I could have sworn there was a Mad Men thread already? oh well.
I just recently got into/caught up with this show and holy crap I love it. It took a while to get really rolling but once it did I couldn't wait to watch the next ep.
I HATE Betty. Not a knock on January Jones because she plays her perfectly I just can't stand her. The only interesting things she's ever done are shoot those birds for her kids and bang that random guy at a bar. Both her and Don are pieces of shit but at least Don is interesting.
Peggy is basically the best character on this show (imo,obvs).

I have the first series of this on DVD and I love it, but I never get around to watching it when I want to. It's great though.

I haven't started watching yet but my sister usually wraps up the major points for me for some reason. She hasn't seen last night's yet but I'm sure I'll hear about it when she does, hahah.

Worst/Best season finale ever? I'm so confused/enraged! Dude, worst episode ever. The dialogue was totally unfleshed out, the storytelling felt lazy and rushed and the entire show felt out of character. It was like Bizarro Mad Men in which everyone is happy. No one's fucking happy in Mad Men! And there was like, nooo indication that any of this was coming down the pipeline! Honestly, the whole episode had this weird, dreamlike feeling for me. It was almost like Matt Weiner just threw his hands in the air and decided he was tired of writing for this show or something. I guess that more encounters with Megan were to be expected, but this was ridiculous. I'm keeping in mind what Henry told Betty about there not really being fresh starts in life and hoping that this is applicable to Don. I mean, the legacy of that ring alone is enough for me to imagine that this is going to ultimately be a loveless marriage. The fact that he's entering in to another one without telling Megan about his past is such a regression from the positive trajectory he had in the last few episodes. And I wa never even a fan of Faye, but good God, I find Megan to be the most irritating person on the show besides Jane Seigel. (connection? Yeah.) The only tolerable parts to me were the scene of Joan and Peggy bitching at the end, and the conversation between Betty and Don at the house. Both of those felt very, very real given the situation.

Honestly, the whole episode had this weird, dreamlike feeling for me. Same here. So much so that I thought someone would wake up in the end and we'd find out it was all a dream- cheesy as it is. Guess we'll find out next season.

Yeah, Roger is a tool. As is Harry. And Don.
Just give me Joan and Peggy and Megan and Lane and shit will be fine. Also the kooky old dude with the beard. I'm quite fond of him.
I hope the riots and protests lead to actual POC characters rather than just a never ending stream of gross racism/racist jokes.

I love that Pete has become the only positive male character on the show. He's the only one who isn't (as) racist and the only one who cares about the job. Really though, I just love Pete.

I like that it's sort of normal, though, just people doing their everyday thing. I watched Nip/Tuck at the same as this and every single episode was packed with ridiculous plots so it was nice having something on the complete end of the spectrum.
That said, if anybody were to ask me how an episode of Mad Men went it wouldn't be all that exciting to recap hahhaha. 'Well you see, Pete really wanted a new office..'
