it's the right thing to do

animal planet will be running "Mad Dogs": dozens of rabid puppies wearing character-specific 70's period clothing mauling one another in an oversized McCann Ericksonn diorama

Harry goes on rampage with Pete's gun

maybe we won't find out what happens with pete's gun until the pete's gun spinoff

Pete becomes The Punisher.

Prequel: "Better Call Sal"

Not These Days. Nico's The End.

They did introduce Pete's gun in the first act

Is it on now? Just so I know not to read this thread until I see it!

No, not for another half hour

Cheers mh

Speaking of which, it's Victoria Day here, so unless I wait an extra hour or two and watch the re-broadcast, I'll be accompanied by the non-stop sound of fireworks.

"...I hope that the entire series won't be judged by five minutes at the end." Uh-oh!

Yep, fireworks here near the Bramalea City Centre xpost

In the midst of some last-minute song-guessing on Facebook, I've got to quote a friend: "Whatever it is, I can guarantee you one thing: we will never again agree on anything as we agreed on Judy Collins."

That Billboard piece seems to make it clear that it ends with Don, something I was leaning towards but not assuming. (Set in place four years ago--wow.)

I got it. Just saw the scene where Sally reads Betty's letter. Show's gonna end on Sally and the music is Different Drum, Mike Nesmith's 1972 version.

"I translated your speech into pig Latin."

"That was a joke!"

Meredith had the best line: "There are lots of places better than here."

The person already in the room knows Don, maybe even Diane.

Shortest notice prediction ever.

RONG

oh lord Draper in an ashram

I know, I know, it's serious.

Steggy!!

I suppose this is how it must end, Draper participating in one of the worst contribution to mass culture: the rap session.

last song prediciton: theme from "Love Story"

Oh. No.

Did I just watch this

I win the Internet.

Just came on to congratulate you!

Well, the final couple of minutes there were Lost finale bad.

haha oh dear

I think it would have been nice to end on the guy's refrigerator speech. Don's embrace wasn't necessary. The montage was sort of nice and very ordinary; I did like that Roger was still getting off good lines till the end. The ending will greatly amuse some girls in my class who were doing exactly the same thing in the hallway earlier this year. They could have thought that through a bit more. (Lots of Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice echoes.)

xp please. the Lost finale comparisons should be reserved for things that are truly horrible. this wasn't.

i was like nope without the coke ad but with the ad i think it's kind of amazing (not sure if good or bad)
all this new age stuff just becomes yet another way to sell you things. draper or someone else in nyc figures this out pretty quick
nama$te etc

Didn't realize I wanted Steggy to happen until it did.

This was just forgettable.

(Lots of Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice echoes.)

That's what I first thought of when I saw Don at the retreat.

I loved all the Halloween cats on The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife.

I'm with JF--it was okay. Saw the word "outraged" on Facebook within 30 seconds...I guess there'll be a lot of that, but really.

I think it would have been nice to end on the guy's refrigerator speech. Don's embrace wasn't necessary.

Disagree. How many times has Don had life epiphanies, but in isolation? Embracing Leonard signaled something about this one being different imo.

that's a generous reading...

After all that D.B. Cooper stuff, I had the sudden thought at one point that Don becomes est's Werner Erhard (which I just checked--it started in '71).

i can't think they weren't smart enough to intend that those happy endings for everyone came off as too sentimental and too much but they really sold it. and coke

the epiphany was one more story that's going to make a great commercial sometime in the near future, i thought that was the point

xp I would rather Don's embrace have been his last scene and not the morning meditation thing, but it's not a huge complaint.

Or Don discovers his true self and ... he's an ad man! Gets home refreshed, sits in on the Coke meeting and says, "Picture a bluff, overlooking the ocean ..."

Finale overall was gloopier than I expected. It was OK. Lots of better episodes this season.

Slightly disappointed that Harris-Olson didn't happen, but y'know...real world.

lots of people seem to think it was implied Don went back to McCann and made the coke ad, but that doesn't make sense. Don has never been responsible for an actual, historical ad before, why start now? i dont think that was the implication at all.

that is, there's not a *literal* relationship between the coke ad and don's epiphany.
