That's interesting, do you got a link to this interview, or at least some terms I could google to find it? I'd be interested in seeing that, but if that's true than yeah there's a good chance Don will come back.

I always felt that Betty was cold and not the greatest mother, but I can't say I didn't feel bad about her diagnosis last night.

Pretty funny that Pete is going to work for a private jet company considering his father died in a plane crash. I guess that's symbolism for him moving past his father's womanising ways or whatever.

What about Dick Drapeman?
I haven't seen a single episode but these character discussions (and I admit, the D.B. Cooper talk) have me interested. Is this show on netflix?

Don Draper finally makes it to California, and settles in the San Fernando Valley, where having completely shed what being Don Draper or Dick Whitman was or may have ever been... Don goes into porn as The Dickman

What he does now: schmooze with the corporate execs to get them to sign up for Lear jets.
He can use all those connections he's made as accounts man to sell them on why they need a private jet as a tool for business.

Don has to make his kids apart of his life more than ever now. It's the only way.

Sally's really come into her own now near the end of the series, even though I felt really bad for her having to take so much responsibility with Betty's medical development she can definitely handle it.
Ooh good connection. I like it as linking back to his father and acting as a symbol of his success where Don failed, for now at least. Don saw a plane and realized there was no way out and no way back to fix the past lives of his he'd ruined, Pete met a plane corp. and was able to escape McCann and resurrect a past life.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
I loved Sally's scene where she sat in the center dining table seat, which is usually where Betty sits.
And then she took baby Gene....and I just said to my wife "she's gonna grow up real quick".

Of course I want another Don/Peggy scene, but I just need an emotional Don/Sally scene. I need it.

Pete did the right thing, Trudy is the best.
Also reading recaps, that's now Anna, Rachel, and soon to be Betty who have died of cancer

This, I think, was the best Shirpka has ever been on this show. She absolutely sold that reaction, pitch perfect.

Just finished it. Pretty powerful.

Don Draper is Dr. Manhattan.

It was in a (iirc) late march issue of the New Yorker, in the talk of the town section. Dunno if they put it online sorry.

She was perfect in that scene, as was Henry. Like who even cares about Henry, and yet I felt so bad when he broke down. The way he reacts to the whole situation, you can really tell he loves Betty.
Mad Men has consistently excelled at getting the best out of its smaller supporting characters. Was glad to see Duck back one last time too.

I'm so happy for Pete that I have no confidence in the deal working out. I fear the people saying Pete has grown up the most are about to find out how naively boyish he still is. I hope it works out for him, but I have my doubts.
Who the fuck banks their hopes and dreams on something Duck Phillips is selling?

Final scene of Mad Men, flash forward several years, as young fresh faced soldier Bobby Draper watches his fellow officer die in a tragic fireball accident. Without fully understanding why, Bobby reaches down and swaps dog tags with Lieutenant Walter White.

Don't waste it.
Don channeling Captain Miller.

That was my fear the entire episode, but by the end it felt like they had wrapped up Pete's storyline so I'm not sure. I'll just assume it went well unless we're shown otherwise.
McCann got hosed big time, all that money for Ted and Harry.

What I find funny is how Don completely fucked Ted, selling him on that sales pitch to finally be able to do the creative he always wanted, helping Ted board that bullship, then bailing out as soon as Don sees the iceberg ahead.
I doubt we'll be seeing him again.

Ted seems pretty content overall with the way things are going now though.

I heard that the next episode sees Pete's airport-bound car make a stop at McCann where he heads up to give his formal resignation, only to come back down, exit the lobby and find Don's sidewalk-bound body to have made paste out of Trudy.

It's the horrifying image that allows Pete to see the potential in pursuing a Play-Doh account.

There is not enough talk about how great it was to see Duck again. He stole every scene he was in. And I see him stealing Peggy's heart - again! - in the season finale.
