Come to think of it, how has Jimmy Smits never been on Mad Men? Jimmy Smits is on every tv show.

c'mon, there's not going to be any new enterprise for either joan or don, advertising or not. are we watching the same show here?
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Wednesday, 6 May 2015 18:21 (nine years ago) link
We are. Speculating wildly is just a tactic to kill time between episodes.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 6 May 2015 18:26 (nine years ago) link
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.

Probably. A $1M check and a goodbye on amicable terms.

i will sorta miss megan, i think i might be one of the only staunch megan supporters tho

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.

yeah i liked Megan big time.
― piscesx, Thursday, 7 May 2015 19:48 (nine years ago) link
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)
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 7 May 2015 19:52 (nine years ago) link
megan was hot, big teeth and everything
― akm, Thursday, 7 May 2015 20:18 (nine years ago) link
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 really liked megan, esp her teeth and the way she talkedshe was always fun to watch

i would fantasy cast her in a bunch of hammer movies
― Florianne Fracke (La Lechera), Thursday, 7 May 2015 20:28 (nine years ago) link
can we talk s1ocki into making these movies, maybe he could pull some strings
― ultimate american sock (mh), Thursday, 7 May 2015 20:30 (nine years ago) link
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?
It looks like her child's father is a dreddy white man but that is another thread o_O

i liked megan, too. and to think, she could have had a decent career as a tv actress in new york if don hadn't pulled her out of her soap opera to move west.
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Thursday, 7 May 2015 20:54 (nine years ago) link
pretty much! it seemed really fortuitous that they were going to move, then the whole thing fell apart
― ultimate american sock (mh), Thursday, 7 May 2015 21:04 (nine years ago) link
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?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 8 May 2015 00:40 (nine years ago) link
no.

― ultimate american sock (mh), Friday, 8 May 2015 00:56 (nine years ago) link
no i think that one tryst they had post marriage was 'it' and nothing since.
― piscesx, Friday, 8 May 2015 01:11 (nine years ago) link
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.

Gold Rush would be great--I'd especially love it to be "Cripple Creek Ferry" or "Till the Morning Comes." Someone mentioned "Take It Easy" above; I could absolutely see that happening, especially if Don is headed for California, even though it would be far from my own choice.
The piece I mentioned a couple of days is posted now--my guesses, and Scott Woods' guesses, as to what that last song will be.

You love lots of early-'70s soul, and I still could see them ending that way--Stevie Wonder, say, or the Spinners.

But I got an emptiness deep insideAnd I've triedBut it won't let me goAnd I'm not a man who likes to swearBut I never caredFor the sound of being alone
"I am"... I saidTo no one thereAnd no one heard at allNot even the chair"I am"... I cried"I am"... said IAnd I am lost and I can'tEven say why"I am"... I said"I am"... I cried"I am"... I said
I was joking, but this is pretty on the nose!
