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.

I thought that was him.

I think Don has changed internally. When we met him, he was impersonating a great ad guy along with his marriage where he was impersonating a good husband. Over the next seasons, he grappled with h who he was and tried very hard to hang onto that false character, but lost it through drinking and faithlessness. He lost Better then Sally, then Megan, then his job. During this last season, he let go of Don and went back to being Dick, and finally accepting Dick.

When he goes back to NYC, I thick he'll be a better boss and a better person, because he accepts himself now.

Guy who played Ferg, maybe not an actor after all: [link]

Yikes.

Yeesh. You'd think playing a part like that would maybe sensitize one a bit. Maybe he didn't read any of the script other than his lines, I guess.
