Does anyone else feel sick about the last season of Mad Men?

[Lighthousekeeping]

I just saw the trailer and got really excited then, I remembered . I can't imagine Don in the 70's! Will he still be married? How old will he be now?

He did look rather attractive! I wasn't struck on Joan's boots or the colour of Peggy's outfits. Off to read Tom and Lorenzo

I'm not keen on the fashions from that era anyway. I'm not sure what he's up to. Btw, can someone tell he, the boy who went yo the farm is Dons son isn't he? He doesn't seem any older end compared to Sally who has really grown up. How old are the meant to be?

Just finished reading MadStyle for this week's episode.

"All they need is a van and a Great Dane with a speech impediment to complete the picture."

Sorrel I did an actual LOL when I read T&L.

I think I may love Stan, his beard is so fulsome

Me too! I may have even guffawed!

I'm warming to Stan but he'll never have my heart. His flares are worrying me.

I just like the way he is with Peggy - how he offered her his hand when she stood up last week. Just the little gestures and looks that makes me hope they will end up together.
His flares like his facial hair are splendid.

Very good. Amazed Don accepted the terms for his return.

TLO review was fab!
Why has Don gone back to Sterling Cooper when he had a great offer on the table from the other (hipper) agency? Is he planning some sort of revenge, or just can't stay away.

Betty is so strange. I think she genuinely wants to be a good mother and doesn't understand why she keeps failing. Is Bobby was thrilled she came on his farm trip, was a "cool mom" drinking the fresh milk from the bucket, then confused him by wanting to eat her sandwich he was probably expecting her to smoke then forcing him to eat his sweets. I do feel for her kids.

I really felt for Bobby, she was pretty mean and cold to him.

Omigod how much weight has Joan lost??????

Just seen the last episode you were discussing. Love seeing Betty being awful to her son just like she was to her daughter. She's so miserable.
Why on earth would Don agree to those terms?! He is going to end up with nothing, no partnership, no money, they just want him to trip up! He won't be able to stay on a script agreed by Lou in meetings! No Don, no! Just go live with Megan! Why wouldn't he go live in California where he wants to be with his wife who he loves?

It becomes clearer in this ep CrispyFern, he feels that he built SCDP, so he can't leave it.

He was a sweaty mess this week. I loved old Freddy covering for him and giving him the talk.
I want Don and Peggy to get their spark back together - it was an interesting power dynamic when she called him into her office. Nice moment with her and Joan too.

Great Roger / Margeret story too - she would be the last person I would have predicted to embrace the counter culture movement. Interesting that Roger couldn't bear the thought of her indulging in free love when it seems he has been pretty happy doing the exact same thing in his hotel rooms.

I love the fact that Roger is married to Mona in real life. Lucky woman first George Clooney and then John Slattery I prefer the latter

I did not know that Lighthouse. Nice fact!
I would like to imagine them dressed as their characters at home having breakfast - Mona with her furs and air of disdain, whilst Roger tilts a rakish eyebrow over his scrambled eggs

Oh that was so sad!

I know!

Wow Megan's true colours came out. I did think that Don was back on form by the end. In a good way.

Megan did not come across well. I've never been a fan but that was a different side to her.

Missed Pete though.

I didn't miss any of the others. I was glued to it.

I wasn't keen on that one, not sure why. Don has lost his oomph. Although maybe he'll get it back with the smokes.

feels like the show is desperately running out of steam - have always been massive fan but struggling to stay with it right now.

Yep me too.

I really enjoyed that episode. I think the show has more momentum now than it did last season when Don had that interminable affair with Sylvia.
Oh poor Ginsberg and poor old desperate Megan trying to cling on to her failing marriage.
I loved Don at the end, he is magnetic when he is on form. It was a great Fuck You to Lou and Jim when he put them in the cab. I hope he gets his mojo back in the office.
It really feels like characters are hurtling towards their fate.

Anyone seen the most recent episode ('The Strategy') yet?

It's on tonight

How good was last nights episode!
