feel like the "what is happiness? it's just the moment before you want more happiness" line is kind of a major signpost for where Don is going next season

I don't think they've said yet, but hopefully they'll keep going with the spring season so I don't have to wait over a year for new eps.

I think AMC is sticking w/spring rollouts for this show from here on out. I just hope they don't split the last season into halves like Breaking Bad.

It's not as plot intensive/obsessed with tying up loose ends as BB, so you'd think a thirteen ep final season should be fine.

fat betty was amazing. i think the scene where she goes to sneak a little whipped cream from the fridge, aerosols it into her mouth, gets disgusted with herself and spits it out in the sink is maybe the best scene in the entire series

Fat Betty was solid, I thought. Better than hiding the pregnancy by holding bags and pots of flowers or what have you.

Accidentally posted some stuff about the first few episodes on the Season 4 thread...Finished last night. The last three episodes were very dark--convincingly so. (Peggy quitting, Joan's partnership, Lane.) Arguments between Don and Megan aren't as interesting as arguments between Don and Betty. Kinsey's return was less than what I'd hoped for. Sally and Greg continue to be compelling. There was a scene that I thought might have been the worst yet: Don's meeting with Dow chemical, where he tries to rah-rah them into wanting 100%. (I would think any client would have laughed him out of the room, yet even Leland Palmer seemed impressed.) Loved Peggy's little smile at the elevator as "You Really Got Me" started up at the end of the one episode--resurrected the song for me. The Lovin' Spoonful were great too; didn't know "Butchie's Tune" at all, had to look it up.
"Tomorrow Never Knows" was, of course, spectacular. I really regret not following the show when that first aired. (Hearing about it was possibly the first thing that made me decide I had to watch the show eventually.) I'd looked briefly at a YouTube clip already, but the sound was low, and I didn't know any of the context. "When did music suddenly become so important?"--that set everything up. I think Don meant the question purely in an advertising context, but the Beatles answered it in a much deeper way.
And Roger. If I could have chosen anybody to drop acid, he would have been my first choice by far. The way he asked Megan's mom "Would you take LSD with me?", he was like a little kid on Christmas morning. And the final shot of him naked at the window was brilliant.

aw c'mon this episode was incredible. the star trek script! Harry unable to resist the sexual wiles of hippie chick!
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 17:23 (nine years ago) link
I don't know, I just didn't care for him in that guise. I liked the woman, and I thought Harry's gesture of sending him off to California with $500 was one of his better moments.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 17:56 (nine years ago) link
Kinsey being a Hare Krishna is one of the best jokes the series has ever done.

Buried in one of the episodes was one of my favorite lines yet (Roger, of course): "Joan wanted to have baby...I figured, why do that to anybody?"

I generally hate Harry, such a schmuck, but agree about this bit
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 18:43 (nine years ago) link
harry's an interested character, like you can see him morph over the seasons from this somewhat put-upon nice guy to this careerist slickster who at his core remains a nice guy, but he's covering it up with this strained douchebaggery, like this effort at being a don or a roger but only copying their worst surface qualities that he's learned from their nights out or something, but never developing as he's aged their genuinely decent qualities. and i like how his success is happening in the background and everyone is missing the boat he seems to have caught. he's basically the type of guy who runs listicle sites in the 21st century.
― LIKE If you are against racism (omar little), Tuesday, 13 January 2015 18:46 (nine years ago) link
he's not a nice guy
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 18:48 (nine years ago) link
well he started off as one but the thing is that core of a nice guy is shrinking rapidly with every season and now he's becoming more and more this empty douchebag, but in the first season or two he was a "nice guy" but in the way we talk about those creepy indie rock nice guys who end up being assholes. seems to me he wasn't exactly a natural asshole, he has decided to become one.

just recalling that Wire-style montage at the end of Season 5; that was great. actually i wonder if it's fair to say The Wire 'invented' that particular style of montage at the end of seasons of TV, sorta feels like they did.
― piscesx, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 19:17 (nine years ago) link
"Butchie's Tune" is an old favorite that I didn't realize anyone else cared about, it put that episode over the top for me, totally devastating.
― JoeStork, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 19:22 (nine years ago) link
I go back and forth on Harry. He's been rotten at times, other times an okay guy just trying to do his job.
I was playing "Butchie's Tune" in class, found the whole scene posted.

Glen really deserves a spin-off show. Once an episode at a key moment, he'll turn to the camera, smile, and deliver his beloved "See? It all turns to crap" catchphrase.

so, is it me or does this show skip almost the entirety of 1967?
Season 5 ends a few months after Christmas 1966 - Lane forges the check around Xmas and then a couple episodes later he's dead. The last episode seems to take place in maybe spring of '67?
And then when season 6 starts I think we're already in 1968?
