Mad Men on AMC (3 Viewers)

I really hope Don doesn't go back to his old life. I think the show will take a step backwards if he does. His wife has zero personality, a total drag and acts like a child.
I think they're going to make us wait until next season to see if Don comes back or not and what happens with his marriage.
The show is called Mad Men not **** Whitman....of course he'll be back, that's the only realistic way they can keep the ad agency and all the characters over there as a part of the show.BTW for those of you who don't know Jon Hamm who plays don will be the host of Saturday Night Live this week.
That seems backasswards. While I agree that as the most interesting character he probably will be back, they could certainly keep it going with the amount of characters they have and the dynamic they've created with the Brits taking over. After all, it's called Mad Men not the #### Whitman Show.
Ummm...I think what he was saying was that he hopes Don doesnt come back and just drop right back into his old life, because he disliked the wife.And I kind of agree with that.

I loved the last shot of the show when he is in the ocean and he finally goes under the water in a type of re-birth or baptism. He character is amazingly well written. I dont know how a guy could play someone who comes off so confident and sure of himself when he is nothing but, inside.

Hopes? It was a definitive statement, not one of hope.And he didn't mention Don's wife. Just the other guys at the ad agency.

Just some awesome and amazing subtleties in the last couple episodes. I'm new to the show this year and it's just outstanding.

The scene where the guy who Sterling screws takes out the two brits for dinner, and they talk about here's to an "old friend" and he picks up and finally downs the martini -- I'm assuming this guy is a recovering alcoholic, because he's never had a drink when offered and hesitated when these guys were drinking. I thought that "old friend" line was fantastic.

There were a bunch of other similar subtleties. Just a killer show.
Yeah, they mentioned this in an earlier episode.
 
**** Whitman will attempt to navigate Don Draper's world and fail miserably (except with respect to his children.)
:no: Why do you think that. Obviously if he truely is reborn he won't be the womanizer he was before but other than that everything else should be the same for him

The one where he kicked Chauncey out the front door of the office and on to the streets of Manhattan to fend for himself. Like the dog was Otis or something.

It's possible that they do that but then you're talking about having two seperate shows into one hour. Half of it would dedicated to **** whitman and the other half to the ad agency and IMO that doesn't work.It's like with the show "chuck", he works at an electronics store called Buy More and last season he was there a lot and the show worked well but this year he's off doing his spy stuff and we're getting completely separate story lines about what's going on at the buy more and a number of ppl don't like it

 
Just an awesome season finale.

I don't know if they fired Duck, but clearly Draper will not be working for Pete and Duck. Since I assume there's no way Draper would stand for that, I have to assume that Draper's either the new President or that Draper will stay because Duck was fired.

I wish I could have heard that conversation once they asked Duck to leave the room :bag:

I think by Pete coming into Draper's office after Draper told him "he is ready" their relationship is fine. Remember their problems stemmed from Pete not being ready and expecting things to be handed to him. You can see in Pete's character that he is way different this last part of the season than the first part of last season.Draper won't work for Duck, that's pretty clear but remember Draper doesn't have a contract so he could go elsewhere or have a deal where he doesn't have to listen to Duck.The one thing I don't want to see this show go is in the direction where Draper goes back to his wife. So much crap has happened and perhaps he "got it" when the waves were hitting him in CALI but I would rather see his character grow in another direction. If he goes back to his wife and starts cheating again, then what?

The bad blood might be over, but it wasn't jsut Pete's immaturity. Pete tried to blackmail Draper about his identity.

He was doing that because he didn't like the fact that Draper was probably the first person in his life who told him "no". He's a totally different person with Draper then and now. Notice there wasn't any bad blood between them in LA? Draper deep down knew he had what it took but was a spoiled rich kid. The old Pete would have not said anything to Draper and looking forward to getting back at him but now he gives him a heads up.

Do you honestly feel like he is dying to get back with Betty? Yea, he wrote the letter but I dunno I just don't feel like he really wants to get back with her.

IMO the best one of the season although I didn't see the anne hathaway one which a number of ppl seem to loveNice season finale although I was hoping to see joan's rapist fiance get his ### kicked. Also I hope betty's baby isn't don's. BTW what peggy did was messed up. It sucks to find out that the girl you love doesn't love you back. It sucks to find out a girl you got pregnant never told you about it and just gives the baby up for adoption. But to find out both at the same time? Man, that's harsh
 
Can we talk about Peggy and Pete? Is she really over him and just told him to deal with her guilt as the priest spoke about? She said she could have shamed him into being with her. Was that was proof she didn't want to be with him? Or that she didn't want to bve with him under diress?

I think once she got the office from the Popsicle account she is no longer insecure and he's married so she no longer wants to be with him. She hasn't even looked in his direction all serious if I can recall.

RightBetty / Don

Peggy / Pete

Why wouldn't Betty's baby be someone else besides Don? It's clear she wouldn't even think about straying until she found out about Don cheating on her.

 
Surely Duck and Don can't coexist? If not, no doubt the new owners know who they need to keep.

I guess it could be a great storyline though.

Dying? No. But he's been rudderless for a long time. I think ****'s time with the bohemians and Don's real wife showed him that his fulfillment would come through his family.

But his wife didn't show him anything. He was gone the whole time and was honest with he told Sterling that he felt relieved. It's not like his real wife showed him how bad he's got it or anything. She's a dud.

:nerd:
Don is going back to Betty because she and the kids are his anchor to reality. To an identity. They are all he has. He won't do them like he did his brother. He may be empty inside but he is trying.Don will probably become the President of the Sterling-Cooper office. He will have even more power. He is not going anywhere obviously because the rest of the cast isn't.Besides Don, the most ineresting character I think is the hot red-head secretary. Her storyline has been so subtle yet so glaring. Great work.Don's womanizing ways are a major appeal to the show. Him staying loyal to Betty will be difficult. Could see them offing Betty. Childbirth or something.Overall, very good season. Would have like more fireworks with Campbell and more airtime for the gay guy in the office.

Yes, it was like they brought that guy in just to have a way to get Peggy a haircut. :thumbup: Could be good tension to have a guy who is "out" with a guy who is not. (Sal)I think it is very interesting how they are evolving chatracters (Joan, Pete) at a time period that was really characterized by a lot of change.

Are you talking about his first fake wife? I assumed you were talking about Betty since that's really his only 'real' wife.

Do you honestly feel like he is dying to get back with Betty? Yea, he wrote the letter but I dunno I just don't feel like he really wants to get back with her.
Dying? No. But he's been rudderless for a long time. I think ****'s time with the bohemians and Don's real wife showed him that his fulfillment would come through his family.
But his wife didn't show him anything. He was gone the whole time and was honest with he told Sterling that he felt relieved. It's not like his real wife showed him how bad he's got it or anything. She's a dud.
What?
Are you talking about his first fake wife? I assumed you were talking about Betty since that's really his only 'real' wife.
The chick in Cali. Maybe I should have said "the real Don's wife" rather than "Don's real wife."

Just an awesome season finale.

I don't know if they fired Duck, but clearly Draper will not be working for Pete and Duck. Since I assume there's no way Draper would stand for that, I have to assume that Draper's either the new President or that Draper will stay because Duck was fired.

I wish I could have heard that conversation once they asked Duck to leave the room :yes:
I think by Pete coming into Draper's office after Draper told him "he is ready" their relationship is fine. Remember their problems stemmed from Pete not being ready and expecting things to be handed to him. You can see in Pete's character that he is way different this last part of the season than the first part of last season.Draper won't work for Duck, that's pretty clear but remember Draper doesn't have a contract so he could go elsewhere or have a deal where he doesn't have to listen to Duck.

The one thing I don't want to see this show go is in the direction where Draper goes back to his wife. So much crap has happened and perhaps he "got it" when the waves were hitting him in CALI but I would rather see his character grow in another direction.

LOL I guess because I associated her with his "first" wife I got mixed up. Ironically Don's "fake" wife he gets along with way more than his "real" and current wife.

:thumbup:
Don is going back to Betty because she and the kids are his anchor to reality. To an identity. They are all he has. He won't do them like he did his brother. He may be empty inside but he is trying.
I also think it is important to remember where Don came from. Basically orphaned, grew up in an unloving environment etc. Earlier this season we saw how hard it was for Don to discipline his kid. Betty and the kids are all of the things he didn't have.
 
Didn't it seem like the episode was written to be both a season finale and a series finale, just in case.

given that the series will jump to 1964, they couldn't really leave stuff hanging so much.That said, a faithful Don Draper sould be a snooze-fest....
