I thought that was him.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

I saw some good analysis of it on (I think) Vulture where they connected the finale to Don's famous pitch in the S1 finale "The Wheel." Which talks about returning to the place where you are loved.
And I think the import of Don's scene in the therapy session where he hugged the man, was that he *has* been loved but he couldn't recognize or accept it (because he doesn't feel worthy of being loved, or known). That, in fact, in the three phone calls he had during the episode with the three most important women in his life each had expressed love to him and it sounded like "I know" from Betty, and "Come home" from Peggy, and "treat me with respect" from Sally.
So I think Don is changed, but he's still cookie dough. And I did think of that last shot of Buffy when I saw Don's little smile.

I wish I had seen the last few episodes before they were postmortumed all over NPR. It would have made my reactions better I think.
I loved the scenes between Peggy and Roger and I loved that Jared Harris directed that episode.
I'm glad Joan is starting her own company instead of just frolicking with her man toy. He's the loser.
I'm glad Trudy and Pete got back together. i think that dinner with his brother was very telling.
One thing has really bothered me about this season: I can't remember how Ken lost his eye. Can someone refresh my memory?

It was an accident with a client, I think.

Correct. The Detroit car accounts.

No, we just saw the aftermath and Ken was pissed.
