was just scanning the death wish thread and maybe they should consider taking the show in that direction.

no-one seems to have mentioned that the guy Megan was dancing with looked a bit like Manson so i'm guessing that means it definitely wasn't meant to be him.

more kinda fascinating/ kinda lol Manson connection stuff herehttp://uproxx.com/tv/2014/05/matthew-weiner-is-still-trolling-mad-men-theorists-with-even-more-charles-manson-allusions/
to wit:
In last night’s episode, we also see that Stephanie is 7 months pregnant, and she mentions to Megan that the father is a musician she met in the Bay Area who spent some time in jail. This describes Charles Manson (a musician who lived in the Bay Area who was arrested in 1968 for possession) perfectly. This doesn’t fit the timeline exactly, but interestingly, Charles Manson did rape and impregnate a woman in 1967.

Even though Pete Campbell is gross, I did get a nice feeling with the three of them sitting at a table together.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 19 May 2014 03:12 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, me too. Also the Don/Peggy brainstorming and dance scene. Thought this was the best episode of the season -- it had more of the stuff I like about Mad Men, less of the stuff I'm tired of.
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Monday, 19 May 2014 11:29 (nine years ago) link
I didn't...like the dance scene? Their relationship is too poisoned to support such a scene. She just endured another series of humiliations because men in power won't take her seriously, so now she has a tacit reconciliation with her former mentor? I didn't buy it.
Otherwise, yes, a good episode.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 19 May 2014 13:48 (nine years ago) link
the dance was sweet and tender--they've worked together for a long time.
def. best ep. of the season
so what happens next?
don, peggy, pete kill the burger chef presentation
roger gets chevy
cutler gets philip morris
don, peggy, pete, roger start a new agency?
megan and pete's g.f. die on the plane when godzilla eats it?

also she has zero love in her life, and is def. searching for it

I liked Don and Peggy. Of course I wanted a confrontation between them, I always want the blatant exposition "Don, they don't trust me, you're undermining me!" but I'm glad they're not that obvious. When Peggy said "what would you do" and Don said "first I abuse the people's whose help I need", that was such a good line, cleared up years of baggage between the two. In one simple phrase Don acknowledges both how difficult a boss he was and how important she was, and how the rolls are reversed here and allowed it to be ok.
A bit soap-opera-y though, back to back with Joan's "I don't want a beard I want love!" and peggy's "what have I done wrong". Then Don's stark acknolwedgement "haven't done anything or have anybody). Both Don and Peggy did it their way, the only way they know how, and they're both unhappy and that's the series. I've been waiting all season for this because the history of the show has always seemed to be about Don and Peggy so for them to finally come back together in this context I think is getting us set-up for the final episodes.
Don peggy and pete definitely had a bit of that "get the band back together" vibe.
― dan selzer, Monday, 19 May 2014 14:16 (nine years ago) link
love this exchange:
Pete: "Don will give authority, you will give emotion." Peggy: "Don has emotion. I have authority."
― Roz, Monday, 19 May 2014 15:19 (nine years ago) link
I saw the Don and Peggy dance scene as an answer to her question "what did I do wrong?" You fell in love with advertising/an image/an idealized projection as personified by Don (who, as pointed out, is also not happy).
The closing shot with the 50s nuclear family replaced by a corporate chain restaurant facsimile was amazing

was surprised by the reappearance of Bob but this was a great way to close out his character arc - that short early opening scene with Joan and her mom and Kevin telegraphed that something about her domestic situation was on the horizon and then when Bob showed up I immediately thought "oh no he's going to make a bid for Joan to be his beard", the whole actual scene of which was just heartbreaking to watch, so well done.
