I think there are some other MAD MEN fans on this board, correct? 

O..M..G - was this last episode a winner or what?  I was literally glued to every word, every glance.  I was thrilled to see the wheels getting in motion to start the new company.  I love all the players involved, and was really thrilled to see Joan walking in the door.  You just KNEW that was who Roger was going to call.

Peggy and Pete were terrific - really strutting their stuff ego-wise - but it was backed up by what they had proven to the company over the past few years.  I especially loved Robert Morse in this episode - he was hilarious!

By contrast, the Draper kids, Sally & Bobby, were heart-breaking; the sad true picture of innocents in a divorce. 

What a season-ender.  How do I wait till next season?

I just finally saw it, great show. I am so sad, the season is so short!!

The kids were so sad! Betty so cold, tho she let out a tear. Then the end, Betty and that man and the baby going to Reno. I hope he treats he good, he is old and not as good looking as Don!

Glad Don had to eat some crow, re: Pete and Peggy.

Glad Roger called Joan back yeah! and about Joan, it is so nice to see a full figure woman so sexy! Thats the Marilyn Monroe of those days, not the way too skinny models we see on all the magazine cover.

I loved how the rest of the staff at the company were so shocked!!
I will miss it, Aug. is a long, long way off!!

I agree with all you said. Morse being in control was a nice surprise. Roger calling Joan....Pete and Peggy holding strong and not letting go of what they want and need...Price (I think that's his name) screwing those that screwed him first (lol).

The Don and Betty scenes were fantastic. I couldn't believe him grabbing her like that. I was happy that's all he did (and shows he's not a violent person) and hoped that maybe it'd shake some sense into her. She has every right to be hurt and if she doesn't love him she has every right to divorce. Those poor kids. Sally already shows signs of problems this divorce will only make them worse. Felt bad for the son. Then there she was on the plane with her new, husband (to be?).

That said I think Don Draper is happiest when things run swimmingly at work. That appeared to be a genuine happy smile when he walked in at the end. Sad when he left going to the apartment but he's a survivor (been through much worse).

Looking forward to the next season and bummed that this one is over. Anyone have any idea how long the wait is?

    Could this show get any better? YES!! The finale of the season was one of the best. Did anyone notice that Betty Draper never never hugs her kids? She just sends them upstairs all the time. She is one cold cookie! Very robotic in her speech, walk, talk, everything she does seems so calculated. I don't believe she has ever laughed. The odd smile but I don't recall many of those either.
    The new company is going to be great. I hope they don't move the show ahead five years. I'm just sorry the show is over for the year. 13 episodes. What a bummer!

  • Yes I've mentioned it somewhere. I've never met kids like that no matter what is going on in the house. My kids were that age at that time and I knew other mothers none spoke the their kids so little.'' Go upstairs'' ''Go to bed.'' Very unrelistic. I liked everyone else last night but the Drapers. Don manandling his wife calling her wh--- when he's slept with anything with a pulse? He may look good in a suit but he's a mutt. But other than that...LOL, it still is the best show on and I am eager to see how the company works next season.
