Bay Area. Mom has appts at the SF hospital where she had her tumor removed. We'll stay at my brother's house in the East Bay while another brother takes her into SF for the appts. My nephew can play with his cousins, which will make him happy! Just about to leave ... my brother has a computer in the room where we sleep, so I'll check in later, though will have to skip this thread so I don't get spoiled ... unless bro and SIL are MAD MEN fans and we all watch it tonight!! Fingers crossed! |

I'm so jealous...I miss home. Two places on earth feel like "home" to me, Hanalei and San Francisco. |

Stunned. Just perfection from beginning to end. There is not one part of this I didn't love. http://www.vulture.com/2013/06/mad-men-recap-season-6-finale.html Didn't really feel this recap captured it, but I liked the ending. I liked the "odd and ends" better.

OK, not editing again, other than Slate most of the good interviews are linked up there. These links are all after-show interviews with Wiener, and yes, they are all different because different questions are asked in many of them, or asked in a different way. Very enlightening. Alan Sepinwall and Maureen Ryan are having interviews with Wiener. (Wiener may be doing more) Here's hers: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/24/mad-men-season-7_n_3473171.html Here's his: http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-watching/mad-men-creator-matthew-weiner-on-dons-confession-bob-bensons-origin-and-more-from-season-6 Vultures: http://www.vulture.com/2013/06/matthew-weiner-interview-mad-men-finale.html EW: http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/06/24/mad-men-finale-matthew-weiner/?iid=rcfooter-tv-%27mad+men%27%3A+matthew+weiner+says...

Best episode ever. I would not even be unhappy if the series ended on this note. It was perfect. (Oh one little minor note, people who go to Miss Porter's refer to it as "Farmington." Didn't affect the show, just thought I'd throW that in.) Oh, and Keirnan Shipka and he last expression , she has shown more acting talent in that one expression than Jessica Pare has shown in all her scenes put together. And JH, brilliant again.

WOW. I just watched it and all I can say is WOW. It really did feel like the end of the series,everything tied up neatly(well, almost). If this episode doesn't get awards, nothing does. Yep, Kiernan Shipkais a fantastic actress, and Jessica Pare...well,not so much. I can't get past her wonky mouth ( and this coming from a girl who has spaces in her teeth!) not to mention her one-dimensional acting. |

So agree! This episode was just sheer perfection for me. You know how I say I always like to watch them again and then they get better for me each time? This one was the opposite for me. The first time was everything, just so unexpected at every step, so funny/sad/worrisome/intriguing that I could not look away. At the end I felt kind of like you feel after a perfect day, or perfect meal--just sort of stunned at how wonderful it all was. When I watched it again I still liked it very, very much, but I knew what was going to happen, and it was like a seasoning was removed from that perfect meal. Part of the WOWZA for me this time was the endless surprises and punch of them. SO good! This episode kind of bumped this series into my favorite thing ever on TV, such a perfect dessert. I'm so buying the rest of these DVDs. This recapper actually went to the Hershey's school for orphans! http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/tv_club/features/2013/mad_men_season_6/week_12/mad_men_finale_in_care_of_review_hershey_s_don_draper_and_me.html (The Slate Reviews were so-so this week.) One of the other Slate reviewers brought up something interesting about cruise ship deaths though, I think I'll just put that in another topic here. Edited by Mariah, Jun 24 2013, 04:27 PM.

I never realized Don was from PA. Thought it was the Midwest somewhere. |

I'm not sure if I knew or not. There are a lot of rural and poor areas in PA from what I understand, certainly were during the depression, so it could fit. In reading some of the recaps and interviews, I'm not sure Pete is even still with the agency. I figured he joined Ted as the Ad Man of the pair, but who knows? Posted Image Love Peggy's dress! From that, to this in one episode. Posted Image Our first pant's suit!

I assumed Pete is going with Chaough, but it wasn't explicit. From the little desk somewhere that Stan envisioned, the California operation is gonna be pretty powerful. I hope Stan gets there too. I guess PA fits, particularly western PA which would have been more rural. Edited by weaver, Jun 24 2013, 06:34 PM.

There are so many interviews and recaps out there, I swear, I haven't posted them all. Lots of cast interviews, director interviews, season 7 recaps, as well as finale recaps. I'm still in recovery mood from my virus bug, so staying home and on the computer. Also, I have a major crush on this show. :$ :P I'm kind of besotted in a way I haven't been since Alias. Here's one more some of you may like, Vanity Fair interviews Elizabeth Moss. http://www.vanityfair.com/online/oscars/2013/06/elisabeth-moss-mad-men-interview I'm still kind of stunned that Manola actually did kill Pete's mom, which is clear in several Wiener interviews. I don't think Bob was involved with that, but you never know. He is the one who brought Manolo in after all, and they could have both thought Pete's mom was still rich and an easy mark. If she still had any money we would probably see Manolo again, but since she was basically broke, he's probably gone forever. The interviews made it clear that Joan did land Avon. That was probably the biggest mistake of the writers in the finale, they really should have had a throw away line, it could have been as easy as someone mentioning the Avon art work was in. I think they just forgot with everything else happening. Also, the whole "why the hell is Pete going to California?" seemed to bug some people and recappers. That one didn't bother me, I just assumed Chevy fired him because who wants an ad man who can't even drive a stick on their team? He had nothing else going, so heading to California with Ted made sense to me. I kind of love Pete, and root for him almost in the way I root for Don, in spite of himself. Pete, really free from all of his ties, might be very cool to watch in California. |

Wow- I am so in love with Don Draper. He just looked so god damn handsome when he looked at Sally at the end. I know I'm superficial. Just finished. Taking it in. Oh he made me cry during his Hershey's speech and now I will read all your comments. I stayed away

I'm glad you stayed away! This is one show I am so freaking glad I wasn't spoiled for. Posted Image Miss Allie, some things never change. I secretly HATE that she got the job with NPR though. to believe in his growth as a person is to be seduced by his toxicity Hmm, some personal hurt perhaps? Edited by Mariah, Jun 25 2013, 12:05 AM.

I didn't really love that NPR blog and I don't agree with it all. I'm off to read some other ones later after I get all this stuff done that I keep putting off after listening to Both Sides Now 6 times. I need to make a little MM music tape from this season. Loved the music.
