JJ looks amazing when she smiles *swoon*
I rewatched the entire season last week.Is anyone else rewatching episodes before the premiere on Sunday? I figure I'll at least rewatch the last two from S6.
I watched The Doorway the other night, and I'll for sure watch the last one before Sunday night, maybe the last two.Is anyone else rewatching episodes before the premiere on Sunday? I figure I'll at least rewatch the last two from S6.
Yeah as always Andy is an interesting read. It really is kind of a last of its breed show that isn't offering big plot movements, climaxs, and resolutions.People are going to hate the Mad Men finale. There will be no big finale. No death, or explosions. Maybe a firing, or someone leaving SC&P. Maybe I'm going to sound like an old man here, but it seems like the only way for a TV show to have relevance is to have big mysteries or big explosions. (Maybe it has always been like that) I don't see a show like Mad Men (one that is that big) coming around again. The closest show I can find is maybe Orange is the New Black or maybe Masters of Sex, but outside of critics I doubt anyone knows those shows even exist.
A "slow burner" is a dying breed, IMO.

I'm sure Man Men will stick the landing and people will love it. This is not a show that attracts the mainstream crowd like Sopranos/BB.People are going to hate the Mad Men finale.

I mean hell, if a show dares to have a slow episode that's not pulling the main plot full throttle (BB's Fly, S4 Walking Deads, HoC's military academy episode) fans bitch and moan about "filler" episodes. What most TV viewers call "filler" episodes are probably 80% of MM episodes, and some of the best ones.
Nope. Just one hour.Didn't see anything in the OP, but is the premiere 2 hours like the last couple?
- Buzzfeed: 58 Things To Remember From The "Mad Men" Season 6 FinaleThe first episode of Mad Mens final season is an outstanding installment, offering up new beginnings for several of Sterling Cooper & Partners employees while pushing the series inexorably towards its ultimate end.
The Hershey speech really is the Ying to The Wheel speech's Yang. The one where Don is about as candid and honest and sincere as we've seen him goes over like a cinder block and pretty much costs him his job, while the speech where he's playing up to the facade of this ideal family life has the entire room in tears and lands the account immediately. Showing Don being vehemently against Megan setting up The Wheel to show slides of their vacation was a nice touch.
Nope. Just one hour.

Yeah, I was re-watching the season 1 finale and that totally forgot about that got me, also the fantasy scene gut-punch at the end.where Don comes home to triumphantly announce he is coming with them followed by cheers from the kids, only to reveal that was just his fantasy
Even when the characters seem to be moving toward some unspecified axis leading to happiness, their progress is agonizingly slow, as if theyre walking in high wind. Weve invested in them, and sometimes the dividends seem puny. But still we watch. At least, we masochists who dont care about likability or happy endings watch. Its not a self-help guide. But there is some value in Mad Mens spectacle of misbehavior. The show has nothing to teach us. Its just being honest about the truths people discover and then disregard, and the lies they tell themselves, as history moves around them. Theyre doing the best they can.
Jesus, I'm surprised AMC didn't give us only an episode a year.

Its been nearly a year since the last new episode of Mad Men, and you could use a refresher. And for those whove never seen the show and need a crash course before this Sundays season-seven premiere, weve starred the series 13 greatest episodes.
The only person I see having a happy ending in Madmen is Peggy.... maybe Joan.

I'm rewatching "The Flood." Rizzo laughing at the crazy client's Tecumseh tangent is the best.

Anyone who denies Stan being the best character is just a fool.
I can't see anyone having a "happy ending".
I expect most characters arcs will end with them still struggling with the issues they always struggled with.
Anyone who denies Stan being the best character is just a fool.
The best character on the show is in that GIF, but he ain't Stan.
Say what you want about Season 5 overall, but the ending scene ("You Only Live Twice") is definitely among the best of the entire show in my opinion.

strange, I don't see Bob anywhere in that gif
