My favorite aspect of the series is how it shows the culture contrast in the early 60s vs. today. Probably why I like the early seasons more.

Don's best pitch was the one that got Megan out of her bra.

One of my favorite scenes:

Punctuated by an all-timer line by Roger ("right when he got it in the door").

Was that really Elizabeth Moss roller skating? The camera was far enough away that I could not tell for sure. And googling gave me nothing

Might be the funniest line of the series. Roger probably has the top 50 of them himself.

In an episode of Scrubs, all the main characters were supposed to be on skates going through the lobby. Sarah Chalke was the only one who could skate out of the 6 in the screen. They were standing on skate boards and a crew member was pushing them along off screen.
Peggy was skating along and you saw all of her including the skates

Favorite scene was after the young guy from England gets his foot run over by the lawn mower and Roger says, "and he just got it in the door". And all the guys.

Really great scene that laid so much foundation for the rest of the series.
Thought at the time Campbell was gone.

The accumulated scenes between Don and Conrad Hilton add up to be one of the best story arcs of the series. Hilton was everything a young **** Whitman aspired to be, with wealth and status and name recognition. Yet he was such a petty, cantankerous and spiritually empty little man. I think Hamm did some of his finest acting in those scenes, as another illusion of his dissolved before his eyes.

I thought the episode was fantastic. Like just about everybody, I think, I have no interest in all about the Diana storyline but I did like how Don went from being Hobart's white whale to just another guy in a creative suit hired to do a job. He even realized that Ted got the same speech from Hobart that he got which really had to be a kick in the nuts. Like the review posted said, maybe he needed the husband to tell him what an idiot he was for wasting his time on Diana to realize that's not how he should be spending the final moments of the series.
I also really enjoyed the Don-Betty scene. It's been a long time since we've seen them that at ease with one another and actually liking each other.
Absolutely everything about the Peggy-Roger scene was perfect. Peggy roller skating will go down as one of my favorite Mad Men scenes of all time. Plus whenever Peggy smiles and laughs it seems so rare that I really enjoy it.
I hope this is the end for Joan. I'm not sure where else they can take her character at this point. She craved status, went about it entirely the wrong way in terms of getting it and now has to pay the consequences, even if she was entirely in the right at the end. It wasn't a happy ending but not every character deserves one. Plus, she gets Capt. Pike as a consolation prize.
I don't think this will be the last we see of Peggy even if her final strut down the office was a great moment for her. I still think she's far too connected to Don to just have it end there for her.
As far as favorite scenes I'll never tire of watching the Lane-Pete fight with Roger's comments. I agree that if we compile a Top 50 comments of this show Roger will have an overwhelming percentage of them.

I don't know why he'd go back to McCann. He's seen the future and it renders him relatively useless and creatively powerless, certainly not as vital as he once was. So why go back or why try for another agency or even that life? I could see him turning in the Draper identity completely in favor of starting over (again) or as someone else mentioned going back to being **** Whitman and bringing himself full circle. Maybe the whole point of this is that he was never truly meant to be Don Draper and should always be **** Whitman.

It was actually just a Gilligan's Island joke, but I agree with your premise otherwise.

Mentioned above. Roger made a comment at the beginning of previous episode alluding to the fact that Cutler cashed out and doesn't have to deal with McCann anymore ("I hate that guy").

Looks like we'll see some Betty-Henry stuff next week which reminds me that I always wanted to see Don punch that guy's lights out. Guess that'll never happen now.

How many ghosts has Don seen? Anna. Bert. Anyone else? Maybe he'll see them all at the end and nod knowingly like Luke did at the end of Return of the Jedi.

They keep showing Lane's New York Mets pennant, including in Don's new office. But I don't see a direct connection there, just another instance of Don haunted by his past.
