Mad Men (AMC) - Page 7

Nothing great by Mad Men's standards but still a good episode. Really just setting things up for the final 2 episodes this season. I think Don will eventually go to Megan. That is really all I can come up with on this episode.

So Don finally had his Jerry Maguire moment. Is there a company that had a huge campaign in the mid 60s that Don can lead? Will Conrad Hilton be so impressed by the ad that he comes back to the firm? Something has to happen. Also will Peggy get her wish in renaming the firm or is Cooper just caught up in the heat of the moment?

Please never again mention that crap 1990's movie character in the same sentence as Don Draper.

Good guess. In hindsight it seems like the obvious thing as she was pretty supportive of him and what he does. Then it became even more obvious when she Jedi mind tricked the whole table after the kids spilled the milkshake. She is so anti-Betty that Don can't help but feel good around her.

Even so the finale was a stinker. We missed great opportunities at further developing Peggy and Pete. Instead Peggy is slowly falling into the jealous/envy/worry type person as once again she let her feelings be known that she isn't confident in her place at the office even though Don has seemingly been even more open with her and her progress.

I don't think it has anything to do with her place in the office as much as it does that she's in love with Don. Which to me is a lot different than jealous/envy/worry.

Especially when Don tells her that Megan reminds him of Peggy. Ouch.

I don't think Peggy is in love with Don. She had her chance. I think it is more upset that she worked so hard to get where she is and then Don goes and gets engaged to someone who wants the same things and will probably just get promoted.

I thought this finale was pretty solid. To me the best part was when Joan and Peggy finally get together. Those two are the same person yet have never had a chance to bond. I think an episode centered on the two of them would be outstanding.

Also the more and more I think about it I like the fact that a big company didn't come save the day and instead they get a tiny account. You could see the happiness on Don's face when Ken and Peggy told him about it. This was also a great episode for Ken in general. His little remark about how he isn't Pete was great.

As for developing Pete and Peggy that will happen next season. I will guarantee you that. Joan is in the same situation that Peggy was back in season 1. When Roger starts making trouble (because you know he will) I assume Peggy will let something slip. We know Pete still has feelings for her.

Next season won't start until March 2012. That's a 1.5 year hiatus for those keeping track.

I just caught up on seasons 2-4.

Here's the biggest problem DD will be facing in S4: The good doctor knows his secret, and Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

The made a point in the last couple of episodes to let her feelings known that she thinks Don should negotiate a "come-clean" strategy; I think she's going to threaten to blow the lid off his deep cover.

saw Jon Hamm and Elizabeth Moss out at the bar last night... my friend, this gorgeous blonde model was trying to ask him if he'd take a picture with my friend Meghan for her birthday, but before she could, they started talking about Boston... and that he had made a film in Boston... to which she replied "oh yeah... i saw that one. it wasn't bad." he then put out his cigarette, said good night and walked away.

HOLLYWOOD!!!!

I know it's type-casting, but when I see this in my head he's wearing a 1960's suit with his hair slicked back.
