THANK YOU Matt Weiner !
THANK YOU MATT WEINER, & everyone involved in this show. Just when I think it doesn't get any better than this, you roll out an episode like this.
I was cheering on the Sterling Cooper parts, crying during the divorce talk, & smiling ear-to-ear the entire hour. Matt, you & your team hit it out of the park tonight. You should be extremely proud.
And on specific notes ....
BURT - man, the look he gave Harry Crane when he said "... we'll have to lock you in the storeroom ... I'm sure you understand". That look was Emmy-worthy!
ROGER - I would follow you anywhere
PETE & PEGGY -- both know a little something about Don. Keep your friends close, you know ... Plus they are so fabulous to watch. I like Ken too, but Pete & Peggy are sheer joy. Plus with Pete we get Trudy - bless her Charleston & her sweet little sandwiches!
JOAN - love love LOVE that she's back! She is SO the woman who can put this new shop together. And for those late nights at the office, how about a little accordian!
SAL - will he come back, or will Lee Garner Jr have something to say about that? (did you catch Peggy's remark about "no art - there's nobody there"?)
BETTY - who knows is she & Henry will pan out. I like him, I don't blame her for leaving Don, though I do wish they'd get back together - at some point. As Roger put it, does Don value his relationship with his family, I wonder ....
And Don ... Don ... I thought maybe he'd killed his father. He was there, close enough. But there is still SO much more we don't know about him. I am loving these slow revelations. I've never enjoyed being in the dark this much, & somehow I think Matt & Co know that there is no one we'd rather be in the dark with.
And Peggy not getting Roger coffee ... Burt asking if people had washed their hands ... Lane making the leap with them (but what of his UK-loving wife?) ... I LOVE IT ALL. THANK YOU!!
Don mentioned to Rachel Menken in Season one after they make love in the wake of Roger's heart attack that his father was the town drunk who "got kicked in the head by a horse" when Don/Dick was 10.
Nicely done JimK!
I agree, Sharon. This was a very fine finale and I was sooo happy to see Joan on board. They gotta find Sal!!
@JMK: I think the controversey (from many posters) about young Dick was not that he killed his father with his own hand....but that he might have spooked the horse on purpose. Now we know what really happened. It was crushing to see him really worried about his lousy father (nasty gash on that face! Yikes!).
Fantastic show!
Loved it when Don came out of the bedroom to see everyone working hard in the main room. He took the time to make a snapshot in his mind, just as he did in the last episode of Betty and the kids in the kitchen.
And Lane, Lane! grows a pair. No more toadying to St. John or his other British masters. No matter how much his wife wants to go back to London, he won't be going. St. John goes ballistic, fires him and Lane's the proverbial "giddy as a schoolboy." Happy Christmas, Mr. Scrooge.
Great season! Thank you Matt Weiner and all the writers!
Having been fired recently by the British, this season has been especially meaningful to me :)
Cheers!
Yes, a fantastic season finale! So many great one-liners, my favorite was Pete, “I’m not really sick.” By the way, he is really cute without all that brylcream in his hair!
Is Dr. Harris already gone to basic training? He seems to be out of the picture totally. Joan said he was working in the ER when Roger called, but he was not an ER doc. Would he have just let her go to the SC office and basically spend the whole weekend? She said something about how he was going to be upset about her being gone so long, but maybe that was just for show? It was so great to see her back in action! Can’t wait to see the new company interact next season.
