"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Even though I like Peggy and Stan. I would have preferred Peggy's story to end with a professional victory.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hey now, I called that!

I liked the idea that Don reinvented himself in CA

Did he though? Sure seemed like he was trying to but he could only keep being the same guy.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I kinda love that Don took his rediscovered self and went back and put it in an ad. EVERYONE loved that ad.

I actually bought the Stan-Peggy thing totally. After all, Weiner didn't end them with the kiss. The last we see of them, she is working and he is being supportive. I think that's the clue to their future.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hey now, I called that!

TECHNICALLY you called "It's the real thing."

I actually bought the Stan-Peggy thing totally.

Yeah, that had been foreshadowed pretty heavily. But I wish Peggy had gone with Joan!

I wanted Peggy to go with Joan too.

I don't see that Don reinvented himself at all. If he went back to the agency then he is still just the same guy who is probably going to continue to pull shit like this and drink too much. He's really just the same guy from S1. I was really expecting a whole new identity.

As much as I would have loved to see Peggy and Joan in a successful partnership, I think Peggy is actually better off at McCann in terms of what she wants for herself. At least she didn't have to choose between professional success and romantic happiness the way Joan did.

Still a little sad that Ken seems to have given up writing altogether.

Don's journey totally makes sense to me, but I don't care about it very much. I love that he identified so strongly with the guy who started his share (or whatever these people call it) by saying he wasn't interesting. And so in character that he would take any personal insights and turn them int an ad - that's always been his genius.

Kinda curious about how the car did.

Guessing things don't go well for Sally for a while. Betty's plan for the boys to go to her brother would probably be best for her, but I'm guessing Sally's plan (that does seem better for the boys) will be what happens because she'll be the one with the strongest will at that point, and she'll end up taking care of them instead of going to Madrid or whatever for a long time.

By the way, Don's guru out by the ocean was Helen Slater, aka, Supergirl (or Billie Jean).

Thanks, Hec. I was trying to place her.

Saw several folks mention elsewhere the Supergirl counseling Black Canary (Caity Lotz) angle. I liked seeing Brett Gellman, cuz I miss "Go On" and he pretty much played the same guy.
