wait
I don't really speak tv behind-the-scenes --- what does 'consulting producer' entail exactly?

From what I gather as someone who just reads websites and stuff, titles like that vary from show to show and may be based on the terms of one's contract more than one's actual duties. It looks like everyone who's been a consulting producer on Mad Men has also been part of the writing room, and most have been credited with writing (or cowriting) at least one episode.

predict MW will give himself two writing credits on every episode

partially-ordered season rankings:
3 > {1,2,4,5,6}
2 < {1,3,4,5,6}
4 > 5?
I dunno.

this last season i thought was incredible, kind of haunting. once i felt the particular rhythms of where it was going i plowed through it.

we might know when we see photos but this is matthew weiner, dude probably wouldn't confirm don draper will be on the show this season if directly asked. i kinda like having no idea (well little idea) what this show is gonna be like when we come back.

I'm really starting to buy the DB Cooper idea. I mean how hard would it have been for Matt Weiner to say "DB Cooper! We know how that story ended, but how did it begin?" and then work his way 11 years backwards.

I think I'd actually be disappointed if that's what happens, but speculation is half the fun of the show (or, as with the case of LOST, all the fun of the show).

I didn't really follow that show after the initital season, but I made sure to watch the finale since I'd heard it has some Esalen/Nepethe/Big Sur thing going on, I wanted to see how they handled it
