Mad Men: Season 7 (Part 2) 'The End of an Era' - April 5th

[AntoineWalkerShimmy]

Another underrated scene: Pete and Joan in the cab (and the role reversal of Pete telling Joan it would be okay and being reassuring).

Also, Joan knows it's gonna be what it is in Cali - yeah they're giving them these big accounts (except for her) and everything but eventually they'll be whatever. They're already losing the power titles they had at SCDP and becoming employees technically.

Also, for Roger. The last Sterling name/thing he had (the company) is gone, and the family name will surely die out.


At the same time at Roger steady banging Meghan's mom

joan only wanted to go to cali so she could be close to her new boo... she's such a sucka for love

Don was like they don't even want to hear what I gotta say?


Weiner not gonna let any important character find happiness. Instead we got Lou going to Japan to chase his dream.

we need one last sales pitch from don just for old times sake

I think that scene was showing us that we won't get one, that was it…It's time for Don to sit down. I loved how they set it up like they'd pull off another rehabilitation and restructure of the firm, down to the inspiring and hopeful music that always plays in the those scenes…But, Jim Hobart laid down the law, and as a viewer you knew that coming the whole time. This scheme was so small and so desperate and pleading, but you will not take some peoples independence or sense of self from them. Pete, Joan, Roger and Don are fighters, and have proved themselves to be so.

Loved Roger and Kens interaction: 'I feel like a spy'….'You look like one' , loved the scene with a drunk Don and Roger, Jon Hamm does the smug and self satisfied facial expressions so well….but Roger's 'You're ok' line was the most poignant and touching of the episode, and definitely stood out as far as Don and Roger's friendship….That may be an indicator of how the show well end, it seems to have subtly reversed things, and I am not anticipating a dark ending so much as a new beginning for Don….we will see.

The Peggy storyline at it's funny moments and I have always liked Stan and hers relationship, but the female plot lines of the show can sometimes be grating, but I respect their intent and purpose.

Also, loved Pete and the deans scene, that was classic 'Mad Men' humor…'The KING ORDERED IT' and Pete losing it after all those shots at the Campbell family name, that was hilarious. 'You can't hit everyone'

Have to add I loved the Lou Avery phone call, just an absolute fukkboy of a man. Sniveling and oozing condescension, going to Japan to sell a bullshyt comic.

The fade out was as the episode close was great foreshadowing and way to sum up the episode, a changing of the times, of the guard, and the way the guard are perceived. Also, the noise (representing the change) slowing drowning out everything else, including our beloved show….

It's the beginning of the end.


Peggy


Pete's straight right.

damn Pete looked so different
... Remember how ambitious he was striving for the top.... But in the corporate world the top means being a drone for the machine .... Yeah you getting to work for coca cola but in exchange you're giving up the firm you helped build.... Just like don s aid to Peggy... All you want is bigger accounts. .... Only harry seems to still be oblivious... "this is great news!"

i liked that lou avery part... the dude don shytted on, finally got his dream. however small, he wanted to get that comic made.. now he was going to japan to do what he always wanted to do.. called him up laughing at him cause he finally made it

best part was that lou didn't even know don was losing his company.. don thinks he's calling to laugh at him for losing his dream, but really he's just calling to laugh at him cause lou got his... that ether

when that lady said

"i'll do what i want with my kids, you do what you want with YOUR kids"

[Propaganda]

THE KING ORDERED IT

 

[AntoineWalkerShimmy]

Lowkey have a spoiler theory about Don

Spoiler

Diane suddenly not at her apartment? Ted suddenly dating someone new who's a divorcee as well? She's not from NY/used to it?

Kind of hard not to start putting 1 and 1 together
