Don's clearly headed for the west coast. Joan's new beau chiefly lives there. Being across the country might mitigate the non-compete. This show is gonna end in California imo (maybe).

In fact, the print on Cooper's wall could not possibly be an original or real as the original by Hokusai was printed in a Manga (book) which would have been octavo in size as was common for Shunga and a good way to keep it out of sight. As is evident from the show, Cooper's is a very large reproduction for dramatic effect. The original, depending on the condition of the book, might sell anywhere from $800-5000. Other Shunga prints at auction, like other Ukiyo-e prints, can be obtained for under $100 or in the low hundreds with few exceptional pieces in the thousands of dollar range.

which is why the tech industry collusion stuff is such a big deal!
ok now I see this exception:"Any partner may, upon or in anticipation of a dissolution of the partnership ordissociation of a partner from a partnership, agree that he or she will not carry on a similar business within a specified geographic area where the partnership business has been transacted, so long as any other member of the partnership, carries on a like business therein."
so I don't know how that affects it

last episode will be a legal drama about the enforcement of the noncompete in california, with a young cast of hotshot lawyers hired by don working to break the contract.
if things go well they'll spinoff the lawyers into a new show "legal men"

would love it if the next episode is a stand alone about Pete's troubled child. like just sixty minutes about pete being a dad.and then the final episode is all about new minority hire Jimmy Smits at McCann. How will he fit in? Fade to black.

Picasso painted his own version in 1903 that has been shown next to Hokusai's original in exhibits on the influence of 19th-century Japanese art on Picasso's work.

I like Megan, which is why I don't want to see her anymore -- I want her to be off in Cali, living large and sleeping with David Crosby or whatever they did in Laurel Canyon in those days.

I found her really grating but she served her narrative purpose (they had to have *somebody* embody the late-60s swinging sexiness and childlike naivete)

I liked to think that Megan ended up in the Mad Dogs and Englishman menagerie and had a torrid affair with Bobby Keys, but the timeline for this season doesn't allow for that.

I'm not sure when this season wrapped filming, but it looks like Jessica Paré recently had a baby. Might be related to her character's quick exit?

Really surprised by that Carnival Of Souls stuff. The car scenes reminded me of it before Peggy's organ scene. If only Bert's face appeared at the car window instead of him in the car.
When Don rubbed Betty's shoulders and talked about possible love interests I assumed that was a sign that he still occasionally has sex with her. Anyone else?

Yeah, she laughed and said (maybe after he's mentioned another woman, think it was fiancee Megan)something like, "Having sex is *not* the way to get close to you." So if they do, it's just something that happens occasionally, no biggie. The kitchen scene is another reminder of how superfluous he's getting to be. (A woman who knew Roger in Paris before the War recalled, "You seemed like a minor character in your own life.")Another good Fresh Air interview with Weiner, and Gross plays some very early excerpts that connect with recent scenes in ways I didn't expect (stream, dl, transcript)http://www.npr.org/2015/05/07/404904172/mad-men-creator-on-don-drapers-losses-and-the-end-of-the-road Kinda wished they'd waited a few more weeks, but he'll be back at some point.
