Exactly, and out comes someone who twists a simple observation and a word, only to waste three pages of this thread about a none relevant argument.

Ghosts aren't supernatural? There are more posts pondering if Diana is a ghost than there are of people responding to my criticism...
I mean, it's like, way to miss the point of what Diana is and represents.

No one is saying ghost or supernatural. Jesus. If anyone used the word 'ghost' I'm sure they're implying it's a hallucination.
In any case, the whole theory is dumb anyway. She's real. What's definitely true is she embodies all of the integral women in Don's life one way or another.

I agree with this, and I hope that Weiner does as well. There have definitely been echoes of other characters in her (Rachel, Megan, Sylvia) but come on, Don just like sleeping with people. He's drawn to her now, but it'll fade over time like it always does.

I don't think she represents Betty because Don knows she's still part of his life, given that they've got kids together and all.
I think people are looking way too hard for something to neatly wrap everything up and provide closure.

Actually a lot of that even the actors and directors agree is there:

That is just stupid. Elizabeth Reaser isn't ugly, but Don has dated models and the like. He has an entire hot secretary pool at his disposal. Diana doesn't beat them in the looks department.

I keep getting the feeling that Diana reminds Don of his mother without him realizing it, though the more we go the less likely that seems.
Also where the hell is Sally? And is Alison Brie not returning anymore?

I'm sure they'll show up at some point before it's over.

The funny thing is that Betty is far and away the hottest woman Don has ever been with on the show.

Sally will for sure, I don't know about Alison though. Her role seems played out and there's barely been any focus on Pete either, the closer we get to the end the more they'll focus on the main characters.

I don't agree. But I generally prefer Brunettes over Blondes. So I kind of like all of his mistresses more than Betty. Suzanne Farrell, Sally's teacher, is the best, but I find Megan really attractive too.
Agreed. Megan is second imo.
Are you only allowed to be attracted to a woman if they're the single hottest woman you've ever met?
fake edit: had no idea people were hating these last two episodes at all.

I think Rachel was seriously in the running, too. And her personality makes her 1000x better on top of that.
No, I just disagree with the notion it is 'obvious beauty' that is attracting Don considering he has been dating models since day one, and he has married two women that are more beautiful, each proving themselves too little for him. He knows what going for obvious beauty leads him too: two divorces.

I don't get this new waitress relationship of Don's. I feel like shouting "WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS SEASON 2 SHIT!"

Yes, I agree. Betty is boring to me.

Oh man...Sally's teacher was probably the prettiest of all them. I forgot about her.

You're a big guy.
Is this the Mad Men equivalent of the horrible waifu conversations?
Roger seemed really off this episode. It was like his performance was slightly off-kilter. Hard to describe, but when he was stood there with the half buttoned waistcoat it felt almost like a bad attempt at straight comedy. It was weird and out of place.

Well that makes sense. Roger himself likely felt weird and out of place in the apartment. Weiner da gawd.
I know, not really what you meant :lol

See that thought crossed my mind. Mad Men's been so good it is hard to perceive missteps.

Brilliant as ever.
I love this show but I feel that the year wait in between the first 7 episodes and these has really hurt my enjoyment. I haven't read most of the thread since I watch the episodes late (just watched Sunday's ep just now) but I saw someone mention this season feeling "disconnected." This reflects how I see it.
I've enjoyed the first two episodes but I feel like I'm missing something. Maybe it is the lack of overarching story that makes it seem so jumpy. It's like the entire episodes feel like the previews: neat scenes that don't really say anything. It probably would have helped if I had watched the marathon of season 7 immediately before this season.
I look forward to the end of the season and my immediate rewatch with no breaks. Perhaps it will feel different, or perhaps the next few episodes will change my mind.

Another point I wanted to make regarding Don vs. Megan is actually the exchange Don has with Roger.
Roger predicts what Megan would say almost to a tee. And Roger tells Don to fight her every step of the way. That no matter what she says, Don gave her a great life.
I felt that Don turning the corner and writing out a check for $1M was his way of not being like Roger. They've had a lot differences, professional and personal. And while there is respect between the two, Don also knows how much of a fuck up Roger could be. And that he knows Roger is and was wrong for leaving his wife for Jane and ruining his family as a result, ruining his only child, and as a consequence her joining a cult.

While the baby itself has not been a major player in the series, Peggy and Pete's weird psuedo-romance has. Pete, to Peggy, now represents a life she thought she could have but now realizes was foolishness.
