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?
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?
