The merger company wasn't interested in him, so maybe he just retired? |

Except Lipsa went on and on about Harry being over at Mad Men for the wrap party. I suppose he might have gone to it without participating in the final seven, though. |

It was my favorite kind of episode. Based in the office with office intrigue, but giving a look inside all of their personal lives. I think its what Mad Men has always done best. (Totally without reason, I have this bad feeling about Roger.) Haven't read any reviews, I like to mull my own thoughts on it. Don is just so darn mellow. He's authoritative yet accepting, I'm not sure I get it. And as for Diana, I'm not too happy that she might be in the picture. Pete does so much with his character, its amazing. I thought the headmaster was pretty dreadful though. I can't wait for the next few episodes, sigh. |

Mo Ryan at Huff Post wrote my favorite one so far. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/27/mad-men-time-and-life_n_7149408.html Mostly because I honestly didn't get how BIG McCann is, and how piddling what Don was offering was.
bolding mine. |

I hate the guy playing second gun at McCann. That actor, Paul Johansson, was the dad on ONE TREE HILL and he was such an asshole on that show, I've never forgiven him. LOL Great episode, worth a rewatch and reading of all the reviews. ETA: Weaver, I had that feeling about Roger, too. Edited by IcyAll, Apr 27 2015, 12:10 PM.

Yeah, I didn't watch One Tree Hill, but I recognized that actor. It happens to me so often on Mad Men, because he uses good actors that have been around. There really is no job for Roger at McCann, he's still drinking, and probably somebody has to die. But there was just something about him in this episode that spelled the end of his era and of his type and of him. He is such a good actor. I wonder if he will even mention his son with Joan before the finale. Joan looks as if she might be heading for a happy ending, and Weiner better not disappoint me.

I used to think he was a good actor. Then I saw him as Ironman's father, Tony Stark, Sr. in the Ironman movie. And he was still Roger. Even to the point of drinking whiskey while he talked. It was the same performance. |

Well he has great comic timing, and that should fit a lot of roles. I remember him as SJP's short term boyfriend on S&tC. Was he a Congressman or something? I remember them on the Staten Island Ferry somehow. He was pretty good. I'll have to check it later. I was just thinking how the McCann guy said Coca Cola. All those little things in MadMen really stand out. |

Yeah, the first few years of watching Mad Men, all I could think when he was on screen was "When will he ask to pee on one of these women?" That S&TC episode is burned into my brain in a cringe way. But yeah, that was basically the same guy as Roger, handsome, witty, smart, and sexy. He's directed a few Mad Men episodes so he may move into that more. I love that he's still married to his wife after all this time, it's the actress who plays his wife Mona on the show. So adorable. |

And the daughter of Martin Balsam, a really good actor from back in the day. |

Loved Marton Balsam. He was in everything. Is it Talia? It was very interesting having Don look out the window at the end. Just a scene could be before the fall but that is way too obvious and Don isn't going to do that. Jump that is. I think the entire show was about his fall from grace and his ascent back and forth. I honestly want a happy ending. Sick of sad endings. lol they seem to have these days. Pthe only ending I loved was the shield. Thought it was brilliant putting Mackey behind a desk. Beautiful and entirely satisfying Edited by cccharley, Apr 29 2015, 09:10 AM.

Yes it is Talia. and it seems she's the niece if Dick Van Patten. Her mother was Joyce Van Patten, who I vaguely remember. |

This episode has left me feeling very unsettled. I'm pissed as hell about Joan, Roger helping that ass send her off. Hate watching male chauvinism as if it's entertainment. Peggy did look super cool walking into McCann. |
