Joan is very alluring. She is very beautiful and her personality is also attractive.
I think the theme of this storyline is that people repeat what they did in the past. They can't help themselves. My problem with it is that I don't think it was executed well.

He went hunting with the GM people when he was handling their account. He was accidentally shot in the eye.
Okay, yes, I remember now. Barely.
WTH? Where is my memory going!
This was an interesting episode. It felt a bit like a parody of past episodes where they did mergers/company splits. The point of this was that Don doesn't have the mojo he once had.
The series finale is this Sunday. AMC is doing a marathon showing every episode starting Wednesday. I might watch a few.

I noticed they had a marathon on this weekend - I started watching it and it was not bad - it was hard to watch all the smoking going on - reminded me of my childhood!Anyone been watching the current season?
What a great series finale. I will definitely miss this show.
It was absolutely brilliant. Especially that ending. Well done, Matthew Weiner and to the whole cast and crew!
It's funny -- I've watched this show from the beginning, but I've never been completely absorbed by it. It has had its moments, but on the whole if Don had leapt from that cliff at the end, it wouldn't have made any difference to me!
I was very disappointed with the ending. I'll have to sit back and think about it for a while.
It's not that I didn't like it per se. And I honestly wasn't expecting some big overdone ending either. That wouldn't have been true to the show. I just don't know that I bought Don's ending. I absolutely didn't expect him to rush home and all of a sudden become this stand up dad and ex husband, but this "I'm okay, you're okay" ending didn't ring true to me.
The other character's endings were acceptable. The one that rang the truest for me was Betty and Sally's final scene together. That right there showed the death of not only Betty (future), but of Sally's childhood. Her innocence as a child is forever gone. Poof.
I absolutely hated that Joan was just a set of boobs for the most part the whole entire time (some men finally saw her for the smart, capable woman she was, but not her bedroom partners); I am glad that she saw more for herself and wasn't afraid to go get it. Her strength just grew and grew the whole series.
Honestly, I think what ruined it the most for me is something my son told me was one of the rumors on the internet. That Don Draper was going to end up being D.B. Cooper. I fell in love with that idea and just couldn't shake it, so the zen ommmmm just wasn't Don. And maybe that's the point. This was a whole journey to his enlightenment.

The reason I bought it was because that other man who broke down at the group therapy session felt the same way Don did and they were the exact opposite in terms or personality and status. That man who broke down had a family and never left them, and it still wasn't enough to make him happy. He also seemed like a push over, which Don was not. Even though they were opposites, Don realized that the perception of his situation was what made him feel bad. He can connect to people and be happy, he just has to let himself do so and stop running away.
Perhaps it was rushed, but I thought it was effective. I thought he was going to kill himself for a while, but that man in the group meeting connected with him.

I thought Stan and Peggy's scene was great. There was this authentic tension and their relationship made sense looking back.

The sexism of her environment was a big part of it. She doesn't know how to navigate these corporate settings like Peggy, but she found herself.

What I liked about this show was that I had no idea where this was heading. I had no preconceived notions because this show was so fluid.
I never thought of Mad Men as a show about where these people end up. I never paid much attention to Megan joining Charles Manson or Don jumping out a window. Mad Men wasn't that type of show.

The general consensus is that Don had his zen moment and
used this inspiration to create the Coke commercial. One of the young women in that commercial bears a strong resemblance (including her braids) to the woman at the retreat.
Yes,
i saw that and I agree that he probably had his biggest career achievement with that. So, that is good to think that the selling of material things came from a good place in him. A more honest place.
