

when she gave Glen that "little boy, my how you've grown up... I want to pop your dick squarely in my mouth, if I'm honest with myself" look when she walked into the living room, I was like LOL WTF Betty, come on

Don was just as bad with Sally's little friend. She hit him with that ether

Don was responding to her the girl in kind, but still talking to everyone at the table, But he wasn't like Betty who was on some "My my how you've grown...*gulp*"

But those things happening back to back, and Sally kind of knowing how her dad is, i can't blame her for feeling how she felt.

She shamelessly stood there looking thirsty. Don probably enjoyed the attention on some level, but i didn't really see it as that bad.

Don wouldn't go there but there's no way i can blame Sally for assuming he would, especially after what just happened with her mom, and seeing that she's walked in on Don cheating on his (now estranged) second wife with his neighbor.

>this ep felt really weak to me....

The first two, to me, seemed like forced, lazy storylines. This ep at least seemed to be leading to something. Don having kind of an existential, philosophical crisis...they moved his family story ahead a bit and if that's the last we see of them, I'm fine with that...Peggy and Don had a moment, an interesting one for sure. But these are the types of scenes I was hoping for in these last episodes. I cared not a single fucking bit about the weird waitress Don was chasing. I care about what happens in the office, and with his family, cause those are the folks we've been with for 8 years now.

Plus this ep had the absolutely hilarious "I can't believe you had the balls to come back here..." moment. The look on Peggy and especially Pete's face in that scene was CLASSIC Mad Men. What a great scene.

Like, there are no "mysteries" this show needs to solve. There's not going to be a "reveal" about who the falling man is in the opening credits. Weiner learned from Chase on "The Sopranos," and this show is a lot less plot-driven than that.

I was fairly certain we weren't gonna have any Tony-kills-Chris moments in these final episodes, and I am perfectly fine with that because this isn't that kind of show.

That said, I thought the first two eps were weak because the focus wasn't on the characters I care about. But we'll see where that all ends up. This has been my favorite episode so far.

Megan won't have to answer for her mother stealing Don's furniture.

lots of loose ends will be left dangling. there won't be much (if any) comeuppance though there's much due.

Everyone one that was officially tied to Don via his marriages knows about the fraud he's pulling, but professionally I think only Pete knows. I don't remember him ever telling Peggy, despite how close they were in the first season. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?

Yea ... this was my problem with the first two. I understand this show and love it for the fact that it lacks fireworks, but it's ALWAYS been interesting. The first two eps this "season" were not, at all, interesting. Sunday's was extremely interesting, to me. And very well done. It was a vintage Mad Men ep and that's all I've really been hoping for for these final 7.

While big things can and have happened in the finales, it's not like the usually "build" to them in the way most other shows do. So expecting there to be more of a thru-line beyond, "Don got everything and still isn't happy" is unrealistic.

I agree that I wish they'd focus more on people I care about, but this episode was solid enough.

^ this is where I'm at, which is why I liked this episode best so far. It focused on the characters I actually care about and stories from the office which are far more interesting than, say, the diner waitress.

I really don't mind them treating like this "any other season" all that much, cause this show has never been about huge surprise moments. I just am glad they finally got to the core people.

Also, if this was really Sally's last episode, it's somehow appropriate that she spends it watching both of her parents soaking up sexual attention from teenagers.

In response to Reply # 115


  

          

want some sort of approval or recognition from Don since I thought she had moved on from viewing Don as a mentor, but I was happy to see how that scene played out. I was confused, but Don was trying to poach her answers for the sake of the speech he was writing for Roger, correct?

Because he never did. He really has her best interests at heart, he's just a dick and therefore it all comes out dickish.

In response to Reply # 126


  

          

he did that w/2 other ppl i can't remember.

and he did come off dickish b/c Peggy was there asking for a formal job review and he was off in the woods asking her where she sees herself in the future and all that jazz. it WAS dickish b/c he completely ignored her request for a review b/c he was too preoccupied w/himself (having taken on Roger's request to write that speech). meanwhile she wanted the real review b/c she'd had a stellar year and wanted him to acknowledge it and write it up formally - that's something she could use going forward as she tries to make her way up to creative director.

fuck you.

In response to Reply # 126


  

          

...rather than the questions he was thinking about. She wants a performance review, and he's in his office having a philosophical struggle about what the future holds and the true meaning of success. They have this conversation not that long after the realtor tells him his condo reeks over failure.

Now of course, Peggy can't read his mind, so it comes off as him shitting all over her.

It was easy to misinterpret. My wife said/thought the exact same thing after watching the scene, because Joan's delivery was sort of weird, but she was saying "You're a jack-ass for trying to make me choose between my kid and you."

>He really wasn't trying to make her choose. She str8 up lied

>w/her. I don't get why she lied.

I guess she still saw the whole encounter as a fling, and figured she was never going to see/hear from him again once she left LA. And on some level she still looks at herself as young and beautiful, and believes have extra "baggage" prevents her from getting everything she wants. There's no way to know if dude would have reacted the same way if she told him off the bat that she was a single mother.

And I can't remember her exact phrasing, but I think she didn't actually say, "I don't have kids," she said something like, "I'm on my own and I love my job", with the context being that she wasn't married. So it was more of a lie by omission.

>Oh and can we talk about the fact that she's working for Lou??????
>
>WTF!

I don't think she's working for Lou per se. I think Lou is just the type of jack-ass who will always act like women are beneath him, even when the woman in question is a partner. She might end up being the one who gets him shit-canned, as she didn't seem happy that Lou was making pitches to Hanna Barbera on "company time."

I must've looked away for a couple minutes and missed something because I couldn't tell if Lou still worked for the firm, if she was in NY or LA, if this was some side job stuff or if she was just paying a visit?

I think that's true to a large extent for most teens as they grow out of childhood and take their parents of their pedestals and realize they are flawed people just like everyone else. Not saying that your interpretation isn't accurate, but I don't think it's unique to Sally's situation at all.

One small detail that I liked about that scene was that Don didn't wave back to Sally like the other parents were when she got on the bus. He coldly turned around and walked away when Sally got on the bus.

because...hes an asshole
lol

thing is Sally has been doing this from get go
its not because she's a teen
i would have thought she might come to appreciate... something about her parents
but as a teen her lens is sharper than ever
and she's right
they are assholes

But she definitely saw the truth about her parents as clear as night and day, while the rest of us were feeling bad for or cheering on these anti heroes aka Don and Betty (and we still do lol). For what she's been through, she didn't turn out too bad.

In response to Reply # 160


  

          

Don was right in that SOMEONE would be willing to buy his place as empty and sad as it appeared.

the realtor was right in that showing the place in such empty and sad condition made it more difficult for her to find a buyer.

and most importantly the realtor was right that the place was empty and sad. and w/o saying it she said and Don saw that the apartment was a reflection of his life - great exterior ("the lobby is nice") but ultimately empty and sad.

fuck you.

In response to Reply # 168


          

I'm surprised he let her dog him out like that. Don was definitely more patient with her than I thought he'd be. I guess that's indicative of his general malaise.

So is that the last we see of Sally? After their interactions last season, I was hoping for more of an arc for her/Don/Betty. And poor Bobbie can't get but a few throwaway lines. Gene barely exists.

It's almost impossible to predict this show and why Weiner will choose to explore with the last episodes. I'm gonna miss it immensely for exactly that reason.

"stop kidding yourself". as much as he made a fool of himself, the kid got some shots in on Don in the end. That, and the thing about Lee Garner got in Don's head.

"I can't believe you have the balls to come back" really was an all-pro level line that only Don and Roger could have pulled off

Speaking of Lee Garner, I wonder if we're gonna get a Sal update before the show is over.

Makes it feel like they were the underdog relative to these other agencies, and that adds to the dejected feeling.

Good to see Trudy again, and Ken really did give Roger what he deserved there. Cool to see Ken (likely) get that type of send off.

Don trying to calm the office staff to no avail was sobering. The magic is gone.

Kinda glad Diana was gone. Didn't want to wallow in that despair any longer.

Looks like next week's episode will me in progress of the move. Guessing the finale sees them all settled wherever the decide to do so. This episode really gave the people what they want, and it was wonderful to see. Reminded me of how captivating the show can be.

Oh, Peggy and Stan, best scene of the season so far. Shit was gripping.

That scene, damn. The people at the top telling the people at the bottom don't worry everything will be fine. Everything is fine for them because they have money and power, everyone else (all the lower level people) have neither and could possibly be out of a job.

I don't know, maybe I'm reading it the wrong way, but that's how I felt with that closing scene.

Don and Roger getting drunk and Megan's moma coming up was a nice little scene too

lastly, that scene when McCan is giving each there account and ignores/disses Joan was such a great scene

they teased us w/it when she was assigned to work w/those kids. i'm glad she tackled the subject head on. i had expected they wouldn't give us ANY closure related to the baby and i'm pleasantly surprised that they did. but w/o ridiculous sentimentality or some far-fetched situation where she and/or Pete seek and/or are awarded custody.

that was fitting and realistic, i think.

fuck you.

Better Call Saul-style.

We can have a new show set in the 1600's. backtabbing, intrigue, royalty, power, murder. It's like Game of Thrones, only it's all leading up to the creation of Pete Campbell.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

of the past two or three seasons. In addition to what everyone else already said, it looks as if Don is losing something during these batch of episodes. Officially lost his marriage, his apartment and furniture, and now his original place of employment. Wonder what else will he lose during the next four episodes.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

The Coca-Cola whisper was great.

Peggy & Pete scene was very good too. Not sure if this means anything but they were both wearing blue, sitting on a blue couch in front of a big blue picture during a scene with sad/bad news. I know nothing about set design or costume but that seemed to hit home with me.

There is no way that Ted's new girlfriend is Di(ana) the sad waitress is there? He said something about just running into her downtown and she is divorced, he also mentioned she has no kids, but we know she has no problem lying....

I noticed that the episode was directed by Jared Harris (Lane Pryce).

...and if you listen hard enough I say some things - Jeezy

The line was perfect, the scene was perfect, his face was perfect, he delivered it perfectly, and the scene didn't need a subsequent sucker punch to finish it off.

One of the best unintentional humor moments in dramatic television history, IMO.

It starts off setting up all the possible legitimate reasons why Pete's daughter wouldn't be let into the school, but then reveals that it's happening because Pete's ancestors participated in the fricking Red Wedding. Which Pete is apparently aware of, and has the necessary response/retort prepared. And the scene ends with the sucker punch.

those mccann folks are some big biz douchelords. i dont think any of the scdp folks could stand it there aside from harry crane.

- that shit w/ peggy skating while roger played the organ had me dying. such a great scene.
- bert got his final(?) sendoff
- peggy feeling like she was swagging into the mccann offices while for the rest of them it was just tuesday. dont think this will work out too well for her.
- joan need to just go be a housewife for ol boy.

i think it ends w/ don just saying fuck new york and never coming back.

>i could follow these characters forever man. this ep had everything

Yep yep yep. What an excellent episode. I'm still all set with the Diana stuff, though I do trust it will eventually pay off...but the rest of the episode was so over the top fantastic that shit didn't even bother me this time. Last 3 eps have been all timers.


>- that shit w/ peggy skating while roger played the organ had
>me dying. such a great scene.

Yep....but...


>- peggy feeling like she was swagging into the mccann offices
>while for the rest of them it was just tuesday. dont think
>this will work out too well for her.

^^^that part had me laughing even harder than the skating scene. Chick was just head in the clouds'ing into that joint, did not give a fuuuuuuck. Hilarious slow motion stuff.

Re: Don...yea that could be the case. He saw the plane and was like -- yep I gotta get outta dodge. Don't blame him. That ain't his scene. Thought he'd be making a pitch but now he's just another number in a bigger office. Not his style. Rog ain't gonna love that scene either.

Don did look out the window of his new office strangely...think Weiner is trying to play us re: the guy falling from the building stuff. I'd be disappointed if it really ended that way and don't think it will but he's definitely trying to play with our minds a bit with that stuff.

Roger always gets me laughing. Nice to see Peggy have a genuine fun moment again.
That Joan stuff is a huge bummer. Ferg is such a jackass. Ted Chough is like," F it,
I'm staying".
Don ain't having it, and California looks likely. Nice to hear him refer to Betty as "Birdie" again. Curious what next week brings with regards to Betty.

Great episode, though some of it was tough to watch because we root for these characters so much.

Yep. That was great. Ted knows he can handle that scene and even likes the lack of responsibility, while it's not Don's style at all.

Glad that camp situation from season 5 or 6 or whenever it was allowed them to kinda come to a mutual understanding and get along. If that's their last scene together is was fucking perfect.

For the record, he's called her Birdie pretty much throughout, even post-divorce. Not often but for example, a season or two back when Sally was getting in trouble and fighting with Betty, Don called her Birdie throughout their conversation(s) trying to calm her down.

haven't had a ton of scenes together throughout the series but they play off eachother very, very well in the scenes they do have. I'm glad Weiner recognized that and allowed them one more (amazing) moment together.

Peggy and Rodger shit was great

lol at Don going to dude's house looking for the broken bartender woman. At his core he's such a damn weirdo. Hubby called his ass out with a quickness too, hit him with that "ya need Jesus" shit in the affirmative.

that painting was really cool

idk how i would've handled the blatant bs, gender discrimination, harassment and insults.

i was really sad to see her 'lose' this battle. and roger? geez. tells her to take the shitty offer, its the best they'll do. admits he effed up but damn, he's cold as fuck. i hope she gets as far away as possible from all of these ad execs. she deserves so much better.

if she comes back for the finale, i hope she gets SOME kind of justice.

that storyline is pretty whack. but everything else. LOVE THIS SHOW. watched it from the beginning when it started, before everyone got on board. the writing is brilliant...the characters are so fascinating as are their interactions and personal/professional battles…the attention to detail and accuracy of depicting the different time periods…the different possible interpretations and outcomes that lead to lively discussions here and everywhere else. i could go on. Mad Men will be very missed.

Betty keeps climbing the stairs
while Don is sitting & waiting.
That says more about their characters
than words can describe.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

when he gave that kid his car and sat on that bench in the middle of nowhere waiting for a bus to i dunno where w/nothing on him i figured it's a great time for him to start over.

he has no connections to anything - oh, i guess he owns a condo in NYC, maybe. but otherwise he has no job, no marriage, no ongoing spousal-support obligation (Megan took a cash payout which i assume came w/o further obligation), no ongoing child-support obligation (b/c Betty has custody and she's married). he has no extended family (Anna Draper is dead and Dick Whitmore's brother is dead). as long as he can access that Don Draper savings account at whatever bank is holding his money he's all good. he can become anyone. he doesn't have to be Don Draper anymore. i wonder if he'll continue w/that identity.

fuck you.

We'll have to see how much they mean to him, especially with the Betty news. I can't see him just bouncing on the out to Cali or wherever. I'm hoping he heads back to NY, finds a humble new job/career, and starts his hustle again. This show is so hard to predict.

Part of me wants to see a final episode all about Don, no other character appearances. Don on the road back home. Seemed important that he finally dropped the truth about Korea on the other vets. Another weight off his shoulders. The only big question is whether he gets the Betty news and how it affects his path?
