Mad Men: Season 7 (AMC) (1 Viewer)

I wasn't alleging that the show used an image from the short; just thought it was cool that they both contained images that were so similar.


But I do confess I want to see a full-length Don-O-Mite feature!

I have to figure that Jon Hamm wins the Emmy this year. Emmy doesn't want to go on record never giving the award to the actor who brought Don Draper to life for seven seasons. (Hamm's been nominated every year of the show's life.)

Plus he wins a lifetime CLIO award for the Coke ad.

I know it's been over a year since the finale aired. I've been watching the series via blu-ray and sort of procrastinated from watching the second half of the last season because I didn't want it to end. I finally binge watched the last 4 episodes last weekend. I managed to avoid spoilers, knew Coke-Cola was involved in the storylines of the season, but didn't see that coming. I should have known from the hotel owner asking Don to fix the Coke Machine.

I think the show ended well, it was satisfying. I agree that the ending wasn't that pat for everyone. The Peggy-Stan romance was fun to finally see happen and the Hollywood way it was depicted. But who knows it will endure. Same with Joan, she may still find a guy and he business may or may not work out. Roger and Marie may break-up but I think it works out. Pete and Trudy seem solid now and I was amused he was able to make a break and start over which was what he needed. We assume Sally and her brothers do ok. I was quite sure Don went back to McCann Erickson and did do the Coke ad.

The smile Don had for me meant that he had his lightbulb moment of both figuring out who he is and he was finally at peace with himself. And that he had the inspiration for the coke ad from his experiences at the spiritual retreat.

What a great series!

In case this might be of interest to the Mad Men fans, Matthew Weiner has a new book out on the series:

Great looking book but $200 is pretty steep.

It is steep. This one from Taschen could be autographed as I've seen it listed for much less on other sites.

Taschen often puts out both a very pricey collector's edition and a more reasonably priced version of their books.
