Pretty sure I addressed that.All of these bad postings are taking away how bad gekko's post was.

Huh. I thought he hates brevity.Gekko hates women. I think that's what he was saying.

TY. I'm due to go booze shopping and I haven't had that in awhile. Why not!yepRaider Nation said:I deleted last night's episode. When Don takes a drink before the meeting with Hershey's, it was Canadian Club, yes?
I think you're reading too much into how Sally looked at Don. We have little or no idea what she is actually thinking.The Sally scene at the end was stupid and contrived.
WE know the importance of the scene. SHE doesnt. She is a messed up kid from a broken home who caught her dad cheating, but hey....she got to see the run down home he grew up in. What spoiled young teen wouldnt empathize with that?
A truer ending is her looking at him with contempt, setting up a final season of redemption.
I just skip over them now. Should probably put it on ignore.All of these bad postings are taking away how bad gekko's post was.

That is true.That minister deserved to get punched in the face anyway.
I feel pretty much the exact opposite.I think what disappointed me in the finale was that it just seemed too rushed and a bit disjointed. As usual, the show had a great pace throughout the season but then all the storylines were given this dramatic shift at the end.
That's not saying much. And that's a terrible theory.Sorry if this is a Honda, but I didn't see it mentioned on the last couple pages. If you like crazy Mad Men theories, I thought this one was better than most. Still crazy, but not quite as crazy as others.

Setting aside the silly theory- which I posted because I thought it was amusing rather than likely to be accurate- isn't your post basically just one of the two possibilities? Either Don actually addresses some of his demons and becomes more comfortable in his own skin, or he doesn't. Regardless if how it actually ends, I always thought an ending where he continues to run and hide and we realize he'll never change is more likely than the happy ending where he grows and finds happiness somehow and all that. I know fans like Draper and are rooting for him, but this isn't really a show known for giving the people what they want.That would be an even more cynical and unsatisfying ending than the Sopranos.
Having learned that he couldn't maintain one false facade, Don hits the reset button and assumes a new identity a second time. Real change is impossible and Don is committed to a life of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic over and over until he dies.
No. It's definitely a possibility (in the broad sense that Don is incapable of change). I've said before that I sincerely hope that Weiner doesn't pull a Sopranos. Not because I think either option is any more "true." But because I think that one option now feels cliche in the wake of the Sopranos.Setting aside the silly theory- which I posted because I thought it was amusing rather than likely to be accurate- isn't your post basically just one of the two possibilities?

Bob or Manolo?In a twisted way, Bob did Pete a huge favor. Almost as if it was a premeditated euthanization....
Good question.Why do they keep beating that long dead horse.
When did Joan hire Bob Benson as her personal chef?How did Manuel know Pete's mom was going on the cruise?
Now that SC+Price has the Sunkist account are we going to see them come up with Charlie the Tuna?
If the show is set in the 1960s how come all the people aren't in black and white?

Did anyone notice that Pete's daughter never moved when he went to her bedside? I think he murdered her and that's why Trudi had that look on her face.
Also, who says Don's tremors were from alcohol withdrawal? I can clearly see Don getting ALS in the next season.
Laura Linney would be a good adult Sally.
The pics the lady took from across the street are cool.Raider Nation said:
Andy Greenwald looks like a hipster muppet.Bill Simmons had Sepinwall and fellow TV critic Andy Greenwald on the latest BS Report podcast.
Greenwald crapped all over "Glen" (Matt Weiner's kid, incidentally) for being a terrible actor.
Not a unique opinion, although I didn't really think he was that bad in the finale. The fact that he's Weiner's kid is probably most of the reason he's annoying.Bill Simmons had Sepinwall and fellow TV critic Andy Greenwald on the latest BS Report podcast.

Simmons was of the opinion that Weiner used this entire season to set up the final season, and he didn't care for that. Seppy liked the season just fine, with the exception of "The Crash"... the trippy episode where Dr. Feelgood gave out amphetamine shots.What did Sepinwall claim, on the podcast, that he thought of the season as a whole? I don't read him.
Yeah, "The Crash" was a weird one. But because of that I would gave thought Sepinwall would have been falling all over himself about it. Simmons: lulz. Yes, that UNHEARD-OF phenomenon of using a penultimate chapter to set up the final one!!!! Outrageous!!!11Simmons was of the opinion that Weiner used this entire season to set up the final season, and he didn't care for that.

Nah, he's cool with using a couple of episodes to set up a final season, but he's indignant about them punting the entire season.Yeah, "The Crash" was a weird one.

Agreed, and I don't see it either. The only aspect of this season that didn't work for me (and it was significant) was the Sylvia nonsense. Now I remember that I lost a large degree of interest in ER because Cardellini just never developed any acting range. But even that drove Don's relationship with Sally into new territory and made me feel very sorry for Megan, so it wasn't a complete waste.Nah, he's cool with using a couple of episodes to set up a final season, but he's indignant about them punting the entire season.Yeah, "The Crash" was a weird one.

Which I don't see at all, BTW. The worst season of Mad Men is still better than 98% of everything else out there.
No kidding. This Sunday night tv thing is going to be the suck until August 11.God. No mad men. No GOT. No basketball or football or hockey.
Guess I'll just go to bed.
Falling Skies is a lot better in Season 3. It is on Sunday night and worth watchingNo kidding. This Sunday night tv thing is going to be the suck until August 11.God. No mad men. No GOT. No basketball or football or hockey.

True blood! FMLGod. No mad men. No GOT. No basketball or football or hockey.
Guess I'll just go to bed.
AMC shows two episodes of Mad Men every Sunday morning. :gettingthefix:God. No mad men. No GOT. No basketball or football or hockey.
Guess I'll just go to bed.
Heh. Yeah, not a fan of either. Falling Skies is good, though, and so is The Killing, particularly this season after its resurrection. Totally different genres from MM, of course, so mileage and all.Hey, Dexter and True Blood are starting back up!
*lifts leg up and cuts disgusting fart in protest*
if you didn't like the first, you're probably not going to like the restJust finished watching Season 1 of this show. Does it get better or is this about it?
